I am upset with the JVG part. He was really good. Rose was awful.

They fire JVG, but keep MARK JACKSON?! That religious nut case and absolutely terrible at his job?

Say what?

NOW THAT is genius. I could watch Bill Burr rant about pretty much anything for hours. Especially on commentary. :lol:

I doubt they keep him in his current capacity. My guess is they plan to shift someone like JJ Redick into the lead role with maybe RJ. Obviously with Breen. I’d be shocked if Mark Jackson does any nba games going forward

Let me be the 23rd person so far to say, please get rid of Mark Jackson.

I hope so. They’re not gonna have an all white cast though. So I can see JJ and…oh…oh god no…

Watch on YouTube

Yeah I was just joking, same as JVG did with those quotes. I love him to death, and I think he is the textbook of how to be a great color commentator. He dishes out jokes in a dead serious matter but we all know he was just poking fun.

Obviously everyone has their own preferences, you cant have a TV person that is loved by all but compared to his peers, I think JVG is a gem and really joyful to watch by most.

JVG/SVG would be a pretty cool tandem

Jalen and jacoby should start their own podcast. I missed their show.

Sign up for a popularity contest when you take an on-air job and frankly, many of these have been losing for years so they can’t really complain.
