A thread to talk about NBA Podcasts / Personalities / Announcers / Shows / Broadcasters / Commentators

Dwyane Wade joining Noah Eagle on NBC's men's Olympic coverage.

Hmm, if NBC gets the NBA, Mike Tirico-Wade No. 1 team? 🤔

shaq because hes huge baby bitch has a whole thing with bill

shaq has so many weird beefs theres a compilation of all his episodes of that show

he hates bigs who challenge his all time standing

wade has generally always come off to me as a stiff phony, not optimistic about this direction at all. i think basketball TV is headed into a bad place in the amazon/NBC era

wade is very boring

good dad tho, i root 4 him as a visible and outspoken trans ally

yeah that has been really great to see

for sure he’s forever good in my book for that

the prospect of mike tirico and dwyane wade calling nba games is really dire shit

feel like itll just be really dull but not as bad as the bad tv guy, tho it could also be bad

These ESPN RV commercials were the best 🤣 pic.twitter.com/KkFBbQE0uj

we used to be a proper country

i remember almost all of those lol

every one of those is good and holds up lol.

“no one touches the shaqtus”

i cant even remember shaq being with espn

Those are so good.

i was wondering if this was the case

everyone loves draymond

it is kind of weird, like are you supposed to go yukk it up with a guy who choked out one of your coworkers?

tnt couldve considered not putting a choker on air imho

the narratives are bad but the metanarratives are worse, who likes this stuff i dont understand

stop the backlash backlash

the word narrative should be disallowed, you should have to say story

i just like to watch my stories

*me firing up my television to watch the nba finals* looks like it's time for muh progrum

Lmao

get him

got dressed down on his own show you hate to see it

ESPN just shining today

Kendrick Perkins: “Not one single series did [the Celtics] sweep [any team].”

Shannon Sharpe: “Indiana!”

Perkins: “Oh yeah, they just swept them. I’m sorry... But they’re supposed to sweep these guys.” 😅

really dont understand why perk decided to hate the celtics, hes burned through all the championship good will with the fans, cant imagine the team and org care for him too much at this point, its just weird hes trying to prove hes real or something, he used to be on the local celtics shows all the time mightve been smart to keep that in his back pocket

lol haslem trying not to laugh at perks buffoonery

why is perk on television I will never understand

its cause of his sweet accent

I do like the accent

what the heck

haha, the moses moody moment, a real gold classic

it’s like espn wanted their version of shaq and got perk instead

steve was grumpy on the dunker spot today he said he wasnt feeling well maybe he has allergies

pretty good discussion about TV stuff (mixed in w/ a lot of complaining) on the simmons/rusillo pod w/ bryan curtis. one point that curtis made that is simple but true is that barkley ultimately will have all the power here, and if he decides that he is a package deal w/ the rest of the 'inside' guys then the show will survive. if he's fine leaving and going somewhere else and taking the biggest check or whatever regardless then the show very likely won't survive in its current incarnation

shd do the package deal without shaq

damn dogg why u gotta do me like that

lol what did you do!

I don't know! I definitely never had any kind of back and forth with him, very odd

maybe you were out there dissing tesla self-driving or something

a part of the twisted KOC saga i was unaware of until recently is he started is career on celticsblog.com and now hes always doubting the celitcs picking against them etc trying to compensate or maybe just cause hes dumb, anyway celtics fans despise him

btw note the embedded tweet in the reply, what a fuckin loser my god

celtics blogging is an auspicious place to start an nba journo career, zach lowe's first gig was celticshub.com. of course not entirely coincidental, since i'm pretty sure it was simmons who gave koc his first national scale gig and audience. he employed lowe too but i think lowe was at si before grantland. shocking that i would suspect bill simmons of homer-nepotism, i know

i didnt know lowe started at celticshub thats wild down there in the celtics content minor leagues

media trying to make a thing out of jaylens hand resting on washingtons back is sad stuff they should get a life

Gotta have something to argue about and to make the series seems closer than it’s been
