I don't mind Jackson & Coach Gundy (though JVG's "my words are my weapon" abomination last week was cringe worthy). Marv's still the man even though his voice has lost a lot of power over the years. Collins is my favorite analyst. Hearing him call out J Smoove when he was sulking during a game vs the Magic was brilliant (not many would). Chuck, Kenny, CWeb & EJ are always entertaining.

The thing he says the most is "You talk about..." has anyone else noticed he starts the majority of his sentences like that Jackson annoys the hell out of me.

I love quirky stats like these. :) My only gripe with this article is the comment about Mark Jackson. In my humble opinion he is the most annoying broadcaster on TV. "Mama there goes that man" is a broadcasting abomination and ridiculously over-used. Jackson makes my stomach turn... Give me any mixture of Doug Collins, Bill Walton, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, Mike Breen, JVG and the Miami Heat guy. (whose name escapes me) Mike Breen or Marv Albert at the helm, and I'm happy. Great article though. Thanks. :) Haha! Great insight!

Van Gundy is an idiot with hardly a smart thing to say. Mark Jackson has his moments, 'mumma' there goes that man' etc, but he can't carry the entire broadcast. Mike Breen is the only one worth listening to. Give me basketball royalty like Marv-elous and the Czar. Miller of course is worthy. Plus the TNT graphics and production values are way better.
