Most Annoying NBA Commentators

Why thank you. I noticed he really has mellowed out on the Jordan V Kobe crap. I don't care if he compares Kobe with guys like LeBron, that's more realistic. Kobe's a great great great great great player, but damn. Quit trying to sell other player's tickets with Michael Jordan's name. That's all I'm sayin.

Some of Mark Jackson's worst comparisons:

Jordan V Kobe
Russell V Shaq
Bird V Dirk
"When Manu Ginobli attacks the rim he reminds me of Earl Campbell"
"Leon Powe reminded me of Dr J in the dunk contest on that play"

Bird V Dirk?

Most of them. Gimme a radio broadcast ANY day over a TV one. Very, VERY few commentators really and truly know what they are talking about. Either they are too bland, or try too hard to come up with some sort of "gimmick" to appease the fans. I don't mind a guy being a bit of a homer, but what bugs me is when you can clearly tell that a guy doesn't watch a team ever, yet still acts like he is the authority on them. So many commentators who do the Cavs games will still refer to Ilgauskas as "injury prone." That's real old news.

I miss the days of Bob Costas doing the NBA games.

Here's the Leon Powe quote.

his comparisons are just stupid, he was a decent point guard but as an analyst he sucks. i think he has something against MJ, always hating on him. maybe there's a reason for that (he couldn't get past mj in the playoffs!!!).
