The thing I hate the most about the NBA Playoffs is when I have to listen to the post-game analysis from EARVIN JOHNSON. It’s like hearing Uncle Remus on prime time television. It wouldn’t upset me so much if EARVIN came into the studio dressed in cut up overalls and a straw hat.
JOHNSON is one of America’s wealthiest Black men yet with all of his money he refuses to hire a speech therapist. For crying out loud, EARVIN gives people lectures on managing their money. I wonder if he’s accompanied by a banjo player?
There’s no banjo or washboard inside the Turner network studios. Instead we have to watch EARVIN butcher the English language when he stammers and stutters through polysyllabic words. I like MAGIC (nullus) and he was certainly one of the greatest players in the history of the Association, but there are tons of players that were capable on the court and can give a listenable, cogent breakdown of what is happening on the basketball court. When I have to listen to MAGIC and BARKLEY on the same telecast I lose my fucking mind.
LMAO!!! HAHAHAHAHA you are so cold! HAHAHAHAHAHA (but right!)
I feel the same way about John Madden. He was a great coach, but not much of a personal speaker. I mean his calling card is “boom” or “bam”. I wonder if Al Micheals ever drinks to cope with that. Hell football annoncers in general…what the hell is “Out Physical”?
Yeah, Earvin doesn’t say a lot that needs to be said, and he doesn’t say that little well. (My impression of him, eh?) He’s a little like O.J. used to be when he announced NFL games.
The Chuckster is funny. He always knows when it’s right to interrupt the basketball commentary for a sharper look at sartorial s_ _tiness.
Did you ever catch Tim Hardaway during his attempt at the TV game? I hope someone has THAT on YouTube.
i heard kobe is gonna do some commentary tonight. or some time during the rest of the playoffs. is that true?
yep, SHOWBEE on TNT tonite
damn dp, that was funny as shit. i been lurking for a minute but that shit was so funny it made me laugh out loud. i had to comment…man if magic wouldn’t do it for that weak ass talk show of his, what makes you think he’ll do it for a few broadcasts on tnt. with these people hiring him to tell them how to get rich like magic, i’m sure you can’t tell skillet shit about his diction.
Did you know the homie Magic now owns the Williamsburg building in Brooklyn (the clock tower) and it will be converted into private condos? That’s gangsta.
A slave-talkin’ ass mega-millionaire black man in the 2006. Gotta love it.
HEY!!!
GIVE MAGIC A BREAK!!!!
U FOOLS CRACK ME UP. SO WHAT THE MAN CAN’T TALK CLEARLY ENOUGH FOR YOUR “DELICATE” TASTE. MAGIC HAS DONE MORE FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY THAN SOME OF THESE “NORMAL” TALKING ATHELTES YET COONS LIKE Y’ALL AREN’T SATISFIED ENOUGH. SO WHAT THE MAN HAS A FLAW, SO FUCKIN’ WHAT?!?!? U COONS BUTCHER THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN YOUR OWN WAY, SO WHY POINT FINGERS. FUTHERMORE, IF HIS SPEECH WAS ALL THAT BAD, WHY HAS HE BEEN ON TNT FOR THIS LONG?! KENNY SMITH IS DRY, BAKLEY LOVES TO HEAR HIMSELF TALK AT LEAST MAGIC IS ABOUT THE GAME.
U FUCKERZ!!!!
FOREVER SHOWTIME, BITCHEZ!!!!
D!
I like when he talks to the players through tv. Like he was a really good coach. It sucks cause ej kenny and chuck just let him run his mouth. I just wish Ej would be like “Mufucka this is E.J.s house not M.J.s take your syrup sippin ass to the best damn sports show with that bullshiiiiittt.”
