Question, what if you put Bill Walton
and Todd Christensen in the same booth together.
And if that isn't good enough, throw in Joe Theismann and Paul McGuire. And have them cover women's volleyball. I would pay good money to listen to that. |

That would be a hoot.
If you want entertainment, you need to hear Bob Uecker call a ball game. Of course, if you've seen Major League, it's pretty much just like that. On a serious note, nobody is better at what he does than Vin Sculley.

Bill Walton is my favorite announcer. Hubie Brown is my second favorite.

Hubie Brown? Are you for real? He's Captain Obvious. He's the John Madden of the NBA.

Chick Hearn was the greatest. Vin is right up there. I miss living in LA. And I miss Chick Hearn.

Chick was so good and I love that he was the guy who pretty much mentored Hot Rod Hundley.

Vin just keeps getting better and better. And I'm not even a Dodgers fan.

Chick kept getting better too. His streak of games was amazing. 40 years straight. The guy created most of the vernacular used by commentators today in basketball. From Wikipedia: Quote:
