Favorites:

Marv Albert -  Seems like he did all the classic Jordan games back in the day
Hubie Brown - Intelligent.  Speaks X's and O's rather then all this chearleader "go get em boys, yeah, go team, play harder" crap.
Mike Fratello - for the same reasons as Hubie Brown
Kevin Harlan - Was the voice of the kansas City Chiefs and then kept moving up to be one of the big names in his field.  "Ohh Baby What A Play!"
Bob Costas -  He's been doing it since I was a kid and he still looks the exact same.  He will still be doing it 100 years from now


Worst:

Rex Hudler -  Wow.. this guy is a nightmare!  He's extremely personable and a "fun", "positive" guy, he also played professionally so somehow that justifies him having a job even when the guy can literally not complete a sentence without some sort of backtracking or an awkward pause, and his analysis would be excellent if it were comedy, yet sadly he is being serious.  Was fired by the Angels but of course the Royals picked him up to replace legend Frank White in the booth because Frank "wasn't positive enough", lol.

Pat Summerhall -  Nobody made big games more boring than Summerall did.  He called a game winning touchdown with about as much enthusiasm as a first quarter punt.

Joe Buck-  A lot like Summerall.  I don't know why this guy gets the big games.  But he shows zero excitement or enthusiasm.

Madden -  This guy was so over-rated.   Maybe it wasn't his fault, maybe it was Summerall's fault but these guys would call a play the same way whether it was a touch down or a 2 yard gain on first and 10. 

Sccit:
chick hearn is the greatest of all time, and no one even came close......



that said, my best are:

kevin harlan is the best of the national cats nowadays.. great passion for the game, never gets boring like mike breen

marv is a legend, but has gotten stale over the years.. still comes correct, tho

joel myers got the golden voice, knows the game very well. too bad the lakers let him go for goofy ass bill macdonald. i started watching hornet/pelican games because of him last year.

spero dedes shoulda been the heir to joel myers throne, but the knicks got him. he's got good passion for the game and great at painting pictures.

stu lantz is hilarious when describing the game, especially when he tries to re-enact what players woulda said. tension between him and his partner is always good for a laugh, as well. most of all, though, he truly understands basketball and is a teacher of the game.

hubie brown is the best x's and o's in the business

grant napear is very respectable as the kings play-by-play...loves his team and depicts the games with excellence and true passion

jerry reynolds same as above

ralph lawler is a legend and has that old school feel to his broadcasts, which is always nice



worst

doris burke because i hate bitches talking sports, and she sounds like she got a dick in her mouth when she talks

tommy heinson he sounds like a crackhead heckler, not a commentator. joke that this guy still has a job after how much he's embarrassed the celtic organization

mike rice blazers announcer, one of the worst in the league, and almost as big a homer as tommy heinson

mike barret see mike rice

sean elliot major homer, only has a job because he's a former nba player

austin carr the cavs announcer sounds like george wallace on crack and gets way too overexcited for his own team

matt devlin the raptors play-by-play announcer is just an idiot, flat out

stacey king, the bulls announcer, another horrible homer



there are actually too many whack announcer to name em all, but thats what i got off top

.  Glad you feel me on Kevin Harlan.  He's a hometown guy and is around KC a lot still, makes a lot of appearances here on local sportstalk radio.  He has it all as far as announcing goes, the voice, the passion, and does all his homework on upcoming games/teams so he is well prepared.

Ohh.. one guy I forgot is Phil Simms.  When it comes to doing their homework and being prepared to cover a game this guy takes his job very serious for a former player. 

Like Sccit said some of the former players just got their jobs because they are former players and have never worked a real job in their life, they don't want to put in the man hours to prepare before a game, and just want to act as sideline cheerleaders.
