This pic is AI, I was team Daz but this is a new low even for him.

Remember when he claimed Xzibit got slashed up so bad that he could never rap again? Daz always been a airhead

Is this AI?

Yes, daz is a joke.

oh man come on man those guys were amazing back in those days.  The game calls were so great and something we took for granted because they were always great in those years.

I love Bill Walton but my favorite all-time game call and favorite all time NBA Game is of course Game 6 Bulls Jazz 98 with:

Costas - The Michael Jordan of commentators
Doug Collins -  Former Bulls coach had great insight into MJ, Scottie, Phil, Bulls organization.  Basketball expert and enthusiast, good sense of humor and relationship with co-commentators
Isiah Thomas -  Doug had played in the NBA, but it was great to have one guy on the team that had played in the same era as these guys.  Had played alongside Rodman and battled Jordan, Scottie, and Malone.  Charismatic, smart, passionate about the game.

Other favorites:

Hubie Brown - not the flashest guy but really intelligent and insightful
Johnny Red Kerr - die hard bulls commentator, fatherly figure
Vern Linquist - such a nice guy
Danny Ainge - loved hearing Danny Ainge on a call.  Such a great guy, and golfing buddies with Jordan, Barkley and all those guys.  Played at the highest level with Celtics, Blazers, Suns.  Great locker room sense of humor kind of guy. 
Ahmad Rashad - on the sidelines, Jordan's homeboy, knew all the players personally.  Professional and had the inside info.  Great guy.


So many good ones we were really blessed in that era.  I know Jeff Van Gundy had a pretty good run in the Kobe years.

let's not forget the GOAT, chick hearn


jeff van gundy and mark jackson were a great duo in this era, but unfortunately got fired a couple years back


kevin harlan is the best nowadays

I didn't catch that part in the interview?  Where did you hear that?

...Outside of Atlanta, I wasn't a fan of the South in general.  Never have been and at that time the South was big in KC.  So I got into No Limit but never Cash Money or UGK or any of them cats.  These were the only Scarface related tracks I ever bumped..megabangers!

This is such a great game.  That Portland Team was a great team.  Talented up and down the lineup and even had bench guys like Cliff Robinson that could really play.  Flashy team, I thought they were a great fastbreak team just like the Lakers.  Terry Porter was really playing some great basketball then, and obviously their star Clyde Drexler.  I thought they would beat the Lakers and they were favored and had homecourt advantage.  But Magic had one last trick to play.  Magic was still in his prime, and his squad was also talented and deep with a young Vlade Divac.  James Worthy in his prime.  Byron Scott in his prime.  AC Green was a big time player in those days as well.  Great series, always remembered the finish with Magic slinging the ball to the backcourt with time running out...

man I used to love listening to Bill Walton and Snapper Jones on the NBC telecast

Well that's the beauty of this forum is you can always bump old threads.  The past asks questions and the future answers them.  Back when this thread was made everyone was excited about what role MJ would be playing with NBC.  We probably thought Jordan would be calling some games or at least visit the commentators booth for a portion of some games, maybe something like that.

It literally ended up just being one single one hour interview with Mike Tirico, which is being split into short segments over the course of the season.  Jordan was paid 20 million for this.
