Under these circumstances and only these circumstances I think it would have been better if Reggie had made a comeback.

Thank you for pre-emptively ruining my day.

Breen’s better than Marv…and Reggie Miller’s got NOTHING on Clyde

damn that makes me sound like a real knicks fan

I was really hoping Reggie would join the Celtics… so we wouldn’t have to hear his awful commentary.

Bryan says:
No one is better than marv.

Joel O's says:
Surely he isn’t THAT bad. OK maybe I’m biased because I love his game, and YES he’s got an annoying voice, and says nonsensical things like awards being “garnished”. But he sure beats annoying homer commentators, of which there are too many to count.

Fu*k TNT!! Marv’s great, though.

I’d rather watch them play 2-ball

Joel O's says:
Plus we were all simultaneously bemused/aghast at Bill Walton’s commentary back in the day, and honestly I’d rather have more of him. Admittedly, nobody’s got ANYTHING on Marv, but I think um everyone has a soft spot for Bill’s “thhrow it down!” and “SHTROKE IT, big man!” antics.

Reggie is talented

Bill Walton is at least comically stupid Reggie Miller is just a jerk and he sucks at his job.He’s not funny and he thinks he is..I miss Steve Kerr already.

Reggie Miller = Kermit the frog

Bill Walton is roughly 35,962,004,881 times better than Reggie Miller.

Why not let Barkley do the analysis. The few times he has provide analysis have been the most entertaining basketball I have ever watched. Sure, he’s not great at it but he is entertaining. If we’re going to have BS analysis I’d rather have it from Chuck!

Bill Walton is the king of unintentional comedy.

Marv will wear pantyhose and Reggie will be sporting red lipstick w/ matching rouge. Think about it.

Co Co says:
Now I hope the Celtics make one more strong push to get him to make a comeback. Seriously.

Krayzie Bone says:
Bill Walton is fun to listen to, even if he’s wrong all the time. You sit there and chuckle as he say something, particularly if the game is a dog. I don’t get TNT so I haven’t seent very much of reggie. I think the best combination was NBC with Marv doing play by play and steve jones fighting with bill walton for the colour.

Jared says:
Barkley takes too long to develop his thoughts to do play-by-play…it would be like listening to woody paige…Bill Walton’s the truth…him tom tolbert and anyone else on a squad together…that’s moeny

Captain America says:
Definitely, Sir Charles does color but not play-by-play. Marv Albert, the worst hair piece in the NBA. Reggie mumbles too much. I want TNT to give SLAM posters justice.

Ken H. says:
And Reggie Miller with the HORRIFFFFFFIC CALL! My favorite line was from playoffs last year when he botched saying “throwing everything bu the kitchen sink”. He should go back to doing cameos on Walker Texas Ranger

DennLive says:
Can’t they make some type of exception for Steve Kerr to come back and call games with him…PLEASE…even Cheryl Miller would be better….

Bill Walton is ubuntu. Reggie, not so much.

I got a fever, and the only cure is more Reggie Miller.

t-rocc says:
i hope the studio guys don’t go easy on him when he says something ridiculous. at least that could be entertaining…

John E. Sanford says:
Joel O., Reggis IS that bad. I guess Doug Collins’ bleached hair and Marv Albert’s toupee can’t co-exist.

Rob Paxon says:
Bill Walton can do no wrong. The guy is so obscenely likable it doesn’t matter how downright dumb some of things he says are. Reggie Miller reminds me of a Philip Seymour Hoffman character from the 80’s. The only way I back Miller as a color analyst is if Spike is a 3rd commentator.

Good old mute button.

Bill Walton’s comedy is intentional. And, believe it or not, he is extremely bright, and a very gracious dude.

Jukai says:
I dream one day of Marv and Walton doing commentary together.
Oct.19 at 2:14 pm
jbn74sb says:
Maybe they could pair Justin Williams with Marv, now that he is no longer playing basketball.

Bxballer says:
What’s wrong with Reggie? I don’t have a problem with him anymore sonce he isn’t killing the Knicks no more. Oh and Jared, Mike Breen is a total d*ck.

LordGef says:
did someone actually suggest that mike breen is better than marv albert? was that a joke? is this my life? is this real?

Rob Paxon says:
For the record jbn, I don’t think Walton is DUMB, just that he says dumb things. He’s the most hyperbolic man in a completely hyperbolic profession. But I find him thoroughly entertaining and he makes me a bit fuzzy in the heart.
Oct.19 at 4:10 pm
jbn74sb says:
I don’t think people realize that Walton is joking when he says things along the lines of “Kwame Brown just made the most amazing catch in basketball history.”

Jukai says:
So all the stuff he said about Canada during the Fiba America’s was a joke?
