Question, what if you put Bill Walton - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

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.

I love Hubie. He looks at the game the same way that I do, based upon statistics. He is the only guy that ever says "what you really need from Jon Koncack is for him to knock down 42% of his 17 foot jumpers. If you can get that then you have got the game in hand." That is my favorite Hubie quote. I don't expect other people to like it the same way.

I got you. I'd take Hubie any day of the week over Doug Collins. Holy hell I hate that guy. Every comment begins with "When I was coaching Michael..."

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

Chick was great, but I put Sculley ahead of him because a baseball announcer has to fill more airtime with talk because of the pace of the game. Vin can fill the time between pitches like no other.

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

Harry was very good, but he declined in his age, with the help of a bit of beer run each inning.

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