Who are your favorite commentators or annalist?
Jeff Van Gundy is funny. Him and Mark Jackson always zinging each other.
And Charles, Kenny and EJ perfect combo. They laugh more thant they work. Welcome back Charles, it was a rough patch with Gary Payton..

I enjoy the chemistry of Van Gundy & Jackson, and the humor with Smith & Charles. I can't really compare in-studio analysts to game commentators though. Completely different. I think my fav is Doug Collins. His vast knowledge of the games nuances really provide some insight. Same with Hubie Brown. Plus Hubie's inadvertently funny to me when he calls everybody "the young man". He's an ancient dude, so everybody's a young man to him, but he's great.

I prefer Charles, Kenny and EJ. Those men are so hilarious and always know what they are talking about in regards to basketball. They do a good job of mixing comedy with basketball which is awesome.
I did not mind Webber but when Payton came into the picture; that was another story. They were like two dogs going at it back and forth. It was annoying.
As for Gundy and Jackson; to me, they do not provide any useful analysis and they make statements that are bold but very stupid. An example, LeBron is better than Bird (I think you can't make that statement considering LeBron has a lot more to accomplish in his career and Bird has done so much during his career; Give LeBron a few more years before you make big statements like that).

I am so glad Charles is back! I think Mark does a great job but I don't care for Jeff Van Gundy -- and can someone tell me if he and Stan are truly related as I perceive zero family resemblance. The other guys I like are Fratello and Reggie Miller.
