I was too young to know the announcers. Bill Dundee, Jimmy Hart, and Jerry Lawler were big time celebrities as far as I knew.Lance and Dave Brown? That was excellent announcing- Solid in the play by play and the color commentary! Throw in a little Jimmy Hart sitting in offering commentary on the First Family of Wrestling. Can't be beat.
I thought they were just leaning way back in their chairs. I kept turning up the volume to hear what they were saying. Then, when something exciting happened, they sat up in their seats and would yell something like BOOM into the mic. With the volume up, they made me jump.Ive commented on this in the football forum before but now I'm noticing the same thing with basketball games. why do they suppress the crowd noise during these broadcasts? it's awful listening to nothing but the broadcasters without hearing the crowd when a big play happens.
I guess that's a matter of opinion, but I mentioned in the game thread today how he often goes too far. In an effort not to seem biased, he ends up effectively rooting against us by fawning over the other team and downplaying our play/positives. Many people agreed with me.
To be honest the bar is very low. Back in the stone age when they just had weekend broadcast and just 3 networks, doing 3 or 4 games. The bar was high and just the best of the best did the broadcast. Now we have numerous games on Tv within a 7 day period so you are going to hear some bad young announcers. To shine in this day and age shouldn't be as hard but they have to keep pushing ppl out there and culling the bad as they go.I think he's pretty good
That might be true overall, but there are still some great announcing teams out there at least as good as any in history, but there are also more bad ones now tooTo be honest the bar is very low.
