The most intelligent basketball conversation ever had was when Hubie Brown ate dinner by himself

[…] crew on the floor, it’s bad enough that it’s the Utah Jazz and San Antonio Spurs, put Skeletor out there at least for some entertainment. How many times do we have to hear Mark Jackson joke […]

[…] So while all that is nice, you asked about my “favorite” memory. To narrow it down to just one is asking a little bit much, but if I had to I’d say that my favorite memory from back then was during the 1989 ECF. I believe Jordan broke out with a typical Jordan night in Game 3 (I think he had 46 points), but as I was able to scan through the tape I noticed how chippy our boys got with Jordan when he didn’t have the ball. I saw headlocks being thrown by Laimbeer, forearm shoves by Rodman and Mahorn, and great defense by Dumars. He may have scored 46 that night, but he they weren’t easy. I think on the tape I heard Dick Stockton and a very young Skeletor (aka Hubie Brown)… […]

still a big fan of bill walton’s outrageous hyperbole and verbose excitement! Though he used to annoy me.. I’ve come to appreciate and be entertained by him.

I love Hubie Brown because he actually adds value to the broadcast by explaining what you are seeing- giving coaching context, etc. He and Doug Collins are the best in the biz at that.

Hubie Brown should be the voice of the NBA forever. Even if they have to store his disembodied head in a jar, like on “Futurama.”

I can here Hubie saying LanierFan’s post too…awesome.

After the game Hubie went a couple rounds with Man-o-War, I have no idea how it turned out!

I do love HB, he is a joy to listen to. Tirico, is much better on Pistons broadcasts than other teams. A bit of a homer, not too shabby.

Hubie Brown is one of the top talents we have in this league, okay? Now: Tirico is a major negative, no question. But what you have to remember is that his role isn’t a go-to guy, he’s a distributor. So that’s okay, you can live with it.

BoyBoyIndo… I’ve re-read that 3 times and I can’t stop hearing Hubie’s voice each time I read it. //// I also agree about Tirico not taking time for air…I like the guy, but damn can he talk. and talk. and talk. However, I’d still take him over Mike Breen any day of the week. The same Mike Breen who feels it is necessary to inject inflated enthusiasm into the most mundane of activities.
“…And Ohhh my Haslem gets up off the bench and ties his shoe!! Now he’s walking to the scorer’s table!! I think he might be checking into the game! oh my!”

aww man. dissing on good ‘ole hubie… that’s just wrong, dudes… but funny…

mike tirico and his incessant, irrelevant prattle during key possessions late in a game, though, drives me freaking nuts…

“You might ask why I get called Skeletor, well the answer is really simple. First, you take a look at my face, I look like Skeletor. Okay, right? I legitimately scare the crap out of kids. And secondly, you have to consider what Joe Crawford saw and that was the fact that I really, really do look like Skeletor.”
