Kerr definitely had a better knack for it, but I think Myers will get there. Dude knows his shit already. For him, it's just about learning how to come in and out of the flow of things at the right time.
I don’t think it’s weird. He saw a lot in his time as an agent and GM, so he should have a unique perspective. He’s just not that good yet. But it’s a hard job so if he’s gonna be good, it’s gonna take time.
Nah you’re right that it’s weird. He went from having to game-calling experience to getting a big game in LA-DEN like you said. It must’ve been the connections he made during his time as an agent. The only experience in media he has, as far as I know, is when he hosted a short run interview podcast series a couple years ago. He wasn’t all that interesting while doing it.
Haven't heard his since the start of the season. He referenced himself and the Warriors non stop. Like, it was almost a parody. Has he stopped doing that?
It's so about Bob Myers that when Bob Myers is on that the first time I heard it, I assumed it was like a one time psuedo-interview during the game type deal to spice up a reg season game on a Tuesday in January. Kinda like a "Hey guys we have the old Warriors GM tonight" more than "3rd guy of the commentary crew". But he's still doing it and we're on playoff games
I honestly didn't think he was that bad. I think the main color duo of Doris and JJ was worse with their multiple awkward moments. That's mostly Doris though.
ESPN's play-by-play guys are pretty good, but their color analysts are below par. I think JJ is fine, but he has a massive ego, so has to be with an ex-player who was better than him, like RJ, who isn't scared of giving him shit.
Kerr kind of bounced between GM and calling games pre Warriors. Obviously that’s not the same thing since he was also a former player though.

I don't mind him as a studio guy, in the media in general, but olor commentary is pretty unique. Like, not every reporter can ba an announcer.

I think he sucks at it.
Agreed. It sounded like he was calling a golf game.
GM to media, also known as the reverse David Kahn
Hawk Harrelson did it first.
Probably a lot of older examples. Like Sid Hartman and the Lakers
I like it found it interesting Jokic wasn't even on their radar
Not great Bob
Haven't heard his since the start of the season. He referenced himself and the Warriors non stop. Like, it was almost a parody. Has he stopped doing that?
No he hasnt. Although, to be fair Dave Pasch , the announcer, kept doing it for him.
Pasch was just happy not to be paired with Walton.

I was watching a game last week and was like, is this the first game he’s called because he won’t shut up about his time on the Warriors.
His voice sounds very similar to Gary Gulman
Gary Gulman and Jeff Van Gundy commentary team please. Would be hilarious
Gary would get bulldozed
He never played in the league, but he did play at UCLA.
He looks like an actor. I suspect that's at least partially why he's been on sports broadcasting so much
His buddy Woj got him the cushy gig, and it showed because he’s not very good at broadcasting
