Steve Kerr is still color commenting?

[kingjames23]

i am so sick of his negativity about everything that happens in the game. does anyone else ever feel like he is personally insulting you? God DAMN he needs to not do anymore NBA LIVE commentary.... even when you make a good play he tells you that you suck. fuck him. really.

[bee-boy]

yes he is still doing it. i was pissed when i found out in the other thread.

[killaray96]

wen does his contract end????

[Andrew]

No word on that but it wouldn't surprise me all that much if he's still in the virtual booth past NBA Live 10.

The only thing that annoys me slightly is that he's no longer working as a commentator so in that respect it's not particularly authentic, but I understand why the decision was made in wanting to continually build the library of commentary audio for the series and I don't mind Kerr on commentary. I guess I'm in the minority there.

No your not. He does a fine job. Just people like kingjames23, take it too seriously

[killaray96]

yeah he does a pretty good job.. i like commentary becuse it helps you if you actually apply whatthey say.. but i would still perfer mark jackson commentatin

[kingjames23]

give me kenny, charles and the white dude who beat cancer.... for the halftime show... no?

[JaoSming]

yes, the TNT crew IMO are the best right now....but, Sony's game has the TNT licence. There is a reason Kenny Smith stopped doing Live's dunk contest announcing.

I'd rather have anyone other than Mark Jackson. I used to not mind him too much but I found him just unbearable throughout the 2009 Playoffs.

[kingjames23]

the best combination for me was always marve albert and mike fratello

[bee-boy]

yeah marv and mike have also been my favorite too.

[Andrew]

Agreed, they did work well together. Of course they'd been teamed up at various times in the 90s on the NBC broadcasts before TNT got the band back together (as it were) earlier this decade and the chemistry was still there.
