Yeah, I get that, but my point is still that Chuck is playing up his part of being a clown on the show. I've mentioned it a few times before about this topic when it comes up, but people are satisfied running with the money excuse I guess. Chuck was on the radio here back when he agreed to do the Dream Team and specifically said that he didn't care about the money and the money he did get from 2K to be in he wanted to all go to the retired players group. He doesn't do any sort of licensing with the NBA because his issue is with the league.

Then, can someone please further explain a couple things?

Note: I don't have access to TNT. Does Charles do analysis on other sports beside the NBA and March Madness? If Charles was so against the NBA, why does he do commentary analysis on the league?

Ok how about this, if they could add a second team (2 man), who would you want?

Play by Play ??????
Color Commentary: Stacey King

Stacey would have you laughing and then have you hyped!

Had no clue who Stacey King was. Thought King might have been female so I did a youtube search. People keep hyping up this and that announcer and they never live up to the hype. But Stacey is definitely some funny stuff. But you definitely need a more grounded announcer to balance things out and at least commentate on the action on the court.

Stacey King pure comedy gold.

This makes sense, if and since they're featuring college teams for MyCareer. Then Greg Anthony as a third commentator fits that vibe. Overall I'm just glad they cut Kerr out of the commentary entirely.

It's not so much he's so against the NBA that he can't talk about the game and the league and still enjoy it. Chuck has said many times that he believes the NBA is the best league in sports and they have the best commissioner etc. He still loves the game, he still watches as a fan, he just doesn't agree with the policies in place with regards to compensating and taking care of the retired players of the game. Besides that, he works for Turner Sports and not the NBA, so he can cover the league and still have the beliefs that he does about what the league is doing. It's no different than some of the NFL guys on ESPN. A lot of them champion the causes of retired players from the NFL in being better taken care of by the league even though they cover the league for ESPN, who they work for and not the NFL.

Sounds like a solid guy. Quit messing around and put Kevin Calabro in...the former sonic announcer is by far,the best around.

Mind showing me a quote for that? I'm pretty sure Barkley wants to be in the game if he gets paid good money, he's just a greedy **** that's all.

This made me feel real old for some reason! It reminded me when I was coaching a team a few years back and was teaching them off ball movement and how to come off screens and I used dale Ellis as an example. I saw nothing but blank eyes. I said google it when you get home! Smh

But I've heard and listened to Stacey king on NBA league pass but not a fan. He isn't bad and has some funny stuff but Anthony is a good fit IMO and a smart move.

Boo. Doug Collins would've been so much better. Then they could have Dorris Burke and David Aldridge alternate sideline reporting.. You read that Czar, OG, Mike, Rob, JSap, LD, Ronnie....

2K staff has been on these boards before and said it themselves ..

Barkley doesn't like the way NBA treats its retired players, so no, not even money will convince chuck

Greg Anthony is a great choice. Just the right guy.

Stacey King? Very annoying.
I can't handle Webber's mood swings and all over happiness.
Doug Collins always sounds like he needs a glass of water.
Barkley is so spontaneous I don't see that coming through in canned commentary.

I would like Hubey Brown too, but he is too much of a basketball-head to work, he is never touching any off-topic themes working at a game.

Players had COMPLETE body scans into the game. Yes, even legs.

haha...well, i guess that means people can stop complaining about 2k's player models having "cankles" and fat calves. i guess some nba players just have thicker legs than people think.

Excellent choice, loves me some GA.

I was hoping for a new commentary team of Magic and Bill Walton but I guess this will do.

Those two are the WORST! Thank GAWD no.

And a big HELL NO to King. I'm a Bulls fan and even I think he's annoying.

For people complaining about Greg to be boring, how in the world can you even suggest guys like Hubie Brown or Doug Collins? Hubie talks a lot sure, but the guy's voice and over the top statistics use makes him very boring. Doug Collins' is even worse, that guy has no energy anymore (he used to be good) and that voice is almost gone. Greg's voice is way different and deeper than Kellogg's, so he can at least give you something that all the others with natural boring voices cannot.
