Just as long as Hubie Brown isnt in there (i know he's ESPN/ABC). When he is doing the game its the worst. The way he speaks (how many times does he say "ok" or "now look") and how hard he tries to justify every call the refs make as the right call, he is brutal. Mike Tirico, Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson would be nice if they could have the ESPN/ABC rights in the game. But just get TNT in there at least.

Hubie Brown is one of the most knowledgeable and best analysts there is

Being a Pacers fan I like Clark Kellogg in NBA 2k11 and would rather have Kellogg than Kerr. But, I'm playing the game for the actual gameplay not who is calling the games so it doesn't really matter who they have doing the play by play to me.

Oh ok. I'm in Mavs country so I wouldn't know about Pacers regional broadcast. You taught me something.

Anyway, I like 'em both. But Kerr might be a breath of fresh air.

Oh my goodness that is so backwards!!!

I'm sick of Marv, and Kevin Harlan is TEN steps ahead of him at this point in his career.

And Hubie Brown is legendary. His knowledge is unmeasurable.

Glad you're not in charge........

I don't like it, it's like taking the Live series commentators and adding them to 2k basketball. I don't want to hear Marv or Kerr...we've been hearing him since Live on PS2.

If they do add him as a third commentator, it better be refreshing and a good mix of all three.

Because the commentary in MLB 2k11 with 3 commentators is amazing!!! Better than anything else out! And 2nd to none so far!

We Want Chuck! We need his Trillness...

Him + Hubie Brown/Van Gundy = Perfecto to me, commentary would be better than the gameplay

I like this move because Clark doesn't do NBA games very much anymore and Kerr is very active in broadcasting. Could this also signal a TNT broadcast system for next year?

Hubie may be knowledgable i just can't stand listening to him because of how he talks. Too many times he's talking about something just kind of rambling to kill time until he sees the replay. He just talks too slow for my liking. Its not smooth and quick enough, he's always 2 steps behind the action. I'm not saying he doesnt know what he's talking about. Plus he's captain obvious with a lot of what he says. And he uses the phrase "now look" and the word "ok" way too much when starting what he's going to say or when he's watching a replay. Like he'll be watching the replay rambling about something waiting for the replay to show something and then when he finally sees something its "now look". Just something about the way he talks frustrates me. He says ok after everything. I absolutely hate it when he's doing a big game because it makes it less enjoyable to watch.

this guy isn't great but watch his Hubie Brown impression, he does a good job duplicating how he talks and how dumb it sounds. He doesnt sound like him voice wise but he gets his style down pretty good.
