Kevin « good » Harlan or Mike « Bang » Breen

[Soldier]

Who’s your favorite NBA play by play/announcer/commentator?

In my opinion, Harlan is consistently good and more enjoyable/engaging on a regular basis during games but mike Breen’s peaks are better. I love his iconic signature call « Bang » when a player hits a big shot. Outside of his big calls, Breen is professional but bland. His play by play during the game is very average. He’s not as consistently engaging/ enjoyable as Harlan on a game to game basis

I pick Harlan but Breen has the best signature call of the two.

Kevin Harlan got exciting commentary for all sports covered. So I got to go with that.

They're both really good for NBA though. I like Harlan's overall energy.

Damn this one is tough. Harlan's "good" I sort of prefer as it's a little softer and overall his calls suits all plays ie the Kawhi shot even though he didn't say "good" but would have went better than Breen's bang.

But Breen's bang for a big time shot gets you ultra hypea. Bang is great for those line drive shots that go straight in or bangs right off the back rim and in. And bang you can say multiple times lol.

Gonna roll with Harlan on this one but it's like 51-49

Harlan easily

Gus Johnson>>>Mike Breen

Man I miss Gus Johnson on national broadcasts, he is the GOAT. He did play-by-play for the Cavs vs Magic series and he was still awesome


When Gus says "PURE!!!"

i know this talking about bball. but man, I enjoy Harlen excitement. especially on the nfl broadcasts he do

 

[Mandizi]

Harlan, he reminds me of Albert at times.

 

[In The Zone '98]

Harlans call blends with the crowd a little better to me

Whatever the producers on TNT are doing works well

Harlan is one of the few play-by-play guys with an actual personality.
