Yeah, people don't even realize he got his start in college basketball. In addition, most people romanticize players of their youth, it's not surprising he doesn't give contemporary players their due

Yeah he's a 60 year old white dude he's not gonna be a hardcore nba fan studying nba game film like Zach Lowe.If you want a guy who knows the players and all the teams extensively that's not his demographic

But he does know the game and X's and O's you can hear it when he does talk basketball

Russo isn't leaving. He has MLB Network and Sirius $$$

Maybe Mike would jump

His contract ends in a year and so does mike so that's the connection but it's still a longshot

Plus mike said he's never going to espn radio which is the only other sporte radio station so when he leaves wfan if he doesn't retire he'll be back on TV not radio

O yea, that MJ/Lebron thing had me kinda perturbed also but let's not act like Francesca isn't known to downplay another person's achievements/roles when he tries to solidify his points. We all know that Mike is the greatest and FAR from a one dimensional player, and Francesca does also, but he just wanted to build up his stance on Lebron. He even said several times during the playoffs that Mike wasn't one dimensional it's just that him and Lebron are different players (which is true).

Most of the rest of the stuff he had to say about the games and play during the playoffs/Finals was accurate. Mike is a pretentious a$$hole most of the times, but let's not act like he isn't entertaining and also VERY knowledgeable about sports. And I'd listen to him over Lebatard or Russilo ANYDAY of the week and twice on Sunday.

Well yea, we definitely don't see eye to eye on that, Lebatard's radio show takes a wet shyt on that old cac talking about horses.

Ok, whatever. Lebatard wishes he was Mike. He most likely looks up to Mike like Action Bronson looks up to Ghostface. Just is what it is. Mike > Lebatard. Lol at this n!gga calling Francesca an old cac in defense of Lebatard like Lebatard ain't an old cac himself :mjlol: Some of y'all n!ggas man. Can't make this sh!t up.
