Stephen A. Smith : "Dominique Wilkins wasn't included in the decision making process as much as before Ferry arrived"

I know in in the minority, but I can't imagine Nique bringing anything to the table besides his name. I totally agree with Ferry if this is true: I've never heard any in-depth basketball talk remotely poingiant, thoughtful, or original from Nique in all his years of commentating Hawks games. Love him to death, but nothing.

You can listen to almost any other broadcast and their NBA alum brings stats, trends, quotes, film study, candid opinions, etc. Alll Nique does is point out the absurdly obvious for 3 hours.

 

I tend to disagree.  It's not unusual for great players to recognize greatness in other players.  When commentating on games... I don't think anybody makes for a great sounding GM.  Did you ever listen to Pat Riley as a broadcaster?  You would have thought he was a comic relieving HOMER.
