1.Kevin Harlin,"no regards for human life" was the dumbest ive heard so far.
2.Reggie Miller,everything he says sounds like he has a mouth full of marbles in it... very annoying.
3.Doug Collins,should try decaf before each game.

"Player X is one of the best in the business"...

It has been used on so many players that it has sort of lost all meaning!!

One of my favorite quotes from last years play-offs was Marc Jackson after Garnett's facial on Ratliff I think:

"I'm the Big Ticket...get in my poster!!!!"

loved it!!!!

"Bang!"

Mike Breen also irritates me to no end.

How could I forget Breen and his endless Won’t go! It’s good! Banks it in! Oh what a move by! Its an X! point game!
I remember thinking in that game 4 last quarter man how annoying must Breen sound to Lakers fan about now?

Can't listen to Breen at all.

I love Mike Gorman but it bugs me when he says somebody "airmails" it when they shoot an airball. Airmail was the coolest thing ever when they started it in the 1930s or whenever so it bothers me when he gives it a negative connotation. Then again, Mike is a pilot so who knows.

Also, I hate it when he says "so-and-so with the miss" referring to a rebound as opposed to a missed shot. Another positive that sounds like a negative. But Mike is cool.

Yeah Hubie loves that "now X is one of the best we have in the business". That and "this is a guy who'll give you X points every night".
I also have to add Reggie's "and that record WILL be broken"

Tommy: He's got a line about me. Tell him the line.

Mike: Everybody 60 or over knows Tommy as a player. Everybody 40 or over knows Tommy as a coach. Everybody 20 or over knows Tommy as a broadcaster. And everybody 10 or under thinks he's Shrek.

Also...

"When Ray and I were at UConn...." - Donny Marshall
Yeah, those do get annoying.

The worst though is any commentator who gets excited about refs. Makes it tough to watch local broadcasts (even here in Boston).

I am also sick of Reggie Miller making outlandish claims. He gets worse with experience.

"No Regard For Human Life" - What are you saying? Was he endangering someone's life with that dunk? Really? Shut up.

"Blahblahblah" - Continue for 3 hours. Thanks Doug Collin. I was more interested in you than the game anyways. The guy will try and talk over a roar from the crowd, I swear to God. Take a lesson from Vin Scully, please.
