Who are the top five worst reporters in the basketball media?

[nickagneta]

I can't help but see that Greg Dickerson is being quoted here at Celticsblog as a news source and now Stephen A. Smith. To me, they are among the worst basketball news reporters/commentators/people in the media in the NBA.

So who are you top 5 worst?

For me I don't think I have an order but here are some:

Greg Dickerson
Stephen A. Smith
Skip Bayless
Jemele Hill
Chris Broussard
A. Sherrod Blakely
Tommy Heinsohn
Sam Amick
Craig Sager
Shaquille O'Neal

If you are including Shaq ie "halftime analysts" magic johnson has to be number 1

I'd have to have two lists, one for reporters and one for analysts. I'm going to have to ponder it.

[LooseCannon]

You might be better off coming up with a list of five or fewer top reporters and saying everyone else is tied for last.

Yeah. And "reporters" might need to be broken down into subgroups, too.

Is Gary Tanguay a reporter?

That's an excellent idea Faf. TP.

BTW, I used reporters in the heading because trying to put down what I wanted was too long. LOL

Forgot about Tanguay, but I have to say, watching the Orlando Magic telecasts here in Florida, some of the guys here make him look good.

Tommy Heinsohn? Please just stop. Hes a great announcer for Celtics fans who makes it feel like home whenever you watch a game. Not to mention hes an incredibly knowledgeable basketball mind. Give me a ****g break.

We talking beat writers, columnists, analysts?  One of the three?  All of the three?

No need to be rude. I put him there because people outside Boston think he's a horrible analyst. I love Tommy and find him entertaining and knowledgeable. But objectively speaking, he's horrible for anyone who isn't the biggest of Celtics fans

Whatever you want.

He's the best. Love Kamla.

At first, I thought his attitude/delivery was just schtick, but he genuinely loves hoops. No pretense, no ego.

-Broussard
-Tanguay
-S.A.S.
-Sam Amick
-Jemele Hil
-Magic Johnson
-Shaughnessy whenever he writes basketball
-Donnie Marshall

I'm sure I'll think of more.

Jemele Hill is a bonafide idiot.  I was shocked to realize she still had a job.

She has written some of the most moronic things I've ever seen from a sports writer.  Off the top of my head:  Claiming Kobe was better than Jordan... comparing the Celtics to Adolf Hitler...   

She's a Grade-A Fool.
