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

[j804]

As far as Celtics talk goes Sherrod has to be at the top of the list

[Eja117]

Stephen A Smith followed by anyone that sites anonymous sources.  Also Ric Bucher. Jason Whitlock is more of an NFL guy I think, but he's pretty bad.

[The Rondo Show]

Doris Burke

[slamtheking]

Stephen A Smith is so bad he makes up the top 10 worst reporters

Including writers/analysts/broadcasters:

Chris Broussard
TJ Simers
Reggie Miller
Ric Bucher
Peter Vecsey

Juuusssttt kidddingg, but I'm particularly annoyed by anybody who spreads any false info whatsoever, because it gets me unnecessarily excited or depressed...

I also strongly dislike Doris Burke, for the Rondo incident.

[hardlyyardley]

Broussard
Magic....an English teacher's nightmare....makes Clemens sound eloquent
Tanguay...a lightweight

[Celtics4ever]

[LooseCannon]

Broussard

I may be confusing him with someone else, but I want to say Broussard is a guy who is worth listening to when talking about his local teams but kind of useless in his thoughts about the rest of the league.  Reporters who fit that description shouldn't be part of this discussion.

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

Tommy?  TOMMY?!?!

Also, do you mean Sam Amick (Sports Illustrated) or Sam Amico (the unreliable guy who covers the Cavs and is always spreading nonsense national rumors)?  I actually think Amick does an okay job.

No I meant Amick. He drives me nuts, personally, because around the trade deadline he will circulate....ANYTHING....and ends up being wrong 99% of the time.

Just the last few seasons he has been off the hook bad like that and it just gets under my skin whenever I see rumors spreading of this or that and then see the rumor come back to an Amick tweet.

Hall of Fame worst:

Dan Shaughnessy
Peter May

Yo, what's up with Peter May?
