Also when I searched for "Atlanta Hawks ownership" the first result was a photo of Lebron James playing the violin.

Hmm, I don't get that pic at all, you must spend a hell of a lot of time on google searching for LeBron James to get that customized result. :)

Brings up memories of the original "decision", and why such a thing will never happen again.

Gives us an excuse to poo poo on Jim Gray.

Seriously, I always get this Darren Rovell douche chill off this guy. I guess he was the guy to discover Eric Dickerson got traded to the Colt, and then interviewed him. He was also at the last Browns game in 95, and that Pete Rose interview was one of the worst moments in sports broadcasting history.

The whole lead up to "the decision" was nauseating and a complete disaster. It wasn't actually LeBron's idea either. It was Jim Gray who pushed it to LeBron's camp. Not joking.

I feel bad in retrospect for being so angry at LeBron when the "real enemy" was Jim Gray all along. The comic sans letter should have been directed at his goofy rear end, not LeBron's.

If we ever do a tourney of bad sports broadcasters? He'd be the name of one of the brackets or the name of the trophy. gently caress that guy.

For the 5 people under 60 who watch boxing regularly Jim actually has some pretty decent post fight interview moments. Light years better than Max Kellerman.

I'll concede that Jim Gray runs miles around Kellerman's interviews in the boxing circuit, but goddamned was he an annoying troll back when he was with NBC and they had the NFL-AFC package CBS possesses now. He was trying so desperately to be the NBC darling while a kid named Costas was still moving up in rank.

Gray never came off as sincere... just a prick.

At the very least, when NBC lost the AFC package we no longer had to endure Randy Cross either. It was a fair trade.

We did though.

He called Browns games all the time during the early 2000's.

NBC was a poo poo ton better in covering the AFC then CBS. God good, gently caress Phil Simms.

I like how Dennis Rodman comes across as the interview. Sincere, candid, honest. Gray keeps attacking him and acting like a dickhead.

Also, here's the Jim Gray interview with Dickerson

Yeah, He was a producer for the Score since like 2001 or something did B&B from like 07 to 2011 or so. Went to ATL in like 2012 or so, and just recently came back to host the midday show in early 2015.
