bad nba broadcast

espn used to do a pretty good job on the nba, but last night's LAL at MIA game was so bad, it deserves some smack talk.

There was a lot of Mark Jackson kissing Kobe's ass, then Lebron's. Oh yeah, Wade's assed also got kissed a lot.

Something Kobe said that I didn't particularly liked was when he revealed that he talked to Wade the day before the match. This was concurred by Wade, who said they have a brotherly, special bond because of the Olympics.

Too bad these guys don't hate each other like Shaq and Kobe.

The obvious complaints are the unnecessary blips and swooshes, odd sounds that are completely annoying and ear piercing. Too many missed plays due to predictable long close up of "player who scored shot" when the other team just used less than 4 seconds to score on their own.

My main rule with NBA broadcasts are, "Leave the camera on one angle and leave it at that for the whole entire game, unless there is some kind of important reason to leave center court, ala if Ron Artest gets into a fight with a fan moment."
