Stephan A at number 5. LOL. What a joke. I didn't read after that

That list is soooo victim of the moment, like most sports lists made today.

Sorry, I stopped reading with #2:

"Dick Vitale– Inviting, neighborly, energetic and inspiring"

Isn't he all those things?

Inviting? Inspiring?

Inviting? Inspiring?

By all accounts he’s an extremely approachable person in public, and he has inspired many people to donate to the V Foundation.

I mean if this list was made in 1994...

This exactly. Huge recency bias which makes less sense considering how irrelevant studio and highlight shows have become relative to the 80s and 90s.

And if you’re going to put Lebatard on a list like this ffs put him higher.

I've heard that, too...
I'm talking about his on-camera persona. I find him in love with the sound of his own voice.

Agree, you might not like his style but it's silly to discount his contribution to ESPN and college basketball in general.

I’m in the camp of not putting him on the list at all.
