That sucks for the tourney bc he is perfect for it IMO. Time to bring him back Jimmy boy!
Man just imagine, when Melo has a "game 2" like performance and/or Amare is dunking on opponents, listening to Gus go wild would be soo awesome to hear again.

my fault. Didn't realize this is old news
The story was posted today. This is news to me.
Gus Johnson is great. I cant blame the guy for getting his money.
MSG used to have Kenny "The Jet" Smith who was also solid. Then MSG got super cheap.
Mike Breen is annoying on MSG AND ESPN.

I know. The article I linked with some of his calls was old and it confused me.
love gus, breen is such a die hard knick fan, yet you wouldn't know it cuase he doesn't call the game like a homer.

This is a bad thing?
Gus Johnson sucks. The guy is an Isiah nut hugger and overcalls everything.

Seems like the common theme, ya either love em or hate em.
Personally I liked his over-the-top calls and love for NY born players.
hated that he got axed by MSG but I do enjoy him as a boxing commentator for HBO

Not half as annoying as Clyde, that monotone, codeine-sleepy style drives me nuts. Get some uppers, dude.

Walt is not even close to how bad some of these other x players sound doing a game.
A few of the worse...sean elliot...reggie miller...clyde drexler.. d wilkens...
Mark jackson is probably the best at it...as far as being an x player..he's pretty acurate, inteligent, funny, and doesn't act like his audience is 10 year olds..
I love it when he called one our play off games aginst boston (when anythony carter lead the comeback)..and while going to a comercial..said..MDA has finally turned on the AC...good stuff..
Well when you're overrated, scream like a bish, and think more of yourself than necessary this is what happens. That relationship didn't last long at all. I think CBS realized they don't need anyone to take away from their games as they have been welcoming and bringing aboard many quality call guys. Dude is a fairy....
ALWAYS AND FOREVER AMEN

Dude did you read the article? It is all about money. CBS didn't fire him. He is in negotiation with Fox. Obviously he isn't leaving CBS for less money.

He was recently given a promotion by them(2-3yrs ago) and yes this happens all the time lead anchors/color guys trying to renew relationships..... CBS doesn't care this time as they shouldn't. Dude is thirsty and going after other gigs. He thinks he's DAT DUDE but he's not
HA HAAAAAAAA.....PURE
<----------lol
EDIT: My bad he may get that Fox deal if his thirst is quenched but he has been turned down already for a gig he went after....in favor of Nessler(who is one of many better than him)
Gus Johnson is one of the most entertaining announcers in the business. He makes you feel like you are at the game.
Gus Johnson has his own niche like Steven A Smith. Either you love him or hate him. Regardless he is still cashing checks.
