I'm interested in him comparing Mike D'antoni with Byron Scott.

That wouldn't be to hard for him..... MDA ran Jamison to the ground... and ruined his confidence..... I bet he wishes he could have played this year under Scott were he had a good year playing for him in Clev.

I think Randle can add elements of Worthy & Jamison's game to his own as a quick SF/PF. Hope they give him some pointers on the side.

Cool. But couldn't they get someone with more Laker ties than Jamison?

His only real ties to this team are the distinction of being the only player in NBA history to put up a 51 point effort in the same game as a Kobe Bryant 51 point effort. Pretty cool =)

He's a good speaker. I'd rather TWC hires people with loose Laker ties and broadcasting potential than diehard Lakers who give us boring analysis.

This may by Twan's greatest contribution as a Laker. I'm a Tar Heel fan so I like all these ex-Tar Heels around the Lakers (Mitch, Davis, Ellington, Twan, etc.).

I remember reading before about him going to LA, far away from his family, is difficult and yet he had to do it in pursuit of a ring. He must have grown to like LA since then.

I've watched 2 interviews of his, all I hear is "uh". How is he a good speaker? To be a good analyst imo you have to have a nice unique voice, I don't hear that either. This is just a guy, cheap hire, to replace walton. No broadcast experience either. Like beto duran on TWC deportes, terrible

also his voice sounds pretty boring, so gear up for boring analysis

Like Norm Nixon.

Wonder what Jack Haley is doing these days. I thought he was a good halftime/postgame analyst.

They have to replace Byron and Luke and hopefully they fired Horry or at least will give us subtitles when he is on so we can understand what he is saying

Ironic considering the terms he left the Lakers on. But that seemed to be issues with MDA, not the org.

In any case, looking forward to his analysis. He's a smart guy.

It's cause he can't stand Mike D'Antoni.

Jamison is one of my favorite players of all-time. Consummate professional. Silky smooth jumper. Great quickness and able to beat his man off the dribble. Excellent court vision. Lockdown defender. Unparalleled footwork. Dwight Howard-esque athleticism.

I'd rank him right below KG on the all-time PFs list. Easily a first-round ballot HOFer.

My only question is: What if he encountered a mouse?

Horry had/has good game insight he's just hard to listen to (for me) because his diction is problematic.
