Tuesday night's NBA TV show, hosted by Ahmad Rashad and featuring Chris Webber and Gary Payton, wasn't as good as the TNT version with Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith, and Charles Barkley in terms of pure basketball analysis. But in terms of pure comedy, that Tuesday show was solid gold. And now, it's over.
Kevin McHale has been hired to replace Gary Payton in the studio, and while I think McHale will do just fine as an analyst, there's no way he'll have the same chemistry with Webber that Payton did. With the show obviously looking to get a little more serious, here's a reminder of some of the antics that made it so much fun to watch.

C'mon NBATV! McHale? Really?
Just as a black guy joining an all white show doesn`t automatically ruin it, a white guy joining an all black show doesn`t automatically ruin it, either. What they may lose in good ole boy, all in the same closet together, charm, they may make up for, having a former Nba GM, in more basketball insight.
Oh this sucks, The Glove was HILLARIOUS!
Ignorant, but HILLARIOUS!
I don't know how their chemistry will work out as a group, but I can tell you that as an individual, McHale is quite a witty jokester.
Sounds like Brett Pollakoff is a big time racist.
Sorry, G.P. was irritating. Loved him as a player, but that does'nt translate into a good announcer. I don't know too much about Kevin Mchale, but definitely a change had to be made.
McHale will be as boring as he looks, but at least he'll be able to speak some language resonably discernible to the general public, which Payton could not. Surely there's somebody funny and articulate out there?
