Ill take John Thompson over Doug Collins. To me Collins is just not all that great on the M-I-C when it comes to keeping people interested in games. Also, he recycles what he says. This is not a joke. I am dead serious. One week he was the commentator for a Laker game, pointed plenty of things out. 2 weeks later they are covering the Lakers again and he repeat what he said the week before. Not touching on similar points but I kid you not, word for word. As if he was reading a script.
Also, one thing that bugs me about Walton and Collins is they always have to let you know they were in the league. Collins has to let you know he coached Michael Jordan at least once a game. He also must make it clear he was a coach for other teams then the Bulls. Walton EVERYONE KNOWS YOU WERE A BASKETBALL PLAYER!
