    Wow. He’s the best basketball commentator they ever had. Interested to hear the scuttlebutt. I’m sure JVG will have plenty of options. Hope he stays in Houston.

    Noo. I loved him as an analyst. Much better than any other color commentator.

    Why TF did ESPN fire JVG?

    Ferntits has an opportunity here to win me over: hire JVG to do the
    color for our game broadcasts. I see him being for us what my main man Clyde is to the lowly Knicks.

    I am sure he is the most expensive, maybe TNT will pick him up.

    I'd take JVG even if he only wants to do home games. Hollins can be the road guy and 3rd man on home games. Or we can fire Hollins because we never should have hired him in the first place and he's the worst color commentator in the NBA.

    The Rockets should make him Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations.

    Good. He was annoying during the Lakers vs Nuggets series.
