As an announcer for ANYTHING, Mike Tirico is the WORST. He tries his best to sound all dramatic, but he falls flat on his face. I really hate this guy.
Also what is too much is the fact that Tirico does the Conf. Finals and NBA Finals on ESPN radio when he never NBA pxp on the radio during the regular season and the early postseason. Jim Durham does most of the NBA on ESPN Radio, then the NBA Finals is handed over to Tirico. Durham isn't too old, he's been doing NBA since the early 70s (Dr.Jack Ramsay is old). It should be Durham and Hubie Brown doing the NBA Finals on ESPN Radio. Tirico has been doing pxp for ESPN Radio NBA since 2006!
I initially thought that Stanley was Dave Pasch, the guy who does play-by-play for ESPN and the Arizona Cardinals. That would have been awesome to see the two Syracuse grads Pasch and Tirico in the commercial.
I think Tirico is an okay broadcaster. I wish he would just stay in the studio and do occasional play-by-play, like Mark Jones does now, for the NBA. I think being the #2 NBA TV broadcaster on ABC is a bit too much.
And this is why ou don't have this guy call the games for NBA Finals on TV

Mike is ok but in this commercial he didn't speed away quick enough before Stanley hopped in.

People that have commercials of them acting like NERDS are the most dangerous; I hate that fake stuff.

At 12-14 seconds, you can see the back of me walking into the airport! I was an extra! :)

I'd rather hear Musburger on the radio than Tirico, who has gotten almost all of his play-by-play experience through ESPN.
I think ESPN/ABC think that Mike Breen and Mike Tirioc are the Vin Scully and Bob Costas for the NBA. Not even close.
