Yes, Magic was a lousy analyst. But why all the love for Bill Simmons? While his columns can be entertaining, especially the pop culture references, his television presence is very weak. I much prefer listening to the likes of Tim Legler or Greg Anthony, guys who really understand the game, and actually speak logically. Ernie Johnson is a much better moderator than Simmons. Simmons lacks credibility as an analyst, and presence as a tv personality. Again, I think his columns are good, but is a lightweight in front of the camera. Think again, ESPN.
