RIP. I didnt know it was him who did play-by-play(I hated his voice in those games anyway, too boring). Looks like you beat Mafia to it.

I remember him from Live 2000 till 2003, his voice was alright, it wasn't Marv & The Czar but it was better than having no voice at all.

First Chick, now him... :cry:

RIP guys.

Time to remember him from Live 2000 on N64.

"Hi I'm Don Poier and Welcome to the STAPLES Center for tonights game!"

DAMN! Then when you banked a three he would scream "YES!" "GOT ITTTTT!!" and when you missed it would be "MISSES THE LAYUP!" "MISSESSSSSSSSS!!!!"


Rest In Peace. Don Poier. :(

Even though I had numerous posts in "NBA Live Wishlist" containing the some combination of the words "GET RID OF DON POIER", it's still sad to see him go...

Ummmm......... I think I am thinking of an earlier commentator :? Live 98 I think. Anyways, whoever it is he commentates the golf in Happy Gilmore as well. Maybe not Don Poier I guess? :?
