Marv and the arena announcer can't pronounce his name, Fratello can....yet Marv did a lot of Spurs games on TNT this year, pretty weird. EA half-assed the arena announcer too. Imagine this, he still has the same recordings for Nowitzki, Jamison, Oyedeji, and Ginobili, all with the wrong pronunciation! Oyedeji is not pronounced "O-ja"!

He still can't pronounce Ostertag.

The arena announcer is awful.

Anyone have any others?

Oyedeji is pronounced OH-Jay but the arena anouncer has always been poor

The crowd should be so loud that you shouldn't be able to hear the court announcer right anyway... It really doesn't matter who he pronounces right and who not. Someone did them anyway and it's only humane to get some of them wrong.

Some of those names are really great like what's his name Zarko Rarbcraba or something like that. You pronounce that with a straight face and I'll have to give you some credit...

They only had 5 years to correct Dirk and Jamison!

How does he mention Antawn Jamison? I can't remember. I just don't know how you could get that wrong. If he said it An-TWAN...it is wrong. Antawn of course pronounces his name...An-TON. I think that is the way the announcer did it, but I can't remmeber. Is it? Believe me...I remember the day Antawn committed to the Heels! Great Day! GO HEELS !
