Who is your favorite game announcer?

Just out of curiosity, who is your favorite game announcer? Least favorite?

I have a few favorites... Tommy Heinshon and Mike Fratello (when he announced)... no least favs that I can think of.

who is the Clipper's announce who always yells 'bingo' when someone makes a shot. Is that Ralph Lawler? Whoever he is, his constant prodding towards the other commentator is hilarious...

Edit:

With a bit of research, i found that it is Lawler.. funny guy :)

I ABSOLUTELY HATE: Doug Collins (you can't go one game without him mentioning that he coached Michael or Grant Hill or someone), the Clips' announcers Ralph Lawler & Mike Smith (who believes he is important because he played a few games for the Clips in the 80s), and of course, Bill Walton.

I like: Chick Hearn! (R.I.P.) and Hubie Brown.

I used to like the guys that used to commentate for NBA on NBC till NBA signed with ABC, TNT etc.

I think one of em was Bob Costa? Something like that.

the best:
Chick Hearn; Kevin Harlan & Doug Collins; Marv Albert & Steve Kerr

the worst:
Marv Albert's partner on the YES! network when he commentates for the network during Nets games. if Marv's punchline is "yes!", then his partners' must be "You live with those results" since he says like a million times whenever i see Nets games telecasted on YES!

Bob Costas (unfortunately I missed the Jordan years of the NBA and his playcalling on NBC)

and of course Marv

I rarely watch basketball on TV so most of my picks go to radio

Gus Johnson - WEPN ESPN 1050 radio broadcaster for New York Knicks
George Blaha - WDFN Detroit Pistons play by play man
Joel Meyers - LA Lakers TV play by play
Bill Schoening (sp) - Spurs radio play by play
