Comedy commentary broadcast team in the NBL?

I was just watching UCLA v Oregen on ESPN and was listening to the commentary team of Bill Walton and the other guy (can't remember his name) and I found them quite funny.

I was thinking would a comedy commentary broadcast team on Fox Sports and nbl.tv for the NBL, help with ratings, subscriptions and viewers?

Who would you pick to do it?

First pick would be Ronny Cheng. He loves bball and would be passionate about it.

I'd worry anyone else they would pick for this wouldn't respect the sport enough and there would be many cringe-worthy moments.

Cam Tragardh tries to be the Honey Badger, who is also completely unfunny.

lol Tragardh should not be allowed anywhere near the broadcast wtf were they thinking.

For ex-players the one funny guy over the years was Matt Smith doing colour at Taipans games on the original NBL TV.

I think id prefer listening to Brad Rosen over Cam Tragardh. If there was a game featuring Rosen, Carfino and Trigger I would switch it off immediately. No game would be worth listening to that!

No to Ronny Cheng. Makes Trevor Gleeson look like a top bloke.

Some of the NBL commentators use some very lame and strange turns of phrase. I remember Liam Santamaria commentating a game and he kept saying shit like "don't hurt them like that, Cammy Gliddon" and "That's money for jam!" I don't ever want to cringe that hard again in my life.

ME love it, sad but true. Why are Aussie commentators so lame?

Heal is one of the worst with his love for words like "trifecta", "cheapie" and exclaiming "wowwee!" SERIOUSLY WTF!!! It's as if he is from a non-basketball background. WTF is wowwee isn't that something from the 1950s? hahahaha so cringeworthy
