He was doing MMA for a while too... though UFC has it's team. K1 and PRIDE aren't very big in the States, so boxing is a logical progression

Though I will think of gus as a NCAA announcer first and foremost

Though, I don't remember this much love for Gus... guess most don't know what they got til it's gone

Doesn't he do the games on the radio? He probably gets paid really well for the side gigs so he doesn't do the backup on tv all that often.

B/c Gus was away doing the boxing. He still has the regular gig unless something has changed recently.

Gus like to call everything...he calls everything well in my opinion...and you always want to hear him call a game/match when something amazing happens...nobody gets more excited that Gus Johnson...he captures the fans excitement and just blows it up!!!

I couldnt agree more. I think Gus Johnson is the best bball play by play man in the entire country. The guy loves his job and it shows. We should dump Breen and make our main broadcast team Gus and Clyde. Even if we continue to suck atleast the games will be fun to listen to.

You know, I like Gus Johnson a lot. He has a lot of skills as a broadcaster. I LOVE how he's so descriptive of the action, which is why I think he's better off on the radio. He does a great job painting a picture and his enthusiasm leaves you thirsty to see the game.

However, he goes way overboard a lot and that can be pretty annoying. It just doesn't seem realistic when he blows his load when someone hits four threes in a row.

PS: Spike Lee is probably the most overrated fan ever.

I think MSG doesnt pay enough to announce games. Kenny Smith left now Gus Johnson. Mike Breen has improved but the other guys suck except for Frazier.

Personally, I have to turn the tv to mute when Gus is calling a game.
