The NBA Northwest Division, consisting of only one team actually in the Northwest, contains broadcasters with plenty of experience both on and off the court. Four of the five color commentators featured in the division had lengthy careers in the NBA, and all of the play by play commentators have experience in a variety of sports. Also, Blazers analyst Mike Rice is the one NBA broadcaster to ever be ejected from a game. The more you know!
Give each broadcast crew a rating, and if you have strong opinions in either direction, let us know in the comments as we’ll use that feedback in the final rankings of the broadcast teams. For more on the series and what it’s all about, click here.
