Have you ever watched an NBA game, and just can’t ignore getting engaged in, also listening to the on-court commentary that is going on? I certainly have been unable to ignore that. After all, it is all part of the NBA experience. A good or bad commentary can change the entire experience of watching a game for anyone, especially for die-hard NBA fans who are well accustomed to the sport and want to hear some more expert opinion. If lapses occur on the commentators’ table, then those fans seldom shy away from making their criticism known. The same is happening now, as the playoff matchup between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Indiana Pacers recently concluded.
Back in October 2024, former NBA player Cory Alexander saw his role, and was asked to call regular-season NBA games on ESPN. Earlier, he used to call games only on ESPN Radio and the NBA Summer League. This continued on, and Alexander even started commentating on the ongoing Cavaliers-Pacers series as a color commentator.
Unfortunately, as the game progressed, it became apparent that the 51-year-old might not have been the best person to call the game. After all, reports started to come in that the former player was allegedly promoting the Cleveland Cavaliers too much. On top of that, he was siding with the referees’ decisions. He also came under attack for claiming that.
James Johnson will get real minutes in Game 4, even though the Pacers player played in only 12 games in the regular season, started in none, and averaged 3.1 points, 0.7 rebounds, and 0.5 assists.
Cory Alexander dug his grave with the color commentary, and people wanted to make that known to him.
NBA fans troll Cory Alexander over his role on the commentators table: “ most biased”
One social media user wrote “This has to be the most biased color commentator I have EVER heard. Worse than Doris Burke with the Knicks. @espn you are a JOKE.”
