At least it is better than Rucker's crap

That was good

I appreciate Homicide's enthusiasm about the league.

Homicide in fine form Lol

Goodish...I will watch more.

Haven't watched it and don't plan to, but from the looks of it this is the sort of thing he should be doing instead of commentary.

He basically just talks BS to try and get a reaction or shock people.

Shows little knowledge for the game and flip flops on his opinion trying to get a reaction or what will cause controversy.

Hopefully he flames out and the NBL get a bit more of a professional outlook and move him on.

Koberulz hates Homicide so much he has promised to boycott the grand final series - from memory it is the first NBL GF series he hasn't watched in 50 years

You are right, that Liam Santamaria just talks BS to try and get a reaction or shock people :-)

Unfortunately those with little tolerance for Corey have to accept he is (almost) on the money when he notes there are few platforms available to discuss NBL (he says we don't have a platform which is not correct, but options are few, so credit to him for attempting to change the landscape).

Fortunately we are not forced to endure Corey's opinions every day and every time you watch basketball. Choice is a wonderful thing and you have the luxury of being able to implement it. However, Corey's presence is going to be unavoidable until the NBL and its followers put more effort into providing alternative platforms.

Corey is awesome all the haters here should be banned from this forum.

Has taken a look at what Steven A Smith and Colin Cowherd do in the USA and has brought that here to Australia.

Over hyped opinion that if you throw enough different speculation out there something might stick, or starting rumours to try and turn heads. this is just the shock jock for the sports world I don't have much time for hyperthical BS when I'd rather watch the games - but there is a reason why womens weekly still sells well, people like it and people will like this, just not me.

BUT! Good on them for trying something different and breaking some new ground the league more talk on hoops is only better for hoops!

The difference is Stephen A Smith doesn't do color commentary. I doubt he's even referenced. Williams's presence is unavoidable even on games he's not calling.

I'd have zero problem with him on a panel show or half time show.

His presence is avoidable, it's called the mute button.
Personally I like him, no doubt he is being controversial and stirring up passionate debate. I can’t see any problem with that.

I wonder what happens if Adelaide wins.. does he take his shirt off and run around the arena like he did when his Crocs eliminated the Wildcats from the playoffs a few years ago?

He has history with the Perth fans and is without doubt enjoying his chance to stir the pot.

But let’s be honest- this Adelaide team is no joke and everything he says about them is right on the money.

You couldn't have 2 of him, but I like him.

It's fantastic that he's genuinely enthused about our league. He's doing a great job.

He'll be around for a while i would have thought.

The mute button really kills games, unfortunately. In games he's commentating, I mute the majority of it but wish I could still get the court/crowd sounds and other commentary. I'm with KR - by all means have him on an NBL panel show and leave him to run his own podcast/whatever, but I don't enjoy him commentating games.

Last time this came up people suggested muting him, and the very next game I watched there was no scoreboard on the screen for five consecutive minutes.

LOL at Koberulz openly admitting his ignorance. What a useless forum member he is

I'm not sure Williams is emulating Smith. I think it's his own personality, which has a lot in common with other shock jocks.
