ESPN’s NBA coverage somehow keeps getting worse.
On Sunday afternoon, ESPN was in charge of broadcasting the Knicks–Pacers game 7, and they received immediate backlash for being biased against the Knicks.
If that wasn't enough, viewers also got a Stephen A. Smith pep talk directed to the Knicks, which was a bunch of shouting and knocking off Spike Lee's hat.

Things somehow didn’t get better during the halftime show when former Golden State Warriors executive Bob Myers gave some absolutely terrible analysis of what was happening in the game.
According to Myers, the Knicks suffered a huge psychological blow when OG Anunoby could only play for five minutes in the game due to injury.

Considering that TNT is reportedly about to lose its beloved NBA halftime show, fans have blasted Myers’ halftime analysis.
At some point, the NBA has to at least consider having the regionals do alt casts. This is an embarrassment. https://t.co/HrwrdMxzYF

It’s unclear if ESPN will bring back Myers next year with how bad the reception to his TV coverage has been.
