He's definitely a different type of analyst...I can't make up my mind if I like him or can't stand him...one minute he's cockier than Bill Walton the next he's complimentary as Rick Sutcliffe....

he's different! :digit:

He hasn't learned to shut his trap once in awhile....its annoying as hell. His voice isn't bad, its just that he's so nervous he thinks he has to talk ALL THE TIME.

He's not afraid to speak his mind though...strange trio tonight, Stockton, Thompson and King Rex.

he's got a good voice, makes some good points, but needs to work on sounding more natural or making his points more concise

John Thompson has a lousy voice I don't care what kind of resume he has, he is annoying to listen to he sounds like he has a mouth full of marbles

He sucks and so does Thompson. Neither as bad as Fred Carter on NBA tv's coverage though. That dude is painful to listen to.

LMAO Fred Carter is bad!

I don't like Thompson either...he's a racist to boot.

glad you pinted that out, although he is not as bad a racist when he is doing commentary on a game, but still he does not have the voice for TV or radio for that matter


I just changed my mind on Chapman - with that MVP racist crap he brought up at the end of the game, it was out of left field and he didn't even know what point he was trying to make

I think that he was a much better player than he is commentator. And that isnt saying much.

Didn't Chapman have one freak game where he hit 10 3 pointers or scored 40 points or something in a game for the Suns (or the Bullets?)

He has a remarkable 3 point shot he made to send a game to overtime, their was like no time left, the bal was thrown across court ad all in one motion Rex gathered the ball and fired a deep three , nothing but Nylon!

I think they lost in overtime though...incredible play!

Chapman could shoot

dude also had a 39 inch vertical leap!?!

1996-1997 REGULAR SEASON
Chapman played in 65 games, making 33 starts, in his first season with the Phoenix Suns and averaged 13.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists. He missed the month of February due to a fractured right index finger and the Suns were 6-8 in his absence, but they posted a 19-6 finish upon his return. He scored in double figures in 46 games, including each of his last 24, and tallied a season-high 32 points in a 105-103 loss at Atlanta on Jan. 7. He twice had games with six three-pointers, shooting 6-for-11 from behind the arc against Toronto on March 11 and 6-for-10 against Seattle on March 30. A backcourtman for his entire NBA career, Suns Coach Danny Ainge frequently used Chapman at the small forward position in a three-guard alignment with Kevin Johnson and Jason Kidd. Chapman started the final 14 games of the season at that position and the Suns went 11-3, then he enjoyed success at that spot in the playoff series against Seattle. Chapman started all five games against the Sonics and averaged a team-high 24.2 points, shooting a blistering .458 from three-point range on 22-for-48. He poured in 42 points, including a playoff-record nine three-pointers, in the Suns' 106-101 victory at Seattle in Game 1.

Exactly, where the hell did that come from. Totally illogical time to bring it up.

KIng rex is not a racist he married his high scholl sweetheart a black chcick.


I think Thompson is the one we referred to as being racist.

Chapman just brought up the MVP possibly being race-related and then fumbled over what he was trying to say.

If his wife is black, maybe that is why he was thinking about it? regardless it didn't make sense to bring it up with a minute left in the game it had nothing to do with the Spurs or Sonics

the 3 point shooters suck as nba analysts. Kerr, Legler, and now Chapman. What's next? Jeff Hornacek and Detlef schrempf doing the halftime shows?
