If anybody wants me to talk smack to him let me know.

I do.

Damn, he was actually a good analyst. Now we'll have to deal with the likes of Chris Palmer.

This is a super cool story. Hollinger is the interesting analyst who combines data with personal observation -- he definitely knows basketball, not just the stats. For another wrinkle, no media pundit exclusively has ever crossed over to the big leagues that I know of. I like both the chance both the Grizzlies and Hollinger are taking on this. But it will be very interesting to see how it turns out.

Too bad. Liked his analysis.. now it'll be another ppv on some strange site.

I suspect ESPN owns the formula's/programs. I expect they will just keep running.

will they rename it.
lets face it isn't it a conflict of interest so to speak.
when you see hollinger power ranking with grizlies on top.

he got a lot of flack a few years back for being bias

 

[DutchJazzer]

or will they simply rename it

 

[Beantown]

My guess is it will be called. Stephen A Smith's power rankings...

Anything from ESPN is suspect. Their insider articles are often just terrible.
