I've been all over the net looking for info on this guy since he dropped 55 on Golden State. I have GOT to see him play in person after that. So kudos for being one of the best articles out there to bring me up to speed on the Brandon Jennnings Story. One criticism that I have, though, is with your broken link at the end of your article. I was all anxious to see basis for the point that you were making about in the following quote, "History has shown that being the consensus top player in your High School class leads to great things." I picked the link and it didn't work. Please get that fixed. Thanks, Black Great Article. I’ve been all over the net looking for info on this guy since he dropped 55 on Golden State.

I agree that ESPN played a part in all this. There should have never been a doubt this guy was going to be a very good NBA player. I am surprised it's happened so soon, but he shouldn't have been seen as a risky pick. Very interesting take. I agree that ESPN played a part in all this.

I first started to get really annoyed by the network several years ago with their draft coverage. Every time the Packers would pick, it would go to commercial! They only did a couple commercial breaks in the entire first round back that would last over 10 minutes per break, and the whole time was spent during the Packer pick. I put up with countless discussion of the Lions being back and all other kinds of crap, while I only got a couple of minutes out of 7 hours on the Packers. Any analysis that was given was centered around Kiper shouting at the tv with all of the 40 yard dash stats he could throw, and Berman trying to make nickname jokes. Good God. Thank god for the NFL network, they break down why guys will fit into certain schemes or struggle with a transition to the NFL. You know, actually give you analysis that couldn't just be read off of a combine report. I agree that the “ego” thing has become a big problem at ESPN.

I mean I will watch some of the sports shows just to see what is going on and what the top story lines are. Shows like First Take and Sports Nation, but otherwise... the analysts and their "ego" seem to get in the way of actually providing great insight and facts for the "fan." That's why I love reading online blogs and publications because they are for the fan. Glad to have come across your site here. Keep it up! I totally agree.

As a young sportfan, I loved ESPN. Waking up to sportscenter was great. But in recent years I find myself more and more annoyed by their arrogance and even their quality of coverage. I now go elsewhere if I can to get any unbiased reporting. I appreciate the thoughts.

As far as the trash talking in workouts, the kid is a young gun and is trying to make his name in this league as a premiere PG. Let the kid play the game and watch his play on the court.
