Pure gold. Kilborn didn’t have the longevity on ESPN but was IMHO the most talented anchor ever. Legend.

[@merickz78]

Killborn was the greatest SC anchor of all time imo. I wish he still did it

[@NEONOIRERA]

erick m I agree

Better than Stuart Scott ? Naw

[@sioelilaupati8666]

Craig Kilborn GOAT 🐐

[@MeMe-yp6nw]

Kilborn and Stewart Scott were the best “Jumanji !!”

[@CoreyT127]

Those mid 90s Uconn teams were so good!

[@dannyocean7090]

that Carolina team had wallace, Stackhouse and vince carter. it was a pleasure watching those dudes play for those few years

[@CoreyT127]

No Vince carter. Him and Jameson played 95-96 til 97-98!

[@sioelilaupati8666]

This Is Gold

[@craigshetterly]

Tony Tony Tony does it again, and it feels good. 😂

[@alanvallazza9781]

I only recall Killborn from The Daily Show and Late Late Show but he was from my area somewhere in Kansas City. Lisa Kerney also from the KC area and she was at ESPN 2012 to 2018. And Jonathan Coachman is from Kansas and once worked in Kansas City as well as in Wichita and in other markets in the midwest before going to WWE. He did ESPN roughly from 2011 to 2017.

[@Vic-Vega]

Kilby was an all-time great, but stop trying to make the Kansas/ESPN connection happen. It's not going to happen!

[@jessewright8930]

Seeing a young A.I and Rasheed is straight vintage !

[@metalbent9078]

Kilborn might not have been the best but was definitely my favorite.

[@chrisuncleahmad]

Lot of people forget that the Mississippi State team that made their Final Four run- most of that team had already made the Sweet 16 a year earlier.

[@tumbleweedconnection7906]

Yep. And both UMass and Kentucky made the elite 8 in 95 so of the final 4 teams in 96..2 made the elite 8 the year before and 1 made the sweet 16. The other, Syracuse should've knocked off defending champ Arkansas in 95 tourney but Lawrence Moten pulled a Chris Webber and called a timeout with his team out of timeouts.. leading to a technical foul and Arkansas win

[@Vic-Vega]

When you say "lots of people forget," these highlights are from 1995, my man...the vast majority of people never even knew this stuff to begin with.

[@Dutch_Rudder]

AI looking like a small child, had no chance against Stackhouse and that absolute beast, Sheed!

[@MarcusAurelius7777]

Kilborn glory days...

[@mistercool3859]

Serious question: Would you say that Craig Kilborn was the best looking guy in the world at one point?

[@MichaelMolash]

5:47 - Release Rotation Splash

[@NOEQUALibrium]

I was talking to someone how we used to say this in the 90’s and couldn’t remember who it was. Google searched it and then your comment made it easy to find! Lol! Thank you.

[@MichaelMolash]

@@NOEQUALibrium Nice.

[@chrisuncleahmad]

Wait, Tyus Edney can pass?

[@dannyocean7090]

tyus edney was good as well as Charles and ed O'Bannon... wish the O'Bannon bros would've done better in the nba

[@damienkirksey7026]

RIP John Thompson

People forget the Dailey Show with Jon Stewart was originally the Dailey Show with Craig Kilborn !He was to conservative for them and they went 180○ the opposite way !

[@cityhawk]

Well, Craig was developing a bad reputation of talking behind the guests’s backs. It wasn’t his so-called “conservatism” that torpedoed Craig’s career, it was the fact that he was developing a terrible reputation. Peter Lassally (the former executive producer of the Late Late Show) couldn’t stand Kilborn. He felt that he wasn’t working hard enough at the craft and was too narcissistic for the role. Kind of the same criticisms Chevy Chase got with his show. Even though Craig can be funny at times, he was a terrible interviewer, got lazy at times, and couldn’t ad-lib to save his life. The qualities Kilborn didn’t have, Jon Stewart and Craig Ferguson had them in plenty. When both of your successors are more remembered and beloved than you, that’s never a good sign. Kilborn hasn’t been missed to be honest with you.

[@Vic-Vega]

@@cityhawk Did you just say Kilborn "couldn't ad-lib to save his life?" Like, THE Craig Kilborn...who ad-libbed on overnight Sportscenters for years? And really, dude, Craig Ferguson??? No one will ever remember that buffoon, please get real. 😅😂🤣

[@Nhamp2000]

@@Vic-Vega There's a difference between ad-libbing at the water cooler and cutting your teeth as a stand-up. Bad ad-lib on ESPN? The director talks to you. In front of a live audience? You get booed off stage.

[@Nhamp2000]

@@cityhawk Not to mention that he thought TDS was a stepping stone to a network late night hosting gig, which was the holy grail at that time. CBS basically forced Tom Snyder out the door to get Kilborn because he was so "hip". Jon Stewart changed television and Kilborn faded as a footnotes and you're right, he wasn't missed.

[@Vic-Vega]

@@Nhamp2000Kilborn >>> Stewart. Far funnier, and WAY less political. A win-win for all of us non-cucks in the audience. 😏

Welp, it takes all kinds to make the world go 'round, doesn't it? Even idiots...

[@charlesdjones1]

Shid I'd take Craig any day over Steven A. Smifff and the rest of those commie clowns they have today. Not even a shell of its former self in 2022. Sportscenter used to be a religion in my house 7 days a week.
