Tom Tolbert is a bay area radio legend. One of my favs growin up

@@briankawatson3676 he would once in awhile get switched over to jordan. Literally its colins second question. Its not Michael's fault he killed everyone he faced. But he had competition. They just all got dinged because he slayed dragons. The narrative of weak competion is hilarious. 39 year old mj was taking it to MVP KEVIN GARNETT in his prime. Get out of here with that narrative.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

I always loved Tom as an analyst with the NBA on NBC. He's not a big star or name so he didn't stick around, but his analysis was great.

[@franciscocolin2008]

NBC was the Mecca of sports broadcasting, they got it right. Unlike ESPN nowadays, they just get the popular players and assume they know it all.

[@sjaykay9884]

Damn the documentary got them digging up everybody to give MJ stories

[@joedy3957]

Favorite Tom Tolbert moment from wayyyyy back in the early 2000s. reporter in stadium: So here right next to me is this HD TV showing how amazing the new NBA HD broadcast looks like. Tom Tolbert: you realize that people at home watching this with regular TVs can’t tell the difference. Reporter: ummm.

That run tmc golden state team of the 90s would have run the league today

[@chasingfelix3609]

MrJonnyl123 30 years...30 years...you really believe that in 30 years nothing has improved. So by that logic, the 60s teams would destroy the 90s guys? Or do you have no childhood attachment to the 60s so the logic doesn’t carry?

[@slangtang6671]

sacrofice d let them hold on to the past.... you making a pointless argument its emotions over logic

[@MrJonnyl123]

Stfo many of the players from the 90s were just as athletic some more (jordan, nique, kemp etc) then the players today

[@MrJonnyl123]

U got fat bums like Harden getting cheap points today

Sammy B. That is the reason I can’t get on board with ppl saying lebron is the goat. He’ll never reach that status for that reason alone. GOATs don’t take nights off.

[@Bodhi594]

Tom Tolbert had a hilarious story about his time at U of A on the Jim Rome show back in the early 2000's. It was about a guy who would bribe college bball players by taking crank shots with players while they were sleeping. He would show his own crank near their sleeping heads and take a photo. The way Tolbert told the story made it really funny. I believe they called the guy Dr. Boodrow?? Anybody remember that?

[@howardkoor2796]
