He's more mild mannered than a lot of talking heads, so if he was on Get Up, Speak for Yourself, or Undisputed, he'd probably get lost in the shuffle. Nick does a lot of interrupting, but for the most part he and Brou do good job of giving him room to operate.

Except Wildes take is terrible. The Lakers aren’t like Tiger at the masters. Tiger currently is just a shiny trophy that’s shown off that has 0% chance to win anything major while the Lakers were one series away from the finals.
