While it’s always a big deal for any team to have a nationally televised game, Brooklyn Nets fans don’t need their team to be on ESPN or TNT to get a top-flight broadcast.
Whether it’s Ian Eagle or Ryan Ruocco on play-by-play, YES Network always has a compelling voice to take fans through the big moments.
Then there’s Sarah Kustok and Richard Jefferson, who provide great insight and offer additional entertainment as solo analysts, but also manage to kick things up a notch when they’re working side-by-side as part of a three-announcer show.
Of course, Michael Grady is courtside, as well. But for the sake of Awful Announcing’s 2019-20 local NBA announcer rankings, courtside reporters were not factored in.
After tallying the votes from readers, Awful Announcing listed the team of announcers on YES’s broadcast of Nets games as the top NBA local broadcast.
Voters were able to give letter grades from A to F. The YES team’s most popular grade was an A (72.73%), edging out the New York Knicks’ broadcast team by 2.58%.
