ESPN's Brad Daugherty Promos NBA Playoff Game As "Paul Pierce & The Celtics Vs. LeBron James & The Officials"
ESPN analyst Brad Daugherty is one of the network's best NASCAR minds, but it was in basketball that he originally made his fortune. Thus, the NASCAR Countdown studio crew handing the reins for the promo reader of tomorrow night's Eastern Conference Finals game over to Daugherty was probably obvious. What they weren't expecting, it seems, is for Daugherty to editorialize the copy, describing the matchup as "Paul Pierce and the Celtics against LeBron James and the officials." Just a bored analyst having some fun? Or is the former Cavs stars still sore at LeBron for The Decision? [ESPN]
