It seems like an extremely long time ago that David Aldridge was on ESPN. He almost seems the exact opposite of what the network wants out of its NBA coverage.

Aldridge seems to have little love lost for his old employer, but he'd doing all right for himself over at TBS and TNT. (We always forget that he does sideline reporting — or whatever they call it in baseball — for the network's MLB coverage.)

We also enjoyed this Starting Five interview.

So: Do you like the David Aldridge? Do you not like the David Aldridge? Yep.
