The only unbiased analyst at ESPN without an agenda. He doesn't see color and ALWAYS gives credit to the players who deserve it. Legler is ESPN's realest asset.

[jamesthereaper]

ANT with the clutch 3 to cut to deficit to just 27!

[TjVarona]

Tim Legler is the best NBA analyst out there. If I’m betting he is the only analyst that I will listen to.

[AmMadMan]

Legler the only one who told everyone mavs was a dangerous team since the beginning of the playoffs, more people like him on TV please

[Big_AL_Nowitzki]

Give legler a raise. Best ESPN analyst at the moment the rest of them are sheep or are too scared to even give a prediction like windy

[moderndancingfool]

Imagine being PJ Washington or Daniel Gafford & thinking on where they started the season and then coming to the Mavs, being valuable assets to their success & now being in the Finals.

[vp]

Love legler, the only true anaylyst who understands the game and supported mavs since the beginning and saw their potential unlike majority of media being a flip flopping clowns

[lw]

Tim Legler is the only analyst who believed in the Mavs since the begining with facts, stats, analysis.
No bias, no flip-flop takes, just basketball.

[DFW]

GIVE LEGLER A RAISE AND MORE TV TIME!! ONLY PERSON WHO GIVES LUKA AND MAVS CREDIT!

HE CALLED IT SINCE THE DEADLINE.

[kendrickbarrett]

Kyrie had 36 Luka had 36 they both put on a show the whole team balling🔥

[dontaeshepard]

Soon as I saw how Luka came out first quarter I knew this was Game 7 vs Suns all over again 😂😂

[ChickenOfTheCaveMan]

SAS would've voted for Ant for WCF MVP

[sohambanerjee]

Thanks for actually doing your job of ANALYZING basketball Tim - you are a treasure in world full of screamers and hot take artists!

[Muyiwa]

Can ESPN please promote this kind of analysis more instead of Stephen A Smith. This is what it should be about, no “hot takes” or personal shots, just great unbiased analysis.

[kkiat]

GSW fan here. I'm rooting for Luka & Dallas Mavericks
Dallas 4-2 Boston

Snoop said: "nephew iz cold" 🥶😂☃️

[Mvproszn]

The Celtics have not played a nasty monster like the Mavericks. This is one of the finals where both teams are formidable. I'm very excited. I personally like the Mavericks.

[greganderson]

Shout out to J. Kidd. He's coaching his behind off and he's staying low key and letting the players get the shine.

[therodtriptv]

Timstradamus. Legs always knew Luka was the man.

[heihachichichan]

That slap from Naz Reid is pure criminal
