With Chris Webber not getting a contract for next year as a commentator, this means that both Webber and Albert will be gone from NBA broadcasting next season onwards.
I see nothing but good things from this.

That's before we even get to his commentary which has been appalling for years now. Can't keep any of the players on the court straight, doesn't know who plays for most teams, very rarely has any idea what's going on.Quote:

Man I was hoping we would be talking about who we would play in the playoffs not Perv Albert. It is what it is I guess. Fix it now Griff.
