Yes he has, when he first got here he would talk crap all the time and would talk about his beloved Knicks. I even said to my self why do they have this idiot boxing announcer here talking about the Lakers. Everything Lakers was all twisted, as soon as he moved to Beverly Hills he changed his tune.

And like someone else mentioned, he's not man enough to ask Kobe direct. He'll say "we'll, some people will say you shoot too much. There are people that say you need to pass the ball more."

Why not just Come out and say it, Kobe would respect him more if he did.

i disagree with with some of your guys' points of criticism of M&M, but different strokes for different folks. that's why there's buttons on the radio for you to change it.

you know who is awful though? that 'jay from compton' guy they have spot-filling in everywhere. that guy is AWFUL. can't stand him, he's a constant contrarian just for the sake of being one.

the problem is the guys on 570 are even worse. They're like idiots from RealGM with a radio show... At least M&M are just disagreeable posters from our site.

At least he admits he's a Knicks guy and doesn't try to hide it.

Have you all heard of Jay from Compton? Some dude that comes on Nightside (after Max & Marcellus) from time to time.

Dude opens up every show with "I am not a Kobe hater". The level of hating from this dude is unreal. But he's really good at making it look like constructive criticism.

Recently he suggested that he had a higher basketball IQ than Kobe. He blamed the Lakers season struggles thus far on Kobe. Claimed he doesn't have much if any leadership skills. Said he was shooting too much (I agree) and that the team' failure was on him.

Then when we went on a streak and beat OKC but lost to Phoenix, he went on air blaming Kobe again. Suggesting he has no balance and that he was over passing. Again questioned his leadership and IQ.

Listen to this dude. THAT is a hater. I was all with his "constructive criticism" until he bashed Kobe for the Phoenix loss.

Actually Kellerman has been claiming to be a Laker guy since he got here. They even have that radio intro that says he's from the corner of whatever and whatever in LA.

I don't blame him for not being a Laker guy, but they turned the show into a circus with him and Wiley. At least Wiley doesn't pretend he's a Laker guy, even if he doesn't admit he's a hater.

And I simply prefer Ireland who really is a Laker guy.

well that part's a running gag he's always saying he was born in different "hood" parts of LA

also jay from compton is on right now...gag.

I don't mind Kellerman but Ireland's the man fo sho.

I know he moved up, but I loved seeing him on those on court interviews back in the Fox Sports days. Mike Trudell? Who?

Who?

That's cold.

I like Trudell. He's not as charasmatic as Ireland, but he's actually funnier when he's got an opportunity to open up. Ireland is a dweeb.

It annoys me whenever Wiley constantly makes comparisons between basketball and football in his analyses of the NBA. They're two totally different sports. Wiley is a bandwagon Clipper fan/Lakers hater/Kobe hater/annoying.

ESPN LA Radio Lakers haters/Clippers bandwagoners:

Marcella Wise
Ben Lyons
Jay from Compton

...all equally annoying to listen to

Dont forget Ramona Shelburn and Mark Willard too. Both are **** starters

Don't bypass the swear filter, you're a veteran poster and you know better -therealdeal

Ramona isn't too bad. Willard is tolerable. There's a difference between being an obvious hater and doing your job as media to stir conversation (especially on radio media).

I don't mind Willard he's just... dumb. I don't know that he has the capacity to be smarter than what he is.

listening to ramona is awkward. willard is okay, but not great. the kamenetzky's were about as exciting as celery but i kinda miss them now.

I find Ireland's locker room/courtside interview questions annoying & cringing.

Ben Lyons and Jay from Compton are on right now and it's terrible. I'm just waiting for Mason and Ireland to get on. Everything coming out of their mouths is negative. The Lakers have won the last 6 of 7 and they're talking about them like the team is in peril. Lyons just put Tyson Chandler over Dwight as best center in the NBA...wow

Really? I don't. I think he does a good job. I just think he's a nerd that's all, but that's okay.

ireland is a tool. his play-by-play is pathetic, he is too stiff, tries too hard because he knows he doesn't have the voice for it... so his best lines are mostly recycled / rehashed chick-isms. he was better as a sideline reporter, but trudell is better at that now. to go from chick to dedes then this "mouthpiece" is like going from a 62 vette to a c6 then ending up with a pos pontiac aztek.

His play-by-play is pathetic?... Since when? He does a more than adequate job of giving us the information we need.

And I honestly don't mind him using any of Chick's sayings because he WORSHIPS Chick. It's better than MacDonald by a long shot. At least he's not making up his own really awful stuff... Fresh snow!... ugh.

Kellerman never liked Kobe when he was on the radio here in NY. He would ALWAYS say how LeBron was a much better player than Kobe, this was back in like 2008 when Knick fans thought they were getting Bron. He'd call him selfish, how absurd the Jordan comparisons were, all sorts of crap.

I specifically remember it because his show was always on when I got out of school so I'd listen to it alot on the way home. Obviously being in LA now he really can't hate, but he never liked him.

These clowns are tearing Kobe APART right now. Lyons and Jay from Compton are turning Kobe into an evil dictator because of his comments towards Dwight. It's ridiculous. They're talking like Kobe's statements have absolutely no substance. We DON'T have time for Dwight's shoulder to fully heal. We DO need urgency. The Lakers ARE about championships. These guys are too much.

Oh jeez...Billy Mac is horrid. "Cash money!", "fresh snow!"

Absurd...

billy mac is awkward but i like it lol.

Let's just feel fortunate that we have Billy Mac and Stu instead of.... Lawler.

BINGO!

I like Ralph Lawler.

If it weren't for that tool he works with, he's a ton of fun.
