  This is a bad day for Knicks basketball. First Oakley admits he told LeBron not to go their now Gus Johnson is gone.

  Kinda sucks. But I do understand where MSG Network is coming from.

  [...] Via Slam The über-popular announcer will reportedly no longer call Knicks games. The NY Post reports that his bosses at MSG were upset with the way his side gigs affected his work, so they sent him packing: “Gus Johnson, the shouts-a-lot, play-by-play radio voice of the Knicks since the 1997-98 season — and a frequent fill- in for Mike Breen on MSG Network’s Knicks’ telecasts — is out at the Garden. Over the last two seasons, Johnson, 43, had annoyed MSG Network shot-callers by missing many games to work outside TV gigs, including CBS’ college basketball and Showtime boxing. [...]

  MMA fans really dislike this guy as an announcer for Showtime. I wish he had of been fired there instead.

  Bullshit.

• Allenp Posted: Oct.21 at 11:02 am
  I like Gus.

• kousinkar Posted: Oct.21 at 11:03 am
  This is shameful; yet another slap in the face to Knicks fans via James Dolan. Nobody I’d rather listen to during a Knicks game more than Gus and Clyde.

  lol Gus do be everywhere though

• T-Money Posted: Oct.21 at 11:14 am
  Fair.

• Papa Smurf Posted: Oct.21 at 11:46 am
  wonder how loud he got when he was told he was fired . . .

• Kevin Posted: Oct.21 at 11:55 am
  Gus is that dude for real. When he said Chris Johnson had “getting away from the cops speed” I almost died laughing

• IAMORANGE4EVER Posted: Oct.21 at 12:05 pm
  Gus got too big for his britches, so MSG had to 86 him.

• Enigmatic Posted: Oct.21 at 12:26 pm
  Gus is that dude! Remember that interview with Spike Lee? Spike (referring to Dan Dickau)- “I like Dick”
  Gus – “PAUSE!”

  Gus is awesome. period. w/e at least we still get to watch him do college b-ball and nfl games.

• Jumper Posted: Oct.21 at 1:20 pm
  ^^^That was a golden moment in TV history!! What other commentator will pause a guest???

• BxBaller Posted: Oct.21 at 1:38 pm
  Bullsh*t. Dude was one of my favorite announcers, and had a real “fan like” style to his annnouncing.

• Josh M Posted: Oct.21 at 2:24 pm
  “My name is Al Harrington, and I get buckets!”

• Heals Posted: Oct.21 at 3:36 pm
  May not be so bad, as Gus may pick more gigs elsewhere and I like the Breen-Clyde combo for Knicks games…

• Boing Dynasty Posted: Oct.21 at 5:08 pm
  Gus Johnson > Amar’e Stoudamire

• Lockout Posted: Oct.22 at 4:04 am
  Can’t stand him, such a young retard wanabee. Trying to talk Hip/Jive/Slang… Maaaaan! and co-sign Swiftboy.

• Mark Posted: Oct.25 at 9:58 am
  What do Gus Johnson and Chinese food have in common? No MSG!!!!!!!!!!!!

• dave Posted: Oct.27 at 11:27 am
  thank god. have hated gus johnson since the first day I heard him. I refused to buy the new Madden 11 because he’s the featured announcer. He’s just awful…makes it all about him instead of the game.

  Knicks fan will miss Gus Johnson call of the game. They should fire D’Antoni right away. His program & coaching style and awareness is not the answer.
