ESPN Fans Praising TV Analyst For NBA Finals Performance
ESPN Fans Praising TV Analyst For NBA Finals Performance originally appeared on The Spun. ESPN has taken plenty of criticism for its coverage of the 2025 NBA Finals, but at least one analyst received praise for his performance on Monday night. Advertisement Following the Oklahoma City Thunder's victory over the Indiana Pacers, ESPN's Brian Windhorst and Iman Shumpert offered their thoughts on Game 5. Windhorst has been one of the top NBA reporters for ESPN since joining the network in 2010. As for Shumpert, he partnered with Disney and ESPN this past October to create a documentary series. Although he's not often shown on TV, he proved this week that he's more than capable of taking on a larger workload. Shumpert, a former first-round pick and NBA champion, did an excellent job breaking down Oklahoma City's tenacious defense during his postgame conversation with Windhorst. Not only did fans rave about Shumpert's performance, some said he should receive a prominent role for ESPN's coverage of the 2025-26 season.

Advertisement "I like how he explained the things that players do outside of scoring, which I don't hype up anyway because I already know what players can consistently get buckets. Players can be effective in other ways though," a second fan said. "Shumpert always gives great explanation of the game. He wasn't a superstar, but he was a very good role player and knew how to perfect his role. I hope he gets a contract with one of these networks or podcast," a third fan wrote. "Shumpert should replace [Kendrick] Perkins," another fan suggested. "He actually knows and can talk hoops." At 34 years old, Shumpert has plenty of time to rise up the ranks. Advertisement Luckily for Shumpert, NBC and Prime Video will be looking for NBA analysts this summer. That could lead him to landing a marquee job. The NBA Finals will resume on Thursday with Game 6. We'll see if Shumpert gets a chance to showcase his broadcasting skills once again. Related: Stephen A.
