After seeing and listening to the analyst that have called our games this year I really miss Gary Thompson.  Gary was very intelligent about the game and called the game well giving credit where credit was due but you always knew he was a clone.

I grew up watching the games with him doing the commentary. I never knew what a big deal he really was, but he was a great commentator.
Around here, we've had it really good, and a lot of people never really knew it.

I very much agree. I miss listening to Gary do the games. Tremendous knowledge of the game, and called it fairly, though with a hint of lean towards the good guys. |
 "We have gone forth from our shores repeatedly over the last hundred years and we've done this as recently as the last year in Afghanistan and put wonderful young men and women at risk, many of whom have lost their lives, and we have asked for nothing except enough ground to bury them in, and otherwise we have returned home to seek our own, you know, to seek our own lives in peace, to live our own lives in peace."

Gary looked to still be in pretty good shape as well, a couple nice baskets and a steal! Good to see him out there.
