I had to turn it off about 30 seconds into the Top 10 dunks, who the hell is that guy doing the voice over and why would the NBL think it was a good idea to do that?
I'm not sharing that around it's excruciating.

Beau Estes does a fantastic job, but the most important thing is that his fans over in the US are being exposed to our league.
Anon, don't put someone down and automatically dismiss their opinion just because theirs doesn't correspond with yours. I'm trying to think of a word for that type of behaviour.
Estes does have a grating voice, but I don't mind it. I'd hazard a guess and say some people are sheep in that they like him by association though

Zodiac that "guy" is the voice of replays and top 10s.
To quote the great tupac. "You don't have to bump it, but please respect it".

Great touch by the NBL getting NBA Beau to do the voiceover.
I feel they slightly over did all the rhyming, but no doubt sounds way better and more professional.

would be great if they could try get him to do the weekly top 10 next season

Who picks these things? Could think of 5 dunks off the top of my head that should have been in the top ten.

Seems odd the Sixers didn't have a play worthy of the top 10 Dunks, Blocks or Plays!!!
Yeah the commentator does a lot of official NBA top play videos, ie best daily and weekly top 10s
I enjoy his style but i can see how some people wouldn't.

I think the dunks were chosen more on how the players reacted after the dunk than the actual dunk itself (eg Tokoto vs Brisbane), as if screaming or glaring at the opponent is better than the actual dunk.
I can think of a couple of dunks that Cooke Jr did (there weren't that many!) that were better than most of those, but he didn't showboat afterwards.

100% agree with Zodiac.
The guy sounds like an idiot!
I dont care who he is but as a first time listener sounds terrible!
