I love Greg Gumbel and he is a star
In his own right and more than that
He is much more gregarious & nicer than his stuck-up brother superstar Bryant
Very talented and can do it all like Al Michaels
A jack of all trades IMHO
From play-by-play man to studio host
Just seems to be more likable and treats people the way that they want to be treated
IMHO, he is the real deal!
