Ian Eagle release some steam on Mike Fratello

People who are claiming this was a joke. . . Had no idea Ian Eagle had stans

Bird went full wrestling heel.

Wow. This was many years ago. Ian Eagle confirmed it was a joke. Fratello eventually gave him a high-five after when the broadcast went to commercial break.

Someone link me the Full video for context please

"I never use patronizing in a sentence"
Too many syllables for your simple brain?

Timeout

Here we are 12 years later and everyone is stupidly up in arms again.... It was a gag, a joke, sarcasm. Fratello actually high fived Eagle at the end of it. Go on about your lives people..... 🤣🤣

Ian Eagle is terrible what a baby. Waaaaahhh dude change your tampon.

One more time! Oh yeah, we're gonna celebrate oooooh!

Numbers of views of this video gonna be skyrocketed

A split screen? Yeah I know what a split screen is

Look at that score in the 4th

You people have to be really really dumb if you don’t understand that Ian Eagle was kidding. Based on Fratello’s reaction, and Eagle’s reaction TO his reaction, and the way they both laugh about it and make additional jokes right afterwards, it’s clear that Eagle was just joking around.

Bruh couldn’t wait until commercial break to get that off his chest?

dont stand for it

The Czar Of The Telestrator 🤣🤣🤣 Him, Hubie, and Marv 🐐🐐🐐

Ian Eagle is a very good announcer. I like listening to him on Nets and NFL broadcasts. With that said, he was being way too sensitive here. I’m sure Mike Fratello was trying to explain something to the viewing audience and not patronize Ian Eagle in any way.

Eagle Layed him the fuck out

The best man lol

Well that was awkward.... joke or not..

Ian Eagle has said this was a joke

cant believe people are taking this joke seriously.

Lol it was a bit, guys

I liked Mike "the czar" back in the day in the early '90s doing NBA with Marv Albert--Albert would be too much of a pro to get all sensitive like Ian Eagle-stick to those bottom of the barrel CBS games please!

Ian Eagle ain't about that life. He should have known better

lmfao

you guys dead don't get that he's fucking playing lol

gobbledygook!

lmfao wow. holy shit say that shit off the air

Very professional....

u mad

Manchild lol

NA cringe :^)

Yeeesh

my nigga was mad lmao

I love Ian Eagle lol

Shut up, E-in.

was he joking?

If Ian Eagle don't sit his little ass down

yes so when will they wrestle each other

I need to start using the phrase "goblity guck"

Oh god not "golbity guck" we are getting real flustered now fellas.

what a butthurt little baby

sensitive.

I guess it's safe to say these two hate each other?

It was probably pretty tough watching all those horrible Nets teams every night.

arent these two best friends?

Ian was joking around and trying to add color to what looks like a boring game. Lots of play-by-play guys do that with their color commentators. E.g. Reggie Miller and Marv.

Agreed. Apparently Eagle doesn't realize that he's on the D-list as far as play by play announcers are concerned.

I saw this live and they talk like this all the time, I think it was a joke

Too funny - although Ian, you might want to wait until the commercial break next time...
