Have you ever heard of a show called Inside The NBA? It\u2019s a show that\u2019s been around for over 28 years and is considered by most basketball fans to be the top authority on the game. They know all about history, they know all about where the sport is currently, they have the best predictions and the best knowledge of all the stats. They know about the front office, they know about the coaches, they know the ins and outs of professional basketball. But they also know a tremendous amount about college basketball at all levels. And sometimes they even talk about basketball on an international level. When it comes to basketball there are few shows that can hold a candle to Inside The NBA, and that particular show is hosted by one man Ernie Johnson. It also has three co-hosts that I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve all heard of in Shaquille O\u2019Neal, Charles Barkley, and Smith. But let\u2019s focus on the host. There is only one host and three co-hosts. The three co-hosts played basketball at the elite level. Shaq and Kenny both have won national titles. Charles Barkley does not have a national title but has won the Association\u2019s MVP Award and played on countless All-Star teams. So, what about Ernie? Did he ever win a basketball title or play in an All-Star game? No, because he never played professional basketball. But surely, he was a top college basketball star, right? Actually, he was not. I don\u2019t think he even played high school basketball. I think he played high school baseball. So, to the people that say you have to be a pro in order to commentate on pro sports, they don\u2019t really know what the hell they\u2019re talking about because all I could say is look at Ernie Johnson. Well, it just so happens that here we are once again talking about this nonsensical point made by people in the sport of bodybuilding every so often. Only this time, it\u2019s a much-celebrated coach talking about the most popular YouTuber in the world.<\/p>\n
Now we all know the pecking order in bodybuilding. We know that the big three shows are the Olympia, the Arnold Classic, and the New York Pro. We also have big shows in Dubai, Tampa, possibly Prague and maybe a few other places. The big controversy here is that Nick Miller, the most popular YouTube commentator in bodybuilding, who has held that distinction for probably 10 years, is being questioned for commentating the Arnold Classic.<\/p>\n
Chris \u201cThe Technician\u201d Aceto, one of the most celebrated bodybuilding coaches ever, seems to believe that Nick should not be commentating the second biggest bodybuilding show in the world per what I\u2019ve seen on several bodybuilding podcasts. The logic is that Nick never competed at that level \u2013 even though Nick has competed in bodybuilding \u2013 he has not competed at that level. Therefore, he should not be commentating on the second biggest bodybuilding show in the world. Now, Arnold Schwarzenegger the namesake of the contest wants Nick to commentate and that should be the end of the story. However, as is often the case, there\u2019s some bickering coming from the peanut gallery. I\u2019m not going to say that Aceto is part of the peanut gallery<\/em>, but he is certainly out of his element to tell the promoter of a contest who that person should have as a commentator. But aside from that, his argument is a very silly one because at the end of the day, we\u2019ve heard this argument many times before and it\u2019s not just in commentating.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n
