The text from Jimmy Dykes was clear and concise. It matched his work as an ESPN basketball analyst.
I’m biased because he’s my friend, but Dykes is the best on their broadcasts. He isn’t a talking head. He’s an analyst. He tells you why something has happened and what’s likely to be next.
That’s the definition of the job, but many fail to come close. They become a second play-by-play man.
It’s the reason I was excited to read his book, “The Film Doesn’t Lie.”
“Praying it changes the path of just one person,” he said.
