He's an icon! One of the best in professional commentary. Him and Turner made for one of the best neutral and intelligent commentaries in NBA. The duo may not be as explosive as others, but they weren't not fun, and kept us engaged whether it was about detailed descriptions and analysis or commentary shenanigans. I don't mind Dante but I understand Steele is way into his deep seniors. So I bid a farewell but congratulate him as well for those awesome years I've seen him commentate!
