Vitale flip flop >>

Brace yourself NBA fans. Here comes Dickie V. ESPN’s NBA and college basketball commentators will switch roles during a Jan. 7 basketball doubleheader. Mike Tirico and analysts Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy will call Davidson at Duke at 4 p.m. PST, followed by Dan Shulman and Hall of Famer Dick Vitale providing commentary when the Denver Nuggets host the Miami Heat at 6 p.m. “It’s been over two decades since I’ve worked an NBA game, but basketball is basketball at all levels and a free throw is still worth a point,” Vitale said.
