A media star that’s not even on TV right now has been voted by HoopsHype as the preeminent TV personality when it comes to NBA basketball.

Bill Simmons, who recently ended his tenure with ESPN and Grantland and has been a no-show during the NBA playoffs, beat friend Jalen Rose in the final of our NBA TV bracket.

Like in his previous matchups against Bill Walton, The Starters, Jeff Van Gundy and Charles Barkley, it was a pretty one-sided affair with the man formerly known as The Sports Guy getting 64.6 percent of the vote.

While nobody knows when he’ll be back on our screens, it’s clear people love them some Bill Simmons.
