That's actually an interesting concept. When I watch for scores/highlights, I have no idea who's speaking. If they just showed LeBron dunking while a mysterious voice read "LeBron scored 38 in the Heat's 89-75 viclory over the Grizzlies", I wouldn't care. I don't need Stuart Scott's one-lners and I damn sure don't need to see him looking/not looking at the camera at the same time.
Well, if he could collect 25 hits or so when he returns, he may reach it near the end of the season when he's 38. Most likely, you have to bring him back at 39 for him to reach 3000.
