I think their problem is more that they are mostly agenda-driven fools who don't actually know what they're talking about, even if some of them did play the game. And more pertinently, that they aren't actually proficient analysts (in the broader sense, not speaking strictly on a quantitative level), so they are riddled with fallacies, oversights and a general absence of integrity in how they approach a given subject.
They're clowns. Some of them are more honest about it, like Stephen A. Smith. He knows what he is and dedicates himself to the role. It's a stupid role, but he knows what he's doing and does it well. The others, like the TNT crew, who pretend they're useful at any point other than when they are just bantering with one another, are sort of tragic. And there are other examples beyond them in the media environment and the space of NBA commentary.
So his role is to be openly racist and xenophobic and to surround himself with the people with the same views, good job ESPN.
