Inside The NBA will be licensed to ESPN/ABC next year

[Ethnic Cleansing]

Will they be able to talk freely on ESPN like they do on TNT?

Don’t get all family oriented on us.

Pat Cacafee gets to say 'shyt' on his show

What happens to the TNT B team? Parker, Lefcoe, and Crawford have a pretty good show. Hope they get carried over or picked up by Amazon.

Mafukkas in here crying. They rather have Kendrick Pootie Tang Perkins and Step And Fetch it Smith instead.

An ESPN source tells FOS that includes the regular season’s opening and final weeks, All-Star Weekend, Christmas Day, the NBA Playoffs—and all ABC games after Jan. 1.

That's a good news but don't like ESPN

Lefkoe is a WBD employee still. As is Parker.

Crawford left. So I’d imagine he gets picked by Amazon or NBC soon.

The question is, who will host Inside the NBA?

Because it doesn’t seem like it’ll be Ernie Johnson if they’re saying the same crew won’t be on the show and since he’s been adamant about not doing anything outside of TNT.

I know it’s a licensing deal but that doesn’t exactly mean everything about it will remain the same…right or wrong?

Either way, I think this good for all sides.


Edit: Guess it’ll remain as is and ESPN talent or production won’t necessarily touch it…which is great.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's Spiro's since Turner has been prepping him to take the place of Ernie.

Do we really need Stephen A getting in on this? Dude is already trying to get into political talk.

I expect NBC to get them with Eagle and Wade being the commentators for prime games.

At least fire Shaq.

Inside The NBA was the grand prize, so of course they were willing to give up some college games in order to get it.

ESPN just demoted their entire in house crew

As they should, Because the NBA studio shows fell off once the 2010s started.

I thought ratings dropping had some to do with the terrible broadcasts on espn as well as the obvious stuff. The less Perkins and Chiney the better

This why they let Zach Lowe leave, no point in paying him or any other NBA analyst big money
