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

[SchoolboyC]

Bro espn got no say period.. Who owns espn? Disney right? Ok espn ain’t doing shyt without Disney say so.. you TD why contracts are to be followed and no breached

ESPN is trash and awful, everything they touch turns to shyt

Like I said I understand the situation now, but my gut reaction being that they’ll butcher it is what it is

Stephen A Smith gonna be on Inside The NBA

No he won’t

 

[Voice of Reason]

I wanted this show to go off of the air.

You’ll be officially out of Laker season threads before they’re off air

 

[The_Sheff]

No he won’t

He absolutely will be at some point. Not a regular but most likely when they do a show on location in the playoffs, where Smith will already be in attendance.

It’s an easy play. Barkley or Shaq respond to something controversial Stephen A says, then he makes his way to the set to “clear the air”.

I don’t want bspn talent no where near the tnt crew

Unless they get SAS and Kendrick on via satellite all the time, there won't be much of a crossover until the crew is on the road. Sounds like the show is staying in Atlanta.

You think he wouldn't fly down there?

ESPN don't work from there. At best, he'd be on via satellite to chime in which would be awkward since he wouldn't be there in person.

I know. I'm saying Stephen would fly down there on his own dime to be on the show.

Expect more of this

Expect more of this

That was fun

 

[UpAndComing]

Expect more of this

That was actually pretty good. I'm still confused how Inside the NBA will work after this year

So whenever an NBA game airs on ESPN, it would be Inside the NBA that will do only the halftime and post game show?
Or will every game with ESPN license the entire TNT broadcast?

Big games during the regular season like opening night, Cup games, Xmas, MLK Day, and the postseason they’ll have Inside the NBA lead in, do halftime and post. Atleast that’s the idea.

NBA Countdown and Sportscenter handle the rest of the inventory.

Interesting, not a bad deal at all
So would they also do the NBA playoffs as well? I heard that Inside the NBA will now do the NBA Finals
