NBA approves new media deals with Disney (ABC/ESPN), Comcast (NBC), and Amazon for 11 years, $77 billion. Update: NBA REJECTS WBD's (TNT Sports) deal

I see Barkley/Kenny/Shaq going to NBC for that "Basketball Night in America" slot where they would only have to work one night a week. 10 years ago Chuck was ready to retire but not now with these big deals the networks are handing out to prestige broadcasters. He can easily get $10-15 Million a year for that job. Replace Ernie with Maria Taylor and keep it moving. The new version of "Inside the NBA" will be on Peacock after the games because regular NBC will have to go to local news.

The NBA had a life before Inside the NBA and they’ll have a life after them.
They played a major part in the current state of the NBA talk just like ESPN, but don’t get the criticism that they deserve because of their likability.
That Shaq/Jokic interview along should have shown why they needed to go.

TNT CAN STILL LEASE THE PROGRAM TO NBC
WOULD MAKE SENSE FOR BOTH NETWORKS TBH

Do we know where Chuck/Shaq/Kenny are likely to go afterwards?

NBC's sports presentation is ELITE. Everyone should be happy if the NBA lands there. It's elite in all sports, football, you'll see it in their Olympic Games coverage in Paris as well.
Amazon will be really good too, they put a lot of effort into Thursday Night Football. Understandably, some people don't want to get Prime Video but I always have Amazon as a sub regardless.
ESPN will still be trash because Silver sucks Iger off and nothing will change.

Where tf did you learn how to speak English?
i'm thinking Amazon would give Chuck and Shaq a bag, even Kenny. But it ain't the same like it or not without Ernie either.
That last episode.

This is not quite right yet. Many media outlets are still speculating whether WBD has matching rights and if they will elect to use those matching rights. Nothing new actually happened today.
If they were going to match the deal then they would have already done so by now.

Nah fukk that. Easily the best NBA show of all time outside of Ahmad Rashad's NBA shows
Real talk is more important than blatant than the ESPN propaganda hype machine. And Inside the NBA called it out
What makes the blow less bad is that Fox Sports 1 emerged the last 10 years as a legit competitor of NBA talk
They're all culpable and played a part in what's transpired and the current state of the game. Let's not act like there weren't times that they had no complete clue about some of the games played or the players. If ESPN can get that slander and rightfully so, then Inside the NBA can too especially after that Shaq/Jokic interview.
You're so desperate for the news you ain't EVER gonna getBecause H0e Arbor is on time out because of...
