Sad shyt. ESPN's shows are unwatchable.

Since they minimize Maleka its been ok

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.

they “needed” to go? that sounds a bit harsh

 

[The God Poster]

Why have soo many basketball shows and commenters been losing their jobs or getting replaced lately?

ESPN getting rid some of the better basketball voices in the game and now Turner Sports cutting loose on one of the best basketball pregame/halftime shows ever and then replacing them with what will likely be inferior shows and voice commenters.

It makes no sense to me.

Turner isn’t cutting anything loose

They getting they shyt took

 

[CantStop]

this needed to be done

TNT crew was washed

Bringing back "NBA inside stuff" as a brand name would be dope

Shaqtin a c00n

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Yoooo was that the show Ahmad Rashad hosting?

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.

And if NBC is smart they’ll upload their segments on YouTube like TNT is doing

 

[Skooby]

TV money kills everything.

 

[Wolfpac]

The closing segment of the final episode

No more Inside The NBA and Boris Durke still commentating Conference Final & NBA Final games.

Life ain’t fair brehs.

Shaq has/had petty beef with Javale for no reason and Dwight() for using the Superman nickname

Like I'm good with my analysts having beef with dudes for no reason going forward. In a way this is a good thing if we can move away from all that.

Going to be hard to follow that show even if they all stay together on another network.Hopefully its no Conan O’Brien Tonight Show level shyt.
