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

[thelonious21]

the equivalent would be like Pedro Martinez on TBS/MLB Network or Frank Thomas on FOX shyttin on baseball players and not knowing who they are.

The closest guy to this is Smoltz, who's basically the spiritual successor to Tim McGarver

You knw.. it's obvious but idk why I never viewed it like that..

Can't have your own show shyt on the talent.

That's why they got rid of Van Gundy

[Jplaya2023]

So whats the possibility of NBC hiring Van Gundy and Mark Jackson to be part of their PBP team next year. Buy Breen out of his ESPN contract and get the big 3 back together

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Entertaining at the expense of the game is worthless. The show ends, but the NBA lives on with the toxic atmosphere They played a role in fostering .

Not a single sport outside of the NBA had characters of this nature, tearing down its sport and its players every week

They don't spend the show shytting on players at halftime they break down what they are seeing..

Shaq and Charles are annoying sometimes in their opinions on shyt but most of the time they just breakdown the games with Kenny runnin to the board

Van Gundy and Jackson could very well sign, but Breen's gonna stay where the Finals will still be.

Mike Tirico getting those spots. Maybe Noah Eagle levels up and gets the other team.

The big loss is gonna be losing Ian Eagle & Kevin Harlan

Breen isn’t going back to NBC

NBC doesn’t have the NBA Finals

I dont understand how people are ok with two dudes who perform zero homework on the league besides the game they’re covering. Nothing more powerful than an idiot, NBA, Fan saying “even Barkley said…” and it’s something negative. That hurts the NBA. Get that toxic shyt off the TV.

They don’t know shyt beyond covering the actual game that’s on. The worst thing the league needs is its fans cosigning negativity about to leagie from one of them. Get them guys off the air. They contribute to the toxic and retarded nature of how the sport as discussed. The NBA deserves better.

It's mad funny that why

Shaq and Charles are funny with that shyt

There is only one Charles.

He annoys the shyt outta me too on certain shyt but he also makes me laugh. He has that appeal

Shaq is annoying too but him and Charles have that dynamic

Its hard to quantify and almost impossible to duplicate

 

[concise]

I can't understand how he so Heauxmotional

Can't take jabs..

Always talks about his rings and this stupid G14 clearance.. like stfu..

Keeping it a buck.. he does have his benefits.. he's the reason they carryon like that.. but when he gets defensive it just fukks up the flow

Shaq is the definition of a dude who can crack on everybody gets highly offended at almost anyone saying anything back.

And everything you said does nothing for the NBA.

It does for them, not the NBA. I don’t see how they are a value add to the league, and you have not expressed that..

Because people love the show dog

THAT's the value in it!



Thats why they keeping winning Emmys

I told you when certain shyt works on TV it just works...

Sometimes there is no valid reason why it just works!

 

[Joe Sixpack]

nikka... This shyt cannot be duplicated

I laughed so hard at this it never gets old

 

[In The Zone '98]

Shaq/Chuck don't celebrate basketball. Are openly envious of the money current players make. Do not like the style of play.
