NBC & Adam Silver you will pay for yor crimes

I don't care

The show is okay but a lot of the propping up of the shyt is nostalgia. They barely watch games and can form coherent thoughts at this point. Adding Shaq was a mistake IMO. I enjoyed the show before his arrival.

Call me nuts, and this is just a theory I came up with, but I wouldn't be surprised if TNT kept them together as a sports/media show like a weekly combination of Sportscenter and First Take.

I still think they'd get the views if they timed it up with the half time of games and Zaslav would be snake enough to propose it.

.....there's also the idea that Chuck goes down with the ship because of his love of Ernie. I don't think him retiring is out of the question yet.

without highlights? They would need to buy a NBA rights package to show highlights and I doubt WBD would do it.

The saddest news in the history of news.

My lady hates sports, but she'd watch Chuck, Kenny, Shaq, and Ernie with me every time they were on.

She was at Kenny tripping up the steps twice

that does nothing for the NBA

Where is this NBC sports coverage being elite coming from? The last few olympics have been terrible. For TNT getting a few playoff games a year will not make up for losing the NBA which is 2-3 nights a week of prime time programming.

i can't stand shaq on the show

 

[William Heavy]

I'd love to see Chuck and Kenny go to NBC. Shaq, enjoy your retirement or your new job on Amazon.

i can't stand shaq on the show

Folks got used to how bad his presence made the show

More Emmys



And still getting cancelled

Next season, they should keep all of the Emmy's the show has won in front of the desk like a trophy case. Every time they're on air, you know they've been unfukkwithable for many years

 

[Marlow Stanfield]

Maybe not, but it points to the reach the show has with people. It's on the NBA to produce a product that hooks those people in beyond watching Inside.

 

[charknicks]

For all of those who say that NBC can just pick up Chuck, Shaq and Kenny and do their own show there- I dont see NBC letting Chuck and Shaq get their type of jokes that they do back and forth on their air. Sadly, this show is over after next season.

 

[concise]

You literally had Barkley telling fans not to watch NBA games two years ago. You had Shaq apologizing for talking poorly about a player he never watched and not knowing his game.

This is good for the NBA if you ask me. Get people who are serious about the sport not this crap with two c00ns being chummy uncles

Can't forget those "Who he play for" segments

and I also remember some years back, the Knicks were really bad and they got blown out, might have been against the KG era Celtics ... they were laughing about never having to see them on the channel again. Never heard anything like that on an NFL broadcast.
