NBA: ESPN saved Inside the NBA

[JP4CY]

Please don't change a thing.

Hopefully they understand how much WE ALL HATE their own basketball "personalities".

I feel like ESPN will screw it up.

I feel like ESPN will screw it up.

Stephen A (and some others) needs a lifetime ban from this show or it's not the show I've been watching for a quarter century.

I have 0 faith in ESPN not to mess this up

 

[Clonehomer]

Didn’t Barkley announce he’s retiring after this season? You can call a show whatever you want. But ESPN will never understand what made that show so good.

Reading thru the other thread and the WSJ story, looks like TNT still runs "Inside the NBA," so seems like ESPN has limits on screwing this up.

TNT-NBA settlement; Big 12 TV coverage

I didn't see a thread yet but this is pretty big news for the Big 12 (surprisingly involved) in the TNT-NBA settlement. It looks like ESPN will be sublicensing Big 12 games to TNT due to the settlement with the NBA...

damn paywalls

damn paywalls

All I need to know is will Charles/Kenny be in the studio for an ISU game?

I still remember Chuck blurting out "Iowa State got screwed" when we very obviously did get screwed vs Ohio State when they took Clyburn's 3 point play off the board.

 

[AgronAlum]

Hopefully they’re still doing March Madness too.

TNT has full editorial control. https://frontofficesports.com/inside-the-deal-that-sends-barkley-and-inside-the-nba-to-espn/

That's cool if TNT can keep their rights over it.

However I expect it to eventually turn into a bunch of yelling over one another next to a huge crowd like MNF is.

The crew is passing around Chuck's glasses and its absolute gold.

 

[JP4CY]

I repeat. DO NOT CHANGE A THING.

I repeat. DO NOT CHANGE A THING.

You'll get Kendrick Perkins and Stephen A and you'll like it.

This sucks.
