Dont think anyone will top the squad
They have the GOAT sports talk show for a reason. When chuck retires it’s gonna be a sad fucking day
The GOAT of television
Ernie a lightskin brotha who can relate like them
Nothing, and I mean nothing comes close in TV to the chemistry these guys have. I would give my left nut to have TNT do the Finals.
The vibes are immaculate
Been watching since Chucks first day. Going to be a sad day when they hang it up.
In light of the news about Undisputed, this is reassuring
This entire South beach session is very much worth watching. Ernie talks about the crew, his work and more importantly taking care of Michael.
He mentions getting mad at Shaq for being late in front of the crew. Then the relationship got icy for rest of the day. Next day, Shaq came early and Ernie unprompted went up to him and hugged him and teased him to cheer him up.
..ernie elevating my emotions
Respect to the Godfather
Wish TNT was doing the Finals
Which will be more devastating, Lebron retiring or the crew?
NBA basketball won’t be the the same when the inside guys are gone
🥺🥺 my heart
Ernie looking very good man
Ernie has a pod cast? Darn I have been missing out on.

I’ve been watching Inside since Magic was on. It was always the first thing I would add to record when I got a new DVR. My dream would be to watch the games with them.
Ernie has to be one of the most decent people on the planet.
The GOATS of this shit. Truly cant take them for granted.
The Godfather has spoken. TNT crew is goated.
That’s my Black Masters champ!!
Man, I could listen to Ernie all day.
People love the TNT guys because they’re genuine. You can see it on TV. Not like that other network where it’s all about egos and hot takes.
Inside the NBA is what topgear used to be before Clarkson hit the producer (the chemistry, the banter, the fun, the product; the grand tour was not the same as when they were on topgear).
What I like about the show is that it gives the hosts time to speak up their mind and have a somewhat normal discussion and not just sprout controversial takes and issues in a debating mood.
Each host takes their time to share their thoughts and EJ sets that tone. He is skillful in managing the conversations and topics in such a way that they don’t appear to be forced or scripted (unlike the ESPN shows). You just sit on your couch, listen and watch them talk about basketball and anything else and you just enjoy the show as a basketball fan.
One can feel the genuine respect and closeness each one of them have to one another. Each one of them know their roles and responsibilities. They feel secured in their positions as hosts and they do not try to upstage one another.
I am just trying to appreciate the show before it comes to an end in the future.
