[Awful Announcing] But with discussions of TNT Sports losing some or all of its NBA rights, there’s also now talk that Inside The NBA might be shared with another broadcaster. That also could see some or all of its personalities leave for other pastures completely.

End of an era for real if that shit happens.
TNT crew about to be sent to the Galveston realm
One of the best things about the nba are these guys. Bezos needs to pay whatever and get them on amazon games.
This article isn’t really saying anything. Just hypothesizing that stars could leave if Inside the NBA ends up with another network. And sure, that’s possible if they force changes. But otherwise, I don’t really see why any of the cast would care what network they’re on, as long as they can continue to do their thing.
Adam Silver is a fraud
You’d have to be an idiot to change those guys.
Never watching it again if they split up the crew
Big ladies in San Antonio send their regards
I just hope Lefkoe is out of a job
Damn so it is actually happening.
Was expecting TNT to lose based on Chuck’s comments 2 yrs ago during his “media free agency” but now reality is setting in.
Really gonna have to cherish these last set of episodes for Inside the NBA while it lasts (up to the Conference Finals)
I see this going 1 of 2 ways:
They end up like Aikmen/Buck where they end up staying together regardless of how the business of that works out.
Barkley decides this is a good time to retire. He hangs it up and Ernie follows suit, Kenny also might join them. Shaq tries to keep the feel of the show alive wherever he goes but finds out that you can’t replace what they had.
All these sports strangling their golden gooses about to be shocked when the eggs stop being produced.
Damn I was having a good morning too
Inside the nba has to be a package deal with the rights
They could lose Kenny and I would not care but the other guys make me chuckle.
In this age of money saving, no way they bring back the whole crew, if any of them at all. Maybe Jet or Shaq comes back. Chuck probably will just retire. Ernie stays at Turner for baseball.
I predict the lineup will be Maria Taylor as the host with a combo of Jaylen Rose, Paul Pierce, Jet, Shaq, Danny Green, or Blake Griffin.
Shaq will follow the money no matter where it leads him.
Charles just got a raise. Now he gets to negotiate another one. Legendary
I wish there was something we could do. Don’t want to see them go
We get NBA on NBC back, but we lose NBA on TNT. Yes, I wanted the former back, but not this way! NBC, you better sign all the crew (bar Harlan and Drake, tied to CBS). And get Mike Tirico and Kenny Albert to call the games and the magic will return. Please have Ahmad Rashad involved in some capacity too.
I don’t know what else is even on TNT aside from NBA
I think they afford to lose/replace Shaq or Kenny, but if either of Ernie or Charles go, just shut it down.
You would have to be real stupid to switch this show up. You’re gonna piss off a lot of basketball fans
Let’s not forget that part of what makes Inside the NBA so great is their production team and crew. Those people are top-notch as well, and drive so many funny videos, graphics, and bits. The behind the scenes documentary really highlighted to me how essential they are. Even if the 4 main guys stick together wherever they land, it’ll be nearly impossible to keep the same team.
The video overlaying Ernie’s dunk on top of an Alex Caruso breakaway dunk is still peak TV to me. That’s all the production crew.
Oh hell nawl cant do this
Chuck will move to San Antonio
I don’t like NBA playoff games being on cable, but this team has been consistently good for a long time and it would suck if they were broken up.
Truly, fuck David Zaslav. He is ruining staples of television and film that are actually still profitable to justify a dog shit merger and increase his stock payout.
i have enjoyed watching so many playoff games on Max, very frustrating to think were only gonna have a single postseason of it.
i’ve worked in TV since leaving college and i still don’t know a single person that subs to peacock.
Hot take Kenny should be replaced by Richard Jefferson.
Well that’s a terrible fucking news to wake up to smh, what the fuuuuck
This crew makes national games sooo much more watchable. Even if I don’t care for the teams, they easily bring the entertainment to make it worth the time.
Take Kenny as a sacrifice
This would be a crime and it needs to be stopped. We will strike unless the whole crew moves over.
Personalities? The production team are the real mvps on this show. Goddamn they’re quick and original.
They gotta get paid. But if anyone tries to change anything Chuck is out for sure. Hope it all ends well. If the Godfather is happy then it’s much easier to get Chuck to stay.
Chuck will just retire and thats a wrap. He’s tried to retire several times already.
The league should just buy the TNT crew out and make it a part of the NBA service. They can’t be replaced.
Yeah let’s split up a crew on a show that has a combine 18 Emmy wins in its history. Something ain’t working with these guys.
I’ll take ESPN if the TNT guys replace that sorry excuse for a halftime show
ESPN will get it and continue to do a shitty job with clowns and dumb asses
Inside the NBA is better than most of the actual nba games.
Barkley basketball camp
It would be the end of an era for sure, but I’ve always felt the show lost something when Shaq joined. It was perfect with just Chuck, Ernie, and Kenny.
You can’t possibly see the Kenny chalk line prank last night and think “yea we gotta switch it up”
They’ve got to keep these guys together.
It’s the best show in the business.
