The NBA itself should just sign Ernie, Chuck, Kenny and Shaq as league employees and whichever network gets the TV contract, gets those 4 guys as part of the deal.
The NBA is too cheap for that. The Commissioner makes $100,000 more than the highest paid player by design!
I don’t even like when the games are on ESPN. ESPN fired the best commentators Jalen Rose Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson. Without Van Gundy and Mark Jackson ESPN games SUCK! Love when INSIDE THE NBA is on and games are commentated on TNT
Facts!
TNT commentary of the games is actually quite childish, particularly with Jamal Crawford. But the 4 man crew is the best thing in sports off the field/court.
ESPN is trash! 👎🏾
Me either; i don't really care for the espn countdown crew and analytical j.j. redick as an analyst/commentor GETS ON MY LAST NERVE!! Doris burke & mike breen are solid analysts/commentars though 👍👍
Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson were awesome together. So smart, so funny. ESPN makes so many horrible decisions.
Inside the NBA is the only reason i look for the games and highlights.
Me too!! I can’t believe it
" Inside the NBA " is the absolute BEST NBA sport show. You get wonderful coverage from 3 NBA knowledgeable Superstars and Ernie HOF Sport Commentator, who is phenomenal. This is the Greatest Sport Show on TV. They discuss other Breaking News freely. And their comedy is unmatched. The shows are so varied that other sport programs can't keep up. PLEASE reconsider!
All I can say is if TNT can't secure the rights, enjoy it while you can.
Fuck em.
seconded.

I think one of those companies will create a new "NBA Insiders" and hire that desk.
@@LionTreeprobably not , it’s just like any other company coming in , they start fresh
Ernie holds it all together. Definitely wouldn’t be the same without Ernie. Ernie the man
Hey ernie is good at what he does. I think it's more than that 😕 sorry people thinks 🤔 the way they do. They tell you about the game at hand. They played the game and ernie nows the game. Wow!!!
This is insane, this can't be happening..... Inside the NBA on TNT is the only reason I stay up to watch West Coast games....
"Inside the NBA" with Ernie, Chuck, Kenny,, and Shaq is like Coca-Cola BEFORE Coke attempted to "change" the original formula. We, from back in the day, remember how that debacle turned out.
Everything in this country boils down to greed 💯 We can’t control the board rooms and big wigs making the greediest of choices but we can control where we spend our money. Spend yours wisely folks.
I don’t even watch basketball, but I watch them being themselves on screen. They are TV gold.
You're thumbnail is about asteroid physics. I'm a smart.
Same here. Inside The NBA is the NBA for me.
One of the best crews ever put together for tv.
No inside the Nba no need for tnt on my cable bill
Billionaires have ruined sports. I live in Denver and can't watch My Nugs Avs Rockies. Can't afford it. Can't afford to go to games or the super expensive channels. It's ridiculous. Real fans like me have been fazed out. They only want the rich as fans. Maybe one reason the stands are half empty in most arenas and ballparks.
Is an end of an era guys. Appreciate every moment while you can.
Can't have anything,.. they're the best ,and tnt better pay em
Or SOMEONE ELSE WILL
I haven't watched an NBA game since the late nineties, but I've watched Inside countless times on CZcams. It's a great show.
Great posting this crucial topic in sports tv history. These 4 guys fit like a glove together and makes me smile and laugh every single time watching them. Sports tv is not going to be the same without them. Just my 2 cents here from Manila PH 🇵🇭
thanks.
-rick
E. J./ernie johnson is the best; love him as a moderater between chuck, shaq & kenny.
NBA on TNT is just like Monday Night Football on ABC it been the flagship of NBA and that includes TBS.
true, retro.
-rick
@@tytsports 35 years on TNT that hell of an run. If this is the end I hope TNT get a well deserved sendoff
The four of them should band together and go to whoever gets the rights. Send a message to those arrogant billionaires. Those 4 ARE what makes inside the NBA what it is- not the other way around.
Watching them is more entertaining than some of the games.
Sometimes the game will suck and I'll hang around just to watch them and see what the graphics will produce.
Keep the group together. Inside the NBA with NBC or NBA TV. Whatever it takes!
They can CZcams it, Change the name of the show and I'd still watch
NOPE THEY CANT BECAUSE THEY WONT BE ABLE TO USE THE CLIPS OF THOSE GAMES. SO IT WONT BE THE SAME AT ALL.
@@tonyrivera3186 We can reenact the games, get your crew...I'll get mine 😉
Was thinking the same thing
Charles Barkley has always said he is going to retire sooner than later. This mess with these Billionaires just might make him go ahead and retire from sports broadcasting.
lol; he broke too
TNT better get the job done.
I have ZERO reason to watch TNT other than the NBA. I dont even know what shows come on that damn channel lol. They are absolutely CLUELESS. 😂😂😂
Just turn into into a weekly podcast where they all get together and review the week in the NBA
Lol
They gonna try to replace them with a bunch of women this shit is getting so cringy
It might be a good idea to include a transwoman on the show. Just to balance the diversity. Do we really need a white man on the show anymore? No. Let's get rid of any white men. I'd like to add someone who can add some real flavor to the show. Maybe Whoopi Goldberg. She is a big sports advocate. Multiple Oscar winner. And she brought The View back from cancellation.
Racist! @trhansen3244
This comment is simply to give you a mega 10 thumbs up. I wholeheartedly agree brother.
Ernie's role is underrated BIG time! Dude is proverbial gel that makes the show work so smoothly.
Side note: Warner CEO, Zazlov NEVER stops paying himself HUNDREDS of millions each year. Dude has become a billionaire just on salary!! Basically, he does NOT care about if the business fails or succeeds. He wants his cut NOW!. The pure definition of greed!
If we lose Inside the NBA, we better get back the NBA on NBC theme music. Best sport intro of all time.
Round ball rock.
I don’t watch the games I just watch the after show.
I love that crew. It's the only funny people to watch and a generational show. But don't forget, undisputed, it's not the same with shanan, Steven A.
It’s simple they are funny together. It’s chemistry not personality…it’s personalities bouncing off each other. Remove one and it messes up the chemistry…it’s a package deal
Facts!!!
I don’t watch the games most of the time but I do watch their post game show. This is the only thing worth watching in the nba. They are the last nba show that’s good. I feel like they need to be apart of the NBA and without them, what do we have?
This is gonna suck! Love watching these guys on TNT. The NBA already lost van gundy and mark Jackson. And now this? Bad for Sports.
*the changes are GREAT for the NEW ERA of sports*
RIP 80's & 90's < it's time to go
(it's 2024-25)
These four are like a modern day 3 musketeers
Un-fucking-real. One of the best sports panel shows in any sport, maybe the best. Makes Fox's pre-game nightmare look like a 3 ring circus. Stupid of the NBA to throw that away.
Do you even watch the game?
@@JesusInPogForm Which one?
@@shipofthesun
Every one.
not the nba. it's turner.
-rick
@@tytsports I must be stoned.
Im actually surprised I thought Inside The NBA would moved to NBC along with the package.
they can afford it of course but this seems a pipedream.
-rick
@@tytsports True but the new TV deal doesn't take affect until 2025 so there's time.
If this happens I will definitely miss Charles, Ernie & Kenny
Yea Inside the NBA is the only reason why I watch the NBA on TV at all. Other than that I only watch game highlights on CZcams. The NBA is not good enough anymore to bother watching full games.
Gonna miss that crew.
let's hope we don't have to.
-rick
@tytsports Been such a great show for so long and never took itself too seriously. Really entertaining.
First time seeing your vids...Much respect sir on those albums behind you, Much Respect.
Ernie old school and loyal! You don’t see that these days.
I don't understand why multiple networks can't broadcast like the NFL
Shaq doesn't do anything for that show.
I don't watch basketball at all but I do watch Inside The NBA. Period point blank
No. State your point in precise terms.
@@OhhMyyDogg I used to love baseball but sll the rules changed and I'm not just that into basketball. But I do watch Inside the NBA. It keeps me informed, it cracks me up and it's the best damn show out there period. They help me to stay informed and on occasion I will try a game or two. Just because of Inside the NBA. Basketball will be no good without all the guys together. I'll never want to even try another game if my boys are gone.
@@thatblackmexican3127
I'd rather just clear the pasture. That's a pretty good metaphor.
I am sorry to compare you to the likes of a grass fed bovine animal. But it just works.
Disclaimer. I don't like Matt Rife. But I like that he has the balls to clear the pasture by telling a deliberately offensive joke.
Breaking up inside the NBA sounds like an unfortunate circumstances but an opportunity to clear the pasture of NBA Snackers who say they are leaving on an empty stomach
Hey at least if my points are subject to debate I hope its amusing enough to read through.
After reading the comments it’s clear to me that some people will blame the NBA, if this happens and NOT TNT and WBD. Just sad people don’t have an understanding of media literacy
I watch inside the NBA highlights on youtube more then the actual full games during the regular season
there lies the PROBLEM
Nbc wants that "nba on nbc" spot back & they're coming for it, HARD!! I think nbc should hold on to "inside the nba" & put a studio in atlanta, ga to keep E.J. Inside the nba would not be the same without e.j., kenny, chuck & shaq being together; PLEASE DON'T BREAK THEM UP!! Yes, shaquille o'neal is currently beefing with shannon sharpe; but he deserves to remain on inside the nba. Inside the nba IS AN AWARD AINNING SHOW FOR A REASON!! And espn would ruin inside the nba if they happened to get it!!
I missed the old days on NBC.
@@wbharvey504 they are trying to bring it back. I just want them to buy & bring the "inside the nba" crew with them.
@dwjoseph59 the game itself is not the same though. I'll be good if they play the theme song
@@wbharvey504 true, that was the best intro/cinematic type of show opening/theme song
I'm not surprised because everything amazing in today's society is slowly decaying.
fair.
-rick
I hope NBC doesn't win the bid. They will never broadcast regular season weekday games on their main channel. They'll end up dumping it to USA or CNBC.
ditto.
-rick
One of the best shows on tv
without a doubt!
-rick
I grew up on the NBA on NBC. NBC is better at the NFL. I think they could better at College Football. NBC is flat out more accessible for the game. The NBA needs NBC I think it will give them a boom.
If the public funds any bit even small,then every game should be free to all to broadcast.
Don't forget, it was Kenny and Ernie in the beginning.
those shows were craaaaaazy
-rick
That's what it should be in the end. Those two bookend clowns need to go!!
@@tytsports8
Magnificent information on this content. I didn’t know this. Because I love this show.
save the show!!!
-rick
Ernie Senior did play by play for the Braves on Turner so Ernie’s been a part of Turner almost his whole life
The only time I watch TNT is when basketball is on and that includes inside the NBA.
I will literally cancel my cable if they don't keep it
Cancel it
No you won't shut up
@@ThePrufessa I don't watch hockey and other stuff. Only NBA and the news, which I can just youtube on my tv. No point in paying for cable. with that gone.
@@Jabroni12 shut up
@@ThePrufessa lol talks shit on youtube comments, big man
They’ve gotten lazy with analysis Chuck and Ernie are the show
Just subscribed. Love the open opinion…
Shaq is way to sensitive. It’s almost gotten to the point where if someone (especially Charles) has a different take/opinion, Shaq wants to get physical. Additionally, Shaq is a terrible debater and always refers back to Charles’ lack of championship rings when the discussion gets heated.
More entertaining, more everything than any sports show on tv!!!
Mad for the crew but I’m happy it’s back on NBC just like the good old days
You happy we get good old Marv Albert back.
CBS
Espn sucks
😂😂😂😂
My guy, you are part of the culture listening to you and looking on your back wall!
Ernie is 67. I would imagine he will be retiring soon unless he wants to work forever.
Good point!🤔
IF he has plans on the table..🙄
As much as I don't like Chuck because I'm a Warriors fan, I'm huge fan of the show and will miss this if cancelled.
They gotta buy that Inside the NBA song also
Without the NBA I would never watch TNT.
I dont watch TNT anyways. No cable, Ho.
True story
not even for the yearly 24 hr marathon of The Christmas Story? Ralphie you'll shoot your eye out
These guys have ran their course Bye bye.
👍
it's time THEY go to cancun
This is why I hate contracts when it comes to TV Rights
Life goes on. It’s not the end of the world.
The show and the guys are not going any place. TNT will find the money to get a deal done.
you sound delusional my guy. If they don't have NBA games, what the hell would be the point of keeping them?
Love the show
It was rude and.unprofessional.for.Shaq to tell Jokic ASG should have won the.MVP.award.
I don’t even want to imagine a world where watching NBA games is not accompanied by periodic commentary about them big old women they got down there in San Antonio. Seriously tho, it will be a travesty is this show goes off the air.
look at the BRIGHT side, *THEY can go to cancun* 😂
TNT can not afford that kind of deal NBC is a big market they will get the best ❤❤❤
Keep Ernie and Chuck.
Kenny should stay too. He's been played to the left more now that Shaq is there, but he's an important part of the show, imo.
You're 1000000000000000% right keep the big 3!!!!@@J-Hue
Tks. much.
The show is the ONLY.. REASON.. Why I get Up in the middle of the night to watch it & It’s Iconic and insightful and entertaining to watch and learn, All for Greed.. They have Won Awards.. For Goodness Sake.. if it ain’t broke leave it alone.. DAM it ..& Mo matter What You just can’t replace knowledge.. If this happens.. I will always watch the NBA… But This is blasphemy.
Totally agree with you
it's only gonna get much,much worse 😢
i agree.
-rick
@@tytsports you're a REAL sports fan,problem is the people that run sports are not
Warner would rather give us Velma Season 2 & Suicide Squad Video Game than Inside the NBA. 👎🏼
lol true
Facts 😂
I actually never thought Shaq was a good fit. The only time he was entertaining was getting at Charles and racing Kenny to the board. His voice is not built for TV.
I know that Warner also has that
AEW (All Elite Wrestling) rights deal going on too but to lose inside the NBA would be idiotic maybe ask the owner of all elite wrestling Tony Kahn to take a lower right deal or go another network.
Agree with you 100%
NBA can’t be dumb. I believe they have smart people working in business department. They should know which channel die-hard fans tuning into: NBA on TNT, to be specific: Ernie, Chuck, Kenny the Jet, and Shaq
Nothing stays the same in life! Everything must and will change! Except the word of God🙏🏽
Amen
The word of God in the English bible translation is different than the original hebrew.
You can't be that stupid.
Love that show im old school
Don't ya love how tnt is trying and succeeding in shoving dramon green down our throats. Bad enough with candy parker...now his ass. What are they doing?
It’s turrible.
lol.
-rick
Yes! Greed is gona be the downfall of a lot of people and businesses
Amen
They have options! They can either [1] go over to NBC, with an exception of Ernie Johnson or [2] repackage inside the NBA to Inside the NHL, and they can all cover NHL games.
NBA on NBC is just better cause of their theme song, pre-game intros…
They are trying to say that black Athletes are not that profitable. TNT is about to learn how racism can affect your bottom line. When you run with racist ideologies instead of financial reality.
Zaslav needs to be OUSTED from Warner, point blank. He should have been ousted before the writers/actors strikes last year.
Because Sports are higly valued by viewers when it live, viewers are still willing to put with ads when watching it.
Standard negotiation tactic. It doesn't tell us anything about their willingness to withdraw from the negotiation process.
