  • NBA fans just received some Devastating news…
    After thirty long years of being on the air, Inside the NBA is being canceled because the Turner network lost the rights to air NBA coverage to Amazon.
    But why would the NBA cancel their most popular show?
    And is there any hope left that the “Inside Crew” may survive the drastic ownership change?
    Or will Charles Barkley put the kibosh in all of it

    Shaq absolutely did not turn the show into "Must See TV". If anything he dumbed it way down while at the same time providing some comic relief, but only as Chuck's (completely unwitting) punching bag.
    Ernie and Chuck have just been too good to let Shaq's narcissism and stupidity seriously impact the show.

    Disgusting, filthy Millionaires are gambling about the rights to show the NBA? Screw it!
    Why not just have the show without the NBA footage - Just the guys talking... They are sometimes more interesting and thrilling than any NBA game nowadays.
    Something like open court on TNT.
    SometimesNBA games are so lame (due to the new rules), it doesn't even matter if they show a game or not. But people want to see THE GUYS talking Basketball! Guaranteed success even without the NBA footage.

      The hosts are paid $20m a year to joke around and do very little, it's absurd and the video leaves that out. There are youtubers doing a better job getting paid peanuts compared to them. Most overpaid people in the history of television! Remember when people were outraged about the Friends cast getting $18m/year each? They got 30m people watching! Inside the NBA got 1m most of the time, and the vast majority of people were tuning in for the game, not the hosts.

      ​@valleyshrew the problem is that you've made a false correlation where effort is supposed to equal value. If the show is entertaining then it doesn't matter how hard they work. Their pay is based ratings metrics not quantity of product. An UA-camr might work their behinds off but if that doesn't translate to views then it's pointless.

    Decca Records rejected the Beatles, saying that "they felt guitar groups are on the way out" and "the Beatles have no future in show business." The Portland Trailblazers did not draft MJ & instead drafted a player who later became one of the worst busts in the history of the NBA. Albert Einstein was turned down by many colleges and universities for a teaching position, one of which even suggested that Einstein should consider shifting to another field and selling insurance.

      pretty much every fan outside the US watches on ESPN through cable, or NBA league pass these days. i've been a Celtics fan since 1980, first through games recorded on VHS and mailed by a mate from NYC to London, UK. then through ESPN on cable, and for the past decade on league pass. streaming help expand access to NBA games massively, so much so there are more non-US fans, than the entire US market, and we don't have to wait until a game ends because ABC or whoever has dibs on the game; the international league pass has no blackout restrictions.

    The reason is because the NBA on TNT is critical of the product, not just the players. Inside the NBA's competitors don't actually rip on players and the product, they just waffle around the celeb culture and maybe one or two outrage takes, but when Barkley and Shaq talk, the players' and the league's feelings get hurt because of the authority they both have as former players of the game.

    11:40 I disagree with that statement, if Inside the NBA is over, NBA will lose alot of fans. NBA has been very hard to watch in recent years, players are soft and lack of desire to compete, the all star game is a good indicator that players just want to chill and relax. Only a few players would try and play hard these days, which I cant blame them, they are in their 20s, n already have generational wealth. The only reason I keep up with NBA is cuz of inside the NBA, not saying everyone is, but quite a lot of people are. So, Im keen to see how NBA goes moving forward.

      From my research - it's definitely possible but not super likely
      Barkley said they could keep the show going under with Amazon but they would have to keep the entire TNT studio team. Also, apparently Ernie won't leave Atlanta regardless of any payday with AMZ. But theoretically Chuck, Ernie, Shaq and Kenny could open their own "studio" hire the exact same staff, sell the rights to AMZ (who would be dumb not to accept) and keep the show going for a few years. But they are also getting to retirement age so this might just be the writing on the wall

      @@HenryHoops Barkley said on Dan Patrick the show would continue on TNT with him (and presumably the rest of the crew) in some form, just without a live NBA broadcast complement. He’s said that a few times now.
