The ring that Charles Barkley will be remembered for will be the ring in front of the camera 🙏 thank you CB and the crew. Thank you for all the memories and best damn sports show ever.
As a 90s kid and former hooper, I grew up on 2 iconic shows- the NBA on NBC and inside the NBA on TNT. We need to celebrate this show all season next year because I don’t think we’re gonna see another group like this again ever. Thank you for all the joy you guys have brought to all of us ✊🏽
Same bro. I stopped at the point when every team just started doing 3 points all the time and just continued watching Inside the NBA. I just started watching again bec of Denver Nuggets but now I dont know…These 4 old dudes have been the reason i stayed all these time 😢
Chuck said something I never heard from anyone else about ESPN that fans always felt a way about, they continue to throw a bunch of randoms together and then end it quickly expecting it to work out immediately, then throw some other people together to repeat the same failing process and that’s one of the reasons why fans don’t care to watch ESPN’s broadcast of games. TNT is more of a family and fans can sense and feel it, everything ESPN does seems more corporate and forced tbh
ESPN’s crews blow. Sometimes they can get close but they always have someone who is boring as all get out, and someone adversarial but not in an endearing way.
@@sc3ku they have a bunch of people trying hard to connect with the younger Millennial and Gen Z audience by using slang terms and end up sounding and looking foolish 🤦♂️
What he said about ESPN is a fact. They never give anyone a real chance to build chemistry. Looks at how much they've changed personnel in the last 5 years vs how their competitor(Inside the NBA) kept their integrity and consistency over the last 30+ years.
TNT said they werent going to show the NBA games anymore. TNT said publicly that they don’t need the NBA. Adam Silver went and got deals with people who wanted to showcase the NBA. What exactly is Adam’s fault!? TNT didn’t want the NBA.
@@MrFraiche TNT DID bid on the rights. They just didn't match Amazon's package for the C-tier deal. Amazon ante'd the bid by a lot, and TNT's parent company's owner has publicly stated he doesn't care about the NBA. He purposely lowballed because the NBA has had declining viewership over the last few years, but the NBA on TNT is still one of the most watched broadcasts and they underestimated fan support for their show. That's why they're trying to sue to match Amazon. Knowing all this, Chuck is still going to retire regardless, which he confirmed after Game 5 of the finals.
Charles is the king of on takes and not finishing a sentence before moving to the next one lol. Seriously though thanks for everything you guys are the best!
Gonna cry on the final show. Between the production, announcing crews, theme music, and most importantly the cast and show itself, NBA on TNT has been years ahead of any other studio sports show for a very long time. Especially with the nba, espn’s coverage is unwatchable. I really hope Amazon can bring the TNT guys over as NBC it way too PC to have anything or anybody interesting or entertaining working for them
Inside the nba quiet as its kept made the actual games bearable because not alot most nights to enjoy. I also believe certain players are so sensitive with what charles barkley and shaq say and they begged Adam silver to keep us away from those meanies
I love the TNT guys Ernie, Kenny, Shaq and Chuck. The time they hosted those segments are great. They enjoyed it also, but the next gen is coming. Anyway, they are all rich and achieved a lot. The next batch are still waiting and hoping. There was no screw-ups, retirement is just reality of everything.
Through everything, the one thing I can take away from this is that these guys are all stand up mfs. Chuck is a real ass dood. Love them for being real.
Man you know how man jobs I have had during the time, he has had the same job making millions, don't expect me to feel sorry for him. Nobody even cares if I lose my job.
was Barkley's contract guaranteed or is he just bitching about losing his money and pretending he cares about everyone one else, because if he is still getting paid millions per year he could afford to hire a lot of the folk he claims to care about... fax!!!
Because he feels bad for the regular workers, on set because they wont have a job. And they don't have millions of dollars like, Ernie, Shaq and Kenny.
If you had the attention span of someone who isnt a toddler, you wouldve heard that its not about the job itself but the people being affected by losing their jobs. Good try though
We wanted to see Shaq and Chuck fighting with each other when they’re really old like some barbershop scene to make us feel like America might be okay.
If Amazon regrouped The UK Top Gear Crew in the Grand Tour, I don’t see why not do the Same with inside the NBA. Ernie Refusing for being Loyal would be sorted out im sure.
They perfectly was transitioning the new show to Lefkoe [Ernie], Jamaal [Kenny] Draymond [Barkley/Shaq] . They just needed one more. D Wade wouldn't been bad.
Depressing? He said next season was his last which meant the show was finished. Now that TNT lost NBA next season will be the last. Which is exactly what would have happened in both cases. Exvept now chuck gets to be offended someone did like him.
Maybe I’m missing something here, but why can’t they still just have Inside the NBA on TNT? I know Turner has lost rights to broadcast the actual games, but why doesn’t Turner just treat it like an ESPN type thing? I mean ESPN for decades has covered the NBA and they didn’t always have rights to broadcast games. Why don’t they just run an hour show a couple times a week and cover the league’s games?
The off camera crew couldn't have possibly thought this gig would last forever. It's not the town's only factory closing. Ts not even a full years schedule !! It's a weekly TV production during the NBA season Sounds like those folks counted on an employer to retire them instead of planning ones OWN career path.
Dude came out during introductions bouncing around like a jack rabbit then after he gets bronze and have ppl hugging him and medical staff around him, he then says he has Covid. Totally disrespectful and is up there with " the dog ate my homework" as far as excuses go. The moral of this to all of us is: ALWAYS STAY HUMBLE. CONGRATS TO TEBOGO and BEDNAREK.....you guys gave us a helluva race. Tebogo your mom ( R.I.P) was watching down on you.
I'm going to missed NBA on tnt!! I know every show has to end at some point. NBA knew what they doing because 💰 talk at the end of the day. They want some of the Amazon money the way the NFL has
People know and love Charles for his high positive energy and clear headed mind. Well, this depressing tour is not helping his cause. We expected better from him to understand its simple business. Not to sound like bitter and an ex jillted former employee. TnT has given him and all others a great life when they are able to do so. The best thing he can do is to go on a grateful tour
There will still be a lot of hard working and respectful people who will be making this nba on amazon prime ting work, but without these four talking bball, im not even gonna waste my time
I hope people are now seeing just how fake this dude is. Last time he said it wasn't about the money. The very next day he was doing interviews saying he wants his money. Then yesterday he just signed an extension with TNT after telling everyone some weeks ago that this will be his last season on TV. People need to realize that this dude is fake but he gets people's sympathy because he's the "funny fat dude on TV." Like the Simpsons or Family Guy.
😴 enough already, we get it Charles you're gonna mess it,. I've never even heard say one thing Worth listening to , you're a worker like anybody else in TV, you even start defending those corporate talking points , enough of this Cringy dude already.
Charles’ greatest asset is his willingness to put himself in other peoples’ shoes.
You too emotional
@@HARVEY_1988maybe u aint emotional enough
you mean when he said rich people should have priority?
Watching NBA games won’t be the same, I used to watch shitty games on tnt just to here the inside crew talk ball/ comedy

This part 🎯
Going to be like watching TRL now
This hit different
Exactly. I would watch a bad Pistons game on League Pass as long as it's on TNT.

NBA returning to NBC is priceless but I’m going to miss Inside the NBA. NBA wants to go global media wise. Cable tv is close to being done.
I’ve slowly been losing my love for the NBA. Once the 4 of them are gone I doubt I’ll be invested in the league again
Facts I been watching more overseas basketball
Watch football ⚽️

Adam Silver made the wrong move on this one. Should have let TNT retain the rights but also let others broadcast their own content too.
TnT won't allow it, just like ernie said, he is loyal

What about Kenny 😂
@@MomoThe1 What about Kenny? He's useless.
@@zepherscottyNah Kenny’s 90% of the actual basketball analysis and he sets up all the jokes

Ernie is loyal to TNT he said he is never leaving them
It sucks but thats life thats every job nothing good lasts forever. Just enjoy you got to live through it
The best sports show ever.
#FreeInsideTheNBA, best sports show of all time in my opinion
Hope Shaq and Kenny regularly join the Steam Room podcast with Ernie and Chuck, so we can see these guys have some fun now and again
Charles is such a good person. One of my goats.
watching the nba wont be the same without the four of them... they could still make a weekly podcast or something
They should do a live podcast on game days, they’d still get millions of listeners
True and real guy, Charles always gave props to the support staff who help to make the show great but u never hear their names.
Inside the nba quiet as its kept made the actual games bearable because not alot most nights to enjoy. I also believe certain players are so sensitive with what charles barkley and shaq say and they begged Adam silver to keep us away from those meanies

It's going to be hard to say remember that show Inside the NBA on TNT 😢
NBA is not going to be the same at all
Man this sht is sad. I'm a football (soccer) guy but this show is the reason why I watched NBA for a decade.
It’s crazy to see an Emmy award winning show get cancelled, Adam silver messed up big here, big.
Through everything, the one thing I can take away from this is that these guys are all stand up mfs. Chuck is a real ass dood. Love them for being real.
All about the money man sad .. it’s what ppl have turned into legacy show but nothing lasts forever
Chuck is gonna love retirement and he will always be able to talk about basketball on UA-cam
🫡 it’s been an honour sir Charles
camera panned to PG agreeing about Chuck’s ESPN analysis
WE NEED INSIDE THE NBA PODCAST
This
everyone thinks Adam Silver is making the ultimate call on this, it's probably not lol.
i didn’t think it would end this soon
Adam Silver and the Owners messed up.
how so? you have no idea what youre talking about.
If im amazon im offering the whole tnt crew a deal
Ernie is loyal to TnT
And if I'm the TNT crew I'm showing Amazon the finger
Let's fucking go guys !!! Inside the NBA is saved !!!!!
HOW COULD THEY DO THE FANS LIKE THIS 😭 Lifelong hoopers know this is the show right here man
Give em a mil Charles
the best part of the NBA is NBA TNT and now their gone, NBA is not the same anymore, this much sadder than a lockout season
Man you know how man jobs I have had during the time, he has had the same job making millions, don't expect me to feel sorry for him. Nobody even cares if I lose my job.
Recently at some podcast, the host showed Shaq the 1-2-Back to 1 clip. Shaq still salty about that. Mr Sensitive 🤣
was Barkley's contract guaranteed or is he just bitching about losing his money and pretending he cares about everyone one else, because if he is still getting paid millions per year he could afford to hire a lot of the folk he claims to care about... fax!!!
Could we have one episode without whoever the red LA hat guy is?
Oh well. I never forgot about how much you and shaq went in on Kyrie.
Remember Whole Foods before Amazon?… that’s going to be the NBA when their dementors clear house
Every episode should have a San Antonio joke and Galveston.
I’ll miss inside the nba swear
An I know I’ll miss chuck most
Between this and this streaming only BS I will not be the fan I once was. This is short sighted by the NBA. This is a huge step backwards.
Gonna miss the fellas 😢
Not too long ago the man said he was going to retire and maybe not finish his contract now they took the shit away from him he's depressed
Because he feels bad for the regular workers, on set because they wont have a job.

NBA on TNT was the only thing TNT ever had thats worth watching
Growing up they had some pretty good movies for basic television on.
They should remake the show themselves and host it off UA-cam and x
NBA doesn’t realize that u can’t just replace the most beloved sports show ever with the most hated company in the world
i dont even watch games i just watch inside the nba

the show is GOAT. the MLB show on tnt is great as well, mush better than espn /fox crap.

off topic but why iverson look like that on his shirt though?
Am a scouser we love jur football never been into basketball but this show is unbelievable splitting a family apary absolute american treasures
There no way there not a clause saying they can match abc ESPN offer or any other competitors
