ESPN is not going to change the show, they are just airing the show!! They will not work for ESPN, they are still going to be working for Turner sports!! Everything about inside the NBA will be the same, the only thing that’s changing the tv network instead of TNT, it’s ESPN!!
Would be a shame but I don't see it happening. Chuck doesn't conform to guildlines, they conform to him. Love Ernie and the rest of the crew but Barkley is the reason they're the best show in all of NBA media.
@@whiskeyhoarder9587wrong, espn didn’t buy the show they just agreed to a deal to license it. Turner still owns the show and controls the content, espn just airs it. It’s the same deal the pat mcafee show signed with espn. Idk if you watch the pat mcafee show but almost nothing has changed besides the fact that they have to abide by cable television rules, this show is already on cable so literally nothing about their content or humor will change.
Don’t worry, he doesn’t work for espn. This isn’t espn buying the show, it’s espn agreeing to license the show. Turner still owns the show and controls the content, it just airs on espn. Which means no Chuck won’t be on first take, sports center, and all that bs because he doesn’t have a deal with espn and he’s technically not an espn employee.
Barkley kept leveraging the possibility of his retirement to negotiate higher salaries. Eventually, ESPN presented him with an offer that was too good to pass up. Clever strategy on his part!"
@@kimking5928 Obviously he will get paid. It is all about negotiation. Before every deal, he would start saying I am retiring now. Everyone knows the show is nothing without him. That's how he negotiates. I didnt say there is anything wrong with that.
It's not about the money though, he said he would retire unless everyone keeps their jobs and Ernie stays in TNT, they got EVERYTHING they asked, everyone keeps their jobs, Ernie stays under TNT since they will still produce the show (but will be shown in ESPN) and Chuck will be Chuck he already have the 200M contract anyways, he's gonna get paid regardless but wanted the show to stay.
For everyone who’s saying espn is gonna change the show, they aren’t. They didn’t buy the show lmao. They agreed to license the show, but Turner sports still owns the show and controls the content. It will just air on espn next year. It’s the exact same deal the Pat McAfee Show signed with espn. The content won’t change, the people controlling the content won’t change, it will just be on espn now. Anyone who watches PMS knows the show hasn’t really changed since joining PMS. On top of that: Chuck, Ernie, Shaq, and Kenny are not ESPN employees. They will not be appearing on every ESPN show because they are not employees of espn. Just like Pat, Pat also does college gameday but that’s a separate deal than the PMS show licensing.
Absolutely. The benefit I guess is that they can get ESPN employees to come on their show without any contract issues, same with Pat’s show. But of course it’s up to them.
Espn only shows Pat show for maybe an hour or two but then Pat continues his show on YT. For the time slot allowed on ESPN, Pat turns it down just a bit but once they off air they say whatever they want.
I’m thrilled that the show will survive, but I can only imagine how the farewell tour would have gone with all the flashbacks and interviews throughout the season
Im so glad ESPN and TNT worked out a deal to save this show! This show is the one of the few good things that keeps me interested with the NBA since Seattle doesn't have a team, yet.
This show is just unbelievable... .there is no ego about "who's more important" in the show, they all laugh their assess off as we do while they bully each other...they talk shop when they have to, they clearly enjoy being there... they reminisce the good old days in the NBA which they all played at, and then you have the glue that sticks it all together, Ernie Johnson. No other show can do this.
This is just awesome. I think everyone knew this show needed to go on so glad the politics and bs got sorted out to make it happen. Watching Nba wouldnt be the same without this crew
ESPN just bought the licensing to the show so they can air it. It actually makes sense. Instead of having to build a show that may or may not work they get a certified hit and don't have to pay their own staff. They literally just buy it (rent really) from TNT.
Wrong. He doesn’t work for espn, the show isn’t owned by espn. It’s still owned by turner and turner still controls the content, the only change is that it will air on espn next year. It’s not a buyout, it’s a licensing deal. It’s the same deal the pat mcafee show did with espn. Pat still owns the show and controls the content, it just airs on espn. That show had to make some changes, but not because of espn. It was because of the switch from internet show to cable, they had to start abiding by FCC guidelines. So they couldn’t drop F bombs and AJ couldn’t smoke cigars live on air, other than that it’s basically the same exact show. Since inside the nba is already on cable, they literally won’t have to change anything, and most importantly ESPN CANT TELL THEM TO CHANGE ANYTHING. Any changes made will be done by the show agreeing to make changes, it will not be forced by espn like you pretend.
The big issue with ABC/ESPN for years has been their incessant need to throw ad breaks into the halftime show every three minutes, giving their presenters no time to breathe. This in stark contrast with TNT, who gave their guys plenty of room to actually discuss the first half with a bit of depth, without sounding rushed or resorting to hot take soundbites. I have to think that's gonna change now...there's no way Inside the NBA could work in those ultra small windows.
If you’ve seen Inside The NBA, you know there’s two rotations of cast. I think the secondary cast is gonna alternate between ESPN personalities and the TNT alternates. But Shaq, Ernie, Jet and Charles will always have their own time……. And the Finals.
I just hope it doesn’t become one of those things that ESPN tries to change everything and we as fans notice that something’s different and don’t like it… then we wish that it actually did end
Charles on ESPN Deportes: "Muy bien gracias. "😂
LOL 😆 BEST COMMENT HE DID SAY THAT LOL 😂 IM JUST GOING TO LEAVE IT AT THAT I LOVE THIS SHOW
necessito una churro por favor

Thank You. Lots of people on here don’t understand that.
Its called leverage.
Disney can go to thwm and say "put my sponsors or we take you out or slot you in a bad time"
@chuza_97 and then subscribers will have leverage and cancel their services once ESPN takes Inside the NBA off the air
@@chuza_97yeah they will put them
On ESPN OCHO
They’ll work for ESPN genius
Barkley threatened to quit/retire because he didn’t want the staff to lose their jobs! Who would do that?!
He does the same thing for 2k using his likeness. He never agrees because himself and the players are not compensated enough.
A person who can afford it.

You want these guys to keep doing this show while they all are senile? Pull the plug and give them a good ending for Christ sake.

Shut up
@@butchmagnus6246do you even know what senile is clown? They havent changed for years. Nowhere near senile.
@@butchmagnus6246who tf you calling senile? If they want to continue they continue. Ultimately it’s their choice
Calling it now ESPN is gonna try to make adjustments to the show and it won’t feel the same
Hope not they gonna stay in Atlanta its ernie johnsons house
They haven’t touched Pat macafee stuff yet and he’s been very vocal about it. No way they listen either. You can’t change greatness.
Would be a shame but I don't see it happening. Chuck doesn't conform to guildlines, they conform to him. Love Ernie and the rest of the crew but Barkley is the reason they're the best show in all of NBA media.
Way to ruin the plot 😂
Nope dey won't read the article
