My goodness Mr. Letterman is just super natural, looks great at this show Legend. Miss watching his late night show. TNT thanks for brining him in this time ❤
Dave is a touch point for a whole generation of folks who followed him starting from his Mork and Mindy days. Go back and watch his work there if you ever feel like you can't turn things around... lol.
@@BH-gh6qm Yea this segment seemed super awkward, when Letterman says "no one cares" at 8:13 it seemed like he was genuinely upset for some reason. The jokes weren't very good (didn't even really seem like jokes tbh, most top tier TV comedians at least know setup-punchline format so the support staff know when to laugh and react, but this didn't even have obvious laugh moments for the cohosts). There were other moments where Letterman seemed genuinely in a bad mood which is such a major mistake for a TV presenter.
Kinda disappointing because Dave is really funny, and so are the TNT guys. But this was just a weird segment, there was way too many of the rule changes, they should have done something different too.
I'm 54 years old. I remember babysitting at the neighbour's house and watching Letterman as a young kid. The man was viciously funny back then. Now he is a simple teddy bear of a man. Long live David Letterman....
@@ericebeling3255wow must have been really interesting watching him go from that to hitting the big time . I actually just saw two episodes of him in a Mary Tyler Moore variety show from before he hit the big time . They're both here listed by the same title : Mary ( unaired) 1978 . They also have a very young Michael Keaton in them .
What a pleasant surprise seeing letterman join inside the nba. The man still has some of the best comedy chops I’ve ever seen. Just brilliant. Hope he’s involved in more content going forward.
Being 40, I always thought David Letterman was the best late night talk that was on at the time. How Leno beat him in the ratings always left me fucking astounded. Glad to see him on this show.
NBC affiliates aired Leno right after the local news. CBS affiliates-only about 70% at times. And Jay had higher profile guests being based in L.A. And Letterman put a lot of people off with "weird" comedy where Leno played it down the middle.
Some of the best Dave I’ve seen, and who would’ve thought it would come after almost 10 years off the air. Incredibly quick-witted, great timing, working the whole bit from start to finish…. Feels like classic Dave comedy.
Haa Haa LOL for a split second when I saw the thumbnail I thought it was " PHIL JACKSON " and Not David Letterman . Since Phil is a basketball celebrity and David a comedian , it would make sense for Phil to be on a basketball sports show . David's looks sure have changed a lot over the years.
Once again David Letterman makes everything better no matter what it is. These are such great ideas though he might even get ME out to see a game! I have watched everything he's done since the first OLD show. Rock on Mo Fo!
PR announcement incoming: I think he is the NBA's apparel sponsor next year through his company World Wide Pants. I'm guessing they will do shorts and tops as well taking over from Nike who will continue to do shoe deals with individual players. Inside sources liken Letterman's deal with the NBA to Drake's deal with the Raptors through his OVO company. Note: I'm trying to will this idiocy into existence... ;)
I’ll be honest…Kenny is the worst part of this crew. Glorified role player who always thought he was more important than he actually is. Nice dude, just completely oblivious
1. No more 3 pt line. Every basket is 2 pts. 2. No more free throws. The team that is fouled keeps possession at half court. Same number of fouls per player. 3. Coach can challenge a call. 3 times per half. Failed challenge costs a time out. Reviewed by video.
Lol you could see that Kenny’s a big fan, he was like an excited kid, so he was trying hard to impress Dave with his comments and jokes… but you have to leave that to the professionals
Actually 8:29 is brilliant. The penalty ends when/if the other team scores, just like in hockey. But rather than standing by yourself at a line, you actually have to execute a play until you score. And if you don't the 5 on 4 ends after 2 minutes. Love it!
for anyone who doesn't know, this is the person who asked kevin durant "so why do they call you KD?" because it seems like a large part of the internet now doesn't know that it was david letterman making a joke haha
Years after I graduated from Broad Ripple High School in Indianapolis, IN., I was surprised to learn that Mr. Letterman was a Notable alumni. Along with: Rosevelt Colvin 2× Super Bowl champion (XXXVIII, XXXIX), Wayne Gretzky..... just to name a few. ☺☺☺
The thing is most in not all on this list sound pretty feasible and kinda good. That shows how broken the NBA in its present state IMO -Make it take it -Different rim height every quarter - mascott free throw in 4th qtr (that eliminates game fixing by refs in 4th) Comedic ways help NBA be taken more seriously.
My aunt was the guitarist for letterman’s show for 23 years!!! Felicia Collins
Great musician.
I remember her, she was great.
She was a great part of the worlds most dangerous band
Wow. She was amazing on that show!
Nice, what did she think about Dave?
Implementing "make it take it" in the All Star game is actually genius!
Something we grew up doing in the Bahamas as kids and teenagers!
Isn't it!
I like that idea a lot!
Then we really get to see which team doesn't care more.
It would encourage defense
My goodness Mr. Letterman is just super natural, looks great at this show Legend. Miss watching his late night show. TNT thanks for brining him in this time ❤
I love this man so much. I used to watch his show every night. Hope he comes back at some point.

All his rules werent funny at all. I hope he didnt write them himself.
Lame, like his show was when he moved to CBS. At least Paul Shaffer wasn't there!

Ask him about the San Antonio team 😂😂😂
That was a gold mine waiting to be picked 😂😂

NBC Letterman was savage 😂
The man called Shaq a "mofo." To his face. And Shaq just sat there, shaking, while everyone laughed. That old guy still has teeth.
I'm old enough to remember when he started with a low budget morning show.

“Let me know when the ubers here” is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😂😂😂😂😂
love david letterman, glad to see him looking as good as he does.
The scene of Letterman trying on Shaq’s coat is a extra wild when you realize Letterman is like 6’4.
Dave’s 6’1” bruh.
6:47 LMAO. Them San Antonio women go hard in the paint.
Saw him and Paul with my mother while we were both deployed in Iraq, Christmas eve 2004. Absolute legend.
Paul... the pride and joy of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Well, Paul and NHL superstar Walt Poddubny. But, yeah... Paul.
🍪
@@DESOUSABI remember Walt. Was sad to hear when he passed so young. He was a really good hockey player. Saw him play when he was with the Nordiques.
@@johnhuxley165 Jeebus - I had to look that up. I didn't know the man passed at 49 years old in 2009. Much too young...
YALL PPL need more DAVID LETTERMAN
In this instance? No. It just wasn’t funny
Wasn't ever. Maybe worth occasional smirk. Had great band and guests but man dude just not funny.
What a pleasant surprise seeing letterman join inside the nba. The man still has some of the best comedy chops I’ve ever seen. Just brilliant. Hope he’s involved in more content going forward.
I smiled the whole time watching this.
David Letterman is such a natural broadcaster. Takes over any set effortlessly - but with class!

David Letterman is the Goat of talk shows! Got nothing but respect for that man
Conan
Letterman was actually known to be a terrible interviewer at the time. He interjected a lot.
Kimmel is the absolute extreme of it.
It's Conan, but I certainly consider Letterman as the Bill Russell of talk show hosts.
Carson is the goat imo

@@iyencarter3997 he's very aware who david letterman is. he knows he is joking. I don't think he was butthurt, he said that to continue the joke
Always good to see Letterman on TV
8:17 he stole my tie ... Dave turns slowly, looks at Shaq and yells, "Mofo!"" Bwhahaha😂
Letterman out here looking like Phil Jackson 😂😂😂😂
It's so good to see Letterman so active since he retired from the show in 2015. He looks great and hasn't lost a step. Still super sharp!
I'm not sure if that was David though 🤔
Great to see Dave. He was a huge part of many Americans. GIF bless him and the Inside The NBA crew.
Haa Haa LOL for a split second when I saw the thumbnail I thought it was " PHIL JACKSON " and Not David Letterman . Since Phil is a basketball celebrity and David a comedian , it would make sense for Phil to be on a basketball sports show . David's looks sure have changed a lot over the years.
Letterman killed this segment, in a good way!
I don't like his new teeth, though. That gap in the middle of his two front teeth was a trademark over the years........
David is from Indiana, so it still makes sense.
That old guy pretending to be Santa was pretty funny
That is a PROFESSIONAL right there.
2:58 that tap from shaq to ernie
Letterman never disappoints. I am so glad he is staying active in the media. We still love you Dave!
The amount of silent laughing I had to do watching this in the office was criminal 😂
this is epic. dave is an absolute living legend
first time kenny smith looked tall on the show
And David is not a short guy!
Yeah, Letterman is 6’2”
What about against the 3 point shooter guy?
Dave is a Legend though💪🏾.. im 47 i used to watch his Late Show after the news went off when i was a kid, since like 5 years old..lol
Dave thank you for grooming that beard brother - we love you!
David Letterman, what a legend.

two of the best host
I laughed out loud when said to tell him when the uber was there haha
David Letterman is my generation's David Letterman
we need Letterman back on TV, bro gives so much love to race car drivers on national TV
Wow nice stuff was there tonight!! Greetings from Chicago
Man David Letterman is the hero we don't deserve. I mean, the Nba doesn't deserve. But the man just solved the ASG puzzle.
Chuck checking is the donut is real to eat it ahaha
When someone says "That was comedic" during your joke, it is ANYTHING but comedic 😂😂😂

i like the last suggestion..mascots take the free throws
Thought it was the zen phil jackson for a sec😅
“Adam Silver approached me because he knows I’m from Indiana 😂”
Kids don't know how great Letterman's show was every single night
My GOAT. Miss you Dave. Thank you for teaching me Western pop culture. I owe you my livelihood.
I see current NBA talk clips? I scroll.
I see current NBA talk clips with Letterman? I click.
kenny just steps all over any momentum this segment had
It's what he's best at.
I never thought I would agree with Kenny, but each missed 3 pointer being deducted from the shooting teams score sounds fantastic.
7:27 "Can you come to a meeting?" 🤣🤣
I’ll be honest…Kenny is the worst part of this crew. Glorified role player who always thought he was more important than he actually is. Nice dude, just completely oblivious
…he’s not even very nice haha

Is this a joke like Dave’s?
The last one was the best lmao
I like the idea of any missed 3 pointer deducts a point. That'd be fun to try.
The hockey 5 on 4 rule for 2:00 penalties is an awesome idea actually..
Ernie's face at 7:00 says it all. Lol 😂
Leave the jokes to the professionals Kenneth
These ideas are awesome, especially the rim one!!!
I was 22 when this aired. By that time I had been watching Letterman for 7 or 9 years. Legend.
David Letterman is the best all time late night talk show host. They'll be another guy as funny & creative as this guy.
The San Antonio joke…the gift that keeps on giving…
David Letterman is a genius!!
"I just like being on TV" lol this was great. Thank you Dave!
David was a little annoyed by kenny haha
Who isn't lol
Lol you could see that Kenny’s a big fan, he was like an excited kid, so he was trying hard to impress Dave with his comments and jokes… but you have to leave that to the professionals
Poor Kenny, Shaq and Chuck had been on Letterman numerous times and Dave knows them well. He just wants to fit in, but just sounds annoying.
Replace Kenny with Letterman. Permanent!
Aren't we all anymore?

But was that David though 🤔 🤔🤔

Shaq's San Antonio women joke just evaporated...
The was great. Funny as hell. Letterman is the man! :)
Daaaaave 🥰 so good to see him
Dave trimmed his beard! Looks good.
(knowing David's history)
Letterman: You have a nice workplace environment
Translation- You have some great looking interns
"Oh no it's not the last one. Wishful thinking." 💀. Fits right in by just wanting to go home lolol.
wow great segment

Player makes a halfcourt shot in the 4th quarter can be the big equalizer when they are playing 4 on 5.
Why were they playing music while he was talking? So distracting.
They play this music every time during EJ’s Neato, although I agree this time it sounds a little louder than usual…
Great segment!
They should’ve roasted Kenny by asking him where the video of his Letterman interview was at lol
The goofy circus music unironically makes me enjoy these guys talking even more😂
Letterman just doing side quest
I love this so much!
