Inside the NBA is literally the reason why so many of us even tune into the games.
My favorite Celeb and I'm anti Celeb. We'd probably come to blows if we ever met but I love the guy on the court and in the studio. lol
Facts 💯
No . Charles is real the rest bore me. Charles js rich , real stress is little money facing unemployment with a family and old
facts
@@Honestly__nowbeat it geezer
I don't even watch NBA games anymore... But I watch every inside the NBA video on TH-cam
Me too
Same
Yeag
Yup same here
Not even the finals?
Inside the NBA is more entertaining than the game
Nope.
@@DrPhill96yes it is
@@DrPhill96the NBA used to be a fun game to watch before it was completely rigged after the 99 lock out
@@RoyPage1970 - Not at all.

Nba coverage on TNT is MILES and MILES above NBA on ESPN.
I want all games on TNT
easy
Can’t stand SAS and his blow hard opinions. He claims his knowledge on the nba is so vast, I’m sick of his shtick.
the way ESPN covers the NBA is trash
you're right...literally incomparable
The only good thing about ESPN coverage is Mike Breen
If this happens, it will be the saddest day in NBA history. I literally watch re-runs every day. There's nothing like their bond.
well for me it was when NBC lost the NBA rights to TNT and now itll be the opposite lol
@@mariogallego5513what was better about nbc’s? (never seen their version before)
I know. I grew up watching this show since ernie and the rest came along. It aint the same without the 4 horsemen.
Nah, the saddest is when Kobe died, this will be the 2nd saddest
Great show for sure.
Chuck is very humble, telling everyone Ernie is the most important person on the crew.
He’s humble but he’s not wrong. Chuck’s the face of the show and Ernie’s the glue, in my opinion atleast
@oneoctaveabove Charles isn't wrong but you definitely are
@@CJ-zp7qj 👍🏾
Chuck and Shaq are the reason most people watch (myself included) but I think Ernie is working the hardest of the four. He has the near impossible task of juggling three strong, but disparate personalities who all love to talk. Making sure everyone gets a word in, making sure things don’t go off the rails or people say things they shouldn’t, making sure they get to break on time and even calming down arguments on occasion. Live TV isn’t easy
He lying though
Well we definitely know Chuck ain’t going to ESPN if he’s a free agent
Heck no plus he's too real and they would hate it
He won’t go because they’re gonna work him like a dog there 😂😂😂 he even said it himself 😂
And also sure that Skip Bayless isn't gonna poach him. 😂
"they not gonna work me like a dog and not pay me"
They should hire Chuck at least a day and make him beat Skip
Inside the NBA is the best show. My favorite & don’t want to see it go. Barkley, Shaq, Kenny, & Ernie are the best together
It depends on Turner's end, not the people on the show. With how David Zaslav has handled with the affairs on WB's end, he has cost jobs & lost projects that will never see the light of day & or prevent certain projects from being streamed ever again that have already ended, just ask the folks in the animation industry
Charles carries that team, Ernie is a good 2nd. Shaq has his moments and Kenny is as useless as he has been on every team.
@@ChessJourneyman That line about Kenny was ice cold. 😂🥶
Great chemistry among these four.
@@ChessJourneyman i cant stand kenny smith and his incessant repeating stupid catch phrases during all star weekend
inside is one of the rare few shows where the PRODUCTION TEAM have such visible imprint on each show. it isn't just the four guys that make this show work to the quality it is
Truer words never been said
It’s so true ., it’s a huge team effort . it’s the best thing going for all involved including us fans …
This is like Top Gear. There’s no Inside the NBA without all four of them
Are you English ? Or does British tv reach where you live ? I’m intrigued.
@@leroygunnerman6340Top gear is aired internationally, you don't have to be in the UK to watch BBC.
@@leroygunnerman6340 Everyone watched Top Gear. There was that special where they drove through a city in Lebanon and all these local people flocked around James May calling him "Captain Slow" in English.
Dude Top Gear UK with Hammond, May, clarkson was huge in the US.
They were fine without Shaq.
Ernie is the super glue of the three of them...
That's because he was there before any of them
It feels weird when Shaq or Chuck are missing from a show but it's an entirely different show if Ernie's not there
@@TheMasterpiecePDYes, and 0 people want to see Lefkoe as host, like Dan proposed.
Ernie is not going to be the reason why and is not the reason why people tune in or laugh.
@@slymcfly123 you must not see the difference when Lefkoe hosts
Inside the NBA is like an American institution at this point. It would be a huge loss for NBA fans if that show went away. And I think NBC might be surprised at the backlash that comes with being the ones that ended it.
You can't blame NBC… it's business life goes on lol
I think ABC recovered pretty well when MNF went to ESPN
NBC’s deal with the NBA is $2.8 billion annually. TNT can’t match that. It would be great if NBC hired Shaq, Ernie, Kenny and Charles, but I think Charles is the only free agent. The other 3 are contractually tied to TNT.
@@yell0wberry ABC and ESPN are owned by the same company: Disney, so they’re not in competition with each other.
@@nicklubrino2606 but only if you looked within my comment instead of commenting so fast, the difference in this move would be going from free TV to cable television
Man this would be a sad day if something happened to Inside the NBA smh... Man
I would get over it.
it would be sad but we had a such a long time with that team. Just glad they are healthy and alive especially when Ernie had that cancer scare.
Inside the NBA with Barkley, Shaq, Kenny, & Ernie is the best show during basketball season. The only show that I watch. I wish they could do all of the games.
NBA should purchase the right to Inside the NBA from TNT and impose the format (and the crew) to whoever wins the broadcasting bid.
Ernie is not leaving TNT
What format? It's the people. What you gonna do, force them to work where they don't want to?
They should just put it on NBA TV.
@@declaytor i heard that part. But it wouldnt be unheard of if he made a deal to do say 40 regular season game days and 25 post season game days on a network other than Turner.
@@dieselgoinhamthey don’t own it
Inside the NBA on TNT is my only source for NBA content.
There is plenty of action on the Internet.
NBA viewership takes a massive hit if Inside the NBA is gone. Chuck is the GOAT of sports commentators.
I love how they’re always clowning Shaq and Chuck!!!!😂
I’m addicted to INSIDE THE NBA, hope they stay together
Inside the NBA is a part of television history at this point. People that don’t watch basketball tune in just to watch these guys! There’s no way the NBA can lose them! If they do, NBA will drop HUGELY.
NBA deserves it
Ive been watching since the 90s. All good things come to an end. Ending this show would be terrible for tnt and the NBA.
That's what people said when the NBA left NBC. Personally I think the promotions were better when it was on NBC.
@@declaytorThank you
@@declaytorand NBC is local TV, so more people can watch without waste of money thats cable.
Inside the NBA featuring these guys are the best thing in NBA. Their insights and comments are more credible than other analysts.
For context: The NBA is about to DOUBLE their TV earnings after the 2024-25 season (according to the Wall Street Journal). Disney (owners of ABC/ESPN) currently pay $1.5 bill/year and Warner (owners of TNT) pays $1.2 bill/year for rights to NBA games. After 2024-25, Disney is about to pay $2.6 BILL per year for their slate of games.
Warner was supposed to agree to a new deal, but they didn't make a good offer in time for their "right of first refusal" period (which ended last week)...which allowed outsiders to put in their bid. NBCUniversal (owners of NBC and Peacock) just put in a $2.6 BILL/year bid to show games on their network. Warner still has time to match NBC's offer --- because if they don't, they will lose TNT AND "Inside the NBA".
If that wasn't enough -- after the 2024-25 season although Disney and either Warner or NBCUniversal will be paying more for games per year, they will actually broadcast LESS NBA games. That's because the NBA left room for a streaming partner to stream some games --- like the NFL does. Right now, Amazon has reached a tentative agreement to stream several NBA games when the new TV deal kicks in. This will allow the NBA to be broadcast all over the world (at least the games Amazon picks up). TH-camTV is trying to get some games, but it's unlikely.
Also, IF NBCUniversal does get the contract away from Warner, several things will likely happen: NBC wants to broadcast several games DURING the NBA finals alongside ABC, and NBC wants to showcase several Conference finals games on their STREAMING network Peacock.
Question. Only if you have time. Sorry
- What do you mean by lose TNT? I get they'd lose Inside the NBA, but why would Warner lose a whole channel if they don't match an NBA deal?
- Would it not be obvious that they won't match? I'm guessing that they didn't agree on an offer below the $2.6B (or else it would have been signed already), so even less likely that they will suddenly agree now that the minimum offer has to be at least $2.6B to match NBCs right?
- Amazon wants games to stream them in Amazon Video? So it would be free for everyone with Prime already? Or does Amazon have another pay to use streaming service?
- Lastly, is there already a breakdown of how many games they'd force you to get peacock to watch vs how many there will be in regular channel 4? Or not? ... Are they even gonna have the games on channel 4? Or are they gonna use another of their TV channels?
Thanks bro🙏🏼
Thank you for the explanation of the situation
merci for the summary/breakdown!
Disney once again ruining entertainment in all shaoe and forms, this is thier greed and this will be the downfall of the nba, nba is gonna turn into a disney ads revenue the star's will be force to do ads for thier woke movie's and yes I am well aware disney had always had Rights for the nba but this will literally double down
Inside the NBA is the best of the best. There’s not a single NBa show that comes close.
If they lose to NBC, their last Gon' Fishin segment would feature all 4 of them on the fishing boat 😂
Underdog Put that on a tshirt
YES!!😂
Billboard material.
Why cant they take the rights from ESPN and have NBC and TNT do the games like in the 90s????
Right. NBA must get rid of ESPN.
Hoping that NBC and TNT get the rights.
I only watch the NBA on TNT. It’s the only network that both doesn’t take things too seriously and actually focuses on basketball.
Inside the NBA on TNT is the best ... I mean you watch the games and you enjoy the analysis and all the fun with the guys .. it's a crime if this show ends in this way .. I wish them all the best
Shaq doesn’t need the money from TNT. He’s making more money now than he did when he played basketball. He’s got icy hot he’s got the general he’s got Papa John’s. He’s got Epson printers, etc..
Rebok
he is an insane capitalist tho, bro isnt saying no to money
Ikr barkley up here talkin about how he scared n chit
Like dam nothing lasts forever an yall multi millionaires just man up wtf lmfao
@@DREADEYE_KNIGHT Not everything is about money. He is scared of losing the job he loves.
Can’t forget carnival cruise line too
I think everyone wants TNT to keep the NBA. Because The NBA on TNT team is the best announce team for basketball. They should be The Finals announce team.
Inside the NBA is 75% of the reason i follow the nba closely
DAMN ... NBA ON TNT IS THE BEST SHOW.
I watch NBA only to see this iconic show…I love these guys 😢
Inside the NBA's 4 talents are honest, knowledgeable and entertaining - unlike other basketball shows that create sensationalized gossip.
It’s a clown show. Entertaining as hell though.
It will never be the same if they're not complete 😢
ESPN’s coverage of the NBA is weak as hell.
That NBA on NBC theme song during the playoffs is soooo iconic!!
That is one of the best theme songs I’ve ever heard in sports, it’s synonymous with the song fox plays when the NFL is about to come on, and when Monday night football is about to start
Yessir!!!
I liked it MUCH better in the 80s, on CBS. I hated the NBA on NBC. It was just an entire decade of Ahmad Rashad kissing Jordan's ass.
@susanstamboulian646 Lol it’s funny, I was born at the tail ended of the ‘80s so I don’t remember them obviously but I remember the NBA on NBC theme song and seeing the old CBS clips and thinking they sucked. It’s true that Ahmad and everyone else kissed MJ’s ass (he earned it), and that Marv Albert being a creep kinda tainted my memory of it, but it was pretty awesome at the time. When Jordan came back in ‘95, while my home team had Shaq, that shit was very exciting to me as a 1st or 2nd grader lol, and there is no doubt that the NBA on NBC theme song of that area is the GOATEST sports theme song of all sport all time, kinda like Whitney Houston’s Star Spangler Banner performance from a few years earlier was the greatest IMO (I heard she’d pre-recorded part of it, but I have to say the sound engineer who pulled it off is a genius because it sounded live and I’m a musician with a good ear for bullshit (it’s rampant today, yuck). Anyway, the ‘80s always seemed like a weird time that I was glad was over as a ‘90s kid lol.
IF THEY DO GO TO NBC...IF THEY AIN'T GOT THAT 90s NBA on NBC theme nobody watchin it!
People behind the scenes of Inside the NBA will also be hurt…
Actually it’s ALWAYS the behind the scenes folks who lose out in these things when rights change networks. They’re unemployed and depending on who the new rights holder is, they may not get picked up and/or be able to afford the move, relocating with a spouse who has to find new work too, etc. just the dark side of the business. Everyone worries about the “personalities” on screen but they’ll be doing great no matter what happens
it's hard to find a gig like Inside too. where can you find bts people laughing being part of a mainstream show? You got producers getting called out on air, editors with fast triggers on the meme pics. It's such a special genuine show.
TNT is toast without NBA.
Chuck, don’t placate Dan with the Shaq impression.
SIR CHARLES… YOU.. are why we watch.. you are the perfect example of what VIEWERS love
Very interesting to hear Chuck talk about this situation. Really hope the crew stay together but that’s only possible if TNT gets the deal which seems unlikely. EJ is loyal to TNT and can do other stuff. Without EJ there is no chemistry and probably not the same crew anyway at NBC. That would be a sad day
These guys are missing the boat. Almost everyone watches the content on youtube after the game is over. Just do a podcast with the highlights, and all leave they would kill it. No bosses anymore
Then make whatever network pay to show your content and give you the games. They could do the NBA finals. Because the network would pay them. The commercial revenue alone would have every major network renting them.
They can't show the highlights because they won't have the rights to broadcast the NBA games in any form. They will either be not monetized or taken down for copyright infringement by the enemy networks. They could do a TH-cam channel for sure but it wouldn't be the same without showing the games/highlights. Podcast would be sick but would have to be a different avenue, like a daily basketball show of some sort.
If the other networks get the contract for the games, you can't make them give you the games. NBA fans like myself are going to watch the game no matter what channel it's on, just how it works and the networks realize this. If my team is on NBC at 7pm, you either watch NBC at 7pm or you're not watching the game. They would have no reason to give games to anyone else no matter how popular these guys are. NBA on TNT fans just might tune out at halftime and postgame and not watch whoever's on, just like I do now with ESPN.
Gloomy outlook for sure
@@MarspeedCarsyou hit the nail on the head.
@@MarspeedCars Stream online for free.
There’s a big difference between TH-cam money and tv money
Absolutely
Ernie is the only reason Shaq and Chuck hasn't put their hands on each other whenever they have a debate. So Chuck is right, Ernie is really important.
Inside the NBA is more entertaining then most of the shows that cover the NBA
They all try to be funny but simply can’t. If always turns into a debate
Damn just abruptly ending the video with chuck saying, "it's very stressful over here right now". Brutal
That is the best NBA show!!! They are such a great group...
I literally never watch a single season nba game ever, but I tune in to watch these guys. Even during the playoffs I tune in for these guys more than the actual games
Those guys could do anything and I would listen. Football, movies, music. They just have that family dynamic. Sometimes they fight, but most of the time you know, they love each other.
Inside the NBA is Ernie, Charles, Shaq and I guess Kenny Smith lol. No one can replace Ernie. Inside the NBA is more entertaining than most of these NBA games.
If TNT lose the NBA and go to a streaming service, they better pick all the crew up from Inside the NBA and re-do it, a bit like what they did with Top Gear from BBC to prime as Grant Tour!
Literally I’m the only person that still watches nba games everybody else be playing their video games
Well that's because video games are better. I'll watch my fair share of sports but if I had to pick one over the other it's video games every time.
@@Rye-jl2fk facts
I went from not being into basketball at all to making sure I watch Inside the NBA clips nearly every day because of their comedic energy and their bond. No one can top it and I don't think anybody can replicate it, as far as I've seen.
The 4 of them need to start their own show!! They dont need to purchase NBA rights to discuss the NBA!!
I did not know Inside the NBA might be over, now im worried
NBA on TNT has impacted generations! I remember watching at 7 years old and to this day, I always watch! Love the nba
Inside the NBA on TNT is the funniest Sports Show ever. They could do a show on Demand w/the hilarious moments, it would be a highly rated for sure.
I wait for the the games to end everynight, could care less about the games, but wont miss an episode of inside the NBA!
If nba part ways with tnt I will part ways with the nba..it’s that simple
NBC is great too tho. They were the OG before TNT.
You should let them know, because it will likely affect their decision...
@@rozburgI don't think it'll be the same like back then
I like NBC.
I HATE ESPN.

"Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything-anger, anxiety, or possessions-we cannot be free,"
- Thich Nhat Hanh
TNT better step up! This show is all that keeps eyeballs on them!
As a person without cable I hope it goes to nbc and then nba tv picks up inside the nba for a 2 night a week slate of games
Ernie and the guys should just create a podcast on a TH-cam channel and that's it, no bosses anymore, just themselves and their show, I'm sure they would be a success.
It's a good idea but they would not be able to have the same format since they would not own the rights to the game footage. And I don't see them all sitting down and agreeing to that without the backing of a network (aka salary)
"The three of us are screwed" 😭💔😭💔
That was a silly thing to say. No need to put any job on a pedestal.
Shaq and Chuck deserves a show together.
the legends retiring from another venture 👌 on to the next. blessings brothers
Nothing’s stressful when you’re rich either way. He doesn’t even need a job. He just does it because he likes it.
And I hope it continues because he’s so fun to watch on that show.
How do you know he doesn’t have plenty of family members to take care of? Jeff Bezo and Musk continue to make money and they are billionaires WTF are you talking about? You can never have enough money because it’s always a reason to spend it like bills, mortgages on mansions are a lot different than mortgages on a house. The cost of living varies from state to state.
You will be fine Chuck, you are a house hold name and the best in the business.
Is not like he’s broke without the show 😂
I really do hope TNT continues with NBA games...I feel NBA games on Amazon or NBC wouldn't be the same Inside The NBA just make it work love those guys.
Inside the NBA is the NBA’s biggest asset by far! I look forward to their commentary more than I do watching the games
ADAM LEFKOE LOOOOOOOL
GOODNIGHT INSIDE THE NBA IF HE COMES ALONG
Insane how he threw that out as if Adam could *ever* replace Ernie. The nights he subs in just prove Ernie's value even more.
If ESPN gets INSIDE THE NBA than Rest In Peace to one of the Greatest Sport Shows Ever...... Inside The NBA fits right with TNT! So F NBC, ESPN, CBS and any other network getting involved #FOH
Interesting interview - don't recall seeing any update since.
I love his transparency.
PLEASE learn the lesson from how the BBC handled Top Gear. You can't always catch lightning in a bottle. This is the funniest show on TV by far.
I hope Turner can keep the NBA, but NBC’s offer is looking too hard for the NBA to turn down. Turner should at least run NBA TV and try to have the TNT cast from the Turner family go there.
Even if all four were brought to NBC, it wouldn't be the same without TNT's behind the scenes production crew.
Very humble room. I love it.
I'm legit gonna cry if they go off the air 😢
I can’t imagine any NBA season without Inside the NBA.
Great interview
I've never actually watched a full NBA game, but I've become a fan of the sport because of these guys. I follow the NBA because of them. It's not often a sports talk show can have that effect. When I'm feeling down, I watch clips of Charles, Shaq, Kenny, and Ernie, and it really helps lift my spirits. It would be a sad day if this is the end for them.
If the show goes away, Charles can always retire, move to San Antonio, and find himself a nice woman down there to settle down with.
😂
We go to sir Charles, we are Filipinos and we love straight and honest commentator, Go go go Sir😊
This is the only NBA show I watch. Great show I really like the whole cast. I rarely watch NBA games anymore but always watch Kenny, Shaq, Ernie & Barkley because of their knowledge & humor. In today’s world comedy is on life support.
I sure don’t want the show to end. It’s one of my faves! Definitely one of the best shows on TV. 😌
I'd pay to watch Barkley on Undisputed 😂😂
he'll kill skip for the first minute on air 😅😅
😂😂
Can't Ernie negotiate an exclusivity contract with NBC whilst remaining with TNT?
Only if TNT allows him. I’m guess that’s a possibility since Ernie basically built TNT Sports
@@rugged9769would Ernie even want to have to travel to NYC/Connecticut (where nbc produces everything) multiple days a week away from his special needs family?
I doubt Ernie leaves TNT after all these years.
@@sosamanotf642 Yeah, but TNT did let him go do his usual gig for CBS during March Madness.
They just signed a massive contract, too. Well deserved. I hope they keep the crew.
I love TNT but I can’t lie I do miss that nba on nbc music from the 90s
I view it differently, bcoz EJ, Shaq, Kenny & Chuck doesn't care about the feelings of the NBA players, if they see something wrong they will say it even it hurts the feeling of an NBA players, unlike other sports channel, those hosts love to praise players even they are failing, like KD & Bron. Those hosts love to blame the coaches but the fact is that some players are the real problem
Kenny shaking in his house shoes
Why Kenny?
Charles was smart for doing that 💯
GREAT VIDEO GUYS
Charles Barkley for US president
He’s too smart to be President
@@TheOriginalMrB maybe
I dont care about the nba anymore. Havent watched a game in years. But i always watch inside the nba
Sir Charles 😊 he IS a role model.
I appreciate that Charles says "ask" and not "axe"
Barkley is great with Shaq, EJ, and Kenny on TNT.
He was terrible with Gayle King on CNN.
Sorry, love Charles. But, "it is so stressful" as he makes 20 mil a year. Kind of disgusting.
There also hundreds of people in the crew that DONT make $20 mm. It’s not just about the talent
He’s talking about the bts staff. He even talked about the lay-offs due to previous buy-outs. Unlike the on-air talent, the staff aren’t millionaires.
Yeah you are dense
He is talking about everyone who isn't former NBA legends like him and Shaq. Please for the love of god have some sympathy for working class people.
Potentially losing something you love after all these years is understandably stressful. You're clearly slow 🤦🏿♂️
Charles is a class act
The four best nba coverage people. They are fun and funny
