    TNT Inside the NBA has given up on basketball

    Wtf is all this nonsense? Barkley dancing with a senior citizen, shaq ripping up a piņata, going through shaq's yearbook profile, talking about some softball pitcher

    Shaq can not talk basketball. He is one of the guys who make it look like anyone can do it.

    All of the hosts know basketball from a players standpoint save Ernie and ironically none if them can translate the knowledge in a coherent manner save Ernie. Kenny ruins everything from dunk contests to being a rockets fan

    Barkley has some of the more insightful comments from any ex player I have heard this season. He is a sharp guy. when he is talking basketball its worth a listen.

    But no one is better than Hubie Brown. Only guy I HAVE to listen to.

    a lot better than espn. Not to mention there isn't much basketball to talk anymore. It's all shitty calls going to the home team when they are struggling and they all wanna talk about those, but can't. What would you like them to tell you?

    Have you watched ESPN's pregame and post game? It's way way worse. Pretty much just Wilbon trying really hard to be Magic Johnson's friend, Chris Broussard talking like he's in the middle of a dice game, and the other white guy being a big oaf

    Tell me about it. ESPN's analysts make me wanna puke, especially Magic and Chris Broussard. I think Jon Barry is alright and sometimes he has something worth saying but its hard for me to watch.

    TNT has become unbearable now too. It all started with Chuck winning that award or whatever. Then Kenny started trying to be more animated, Shaq always sucked, and no one is listening to Ernie. Ernie's job is to keep the show moving along in the right way and Chuck wont even let him talk.

    What happened? I used to laugh so much watching them? PLEASE fire Shaq

    You are joking about Hubie Brown right? He doesn't say shit that everyone doesn't know already.

    Foul line down this, foul line down that... he and the other guy make games worst to watch.

    Balky that's like saying cleaning up puke is better than cleaning up vomit....not a great option either way

    and yeah tnt is 1,000,000,000x better than espn in the studio but keeping shaq around knocks a few 0's off that comparison

    Please make a thread saying Hubie Brown is an a mediocre commentator, with average opinions. I would love to see the responses.

    Some TNT Thursdays I will just tune into Inside the NBA, and not even watch the double header before hand. Show is funny at times, and they are winning Emmy's for a reason. It is a good change of pace from basketball.

    ESPN pre, half and post game shows are terrible.

    Shaq is ******* god awful on that show. Are some of you guys kidding?

    Chris Webber aint bad. Shaq though damn near single-handedly ruins the best studio show in sports.

    The guys on ESPN are trying to be funny with their photoshopped fros. Sorry...not finding any humor outta this. Just trying to copy what TNT does much better. I'd much rather watch Barkley, Shaq, and Kenny ripping on each other than this..

    They have to make it somewhat interesting to watch and to be honest I like how its a little different than most pre/post game shows. Not the same old boring BS going back and forth...

    I don't think Shaq is good or anything but his presence is fine IMO for the show

    I like Ernie and obviously Sir Charles is the best

    Kenny Smith--not a big fan

    ESPN analysts are garbage

    Maybe the talent leaves something to be desired, but TNT still has the best produced show out of all of them.
