Yet, if you remove one, it loses something considerably. Perfect mix! Barkley is the star of the team, Shaq creates a necessary instability and ruckus, Kenny can instigate and do a little bit of everything, while Ernie is the one who keeps it all together, who knows what to do forward… Better yet, not just the 4 of them but ALL of the team!

I respect Ernie and everyone on that set. But for old heads like me, the league network brand used to be "NBA on NBC" for the longest time. Ahmad Rashaad, Bob Costas, a lot of iconic talent on their coverage. Then ABC/ESPN got the rights in 2002, and the presentation changed with NBA Countdown. TNT & TBS are longtime NBA networks from back in the 80's. New shows will be created, and everyone will be fine. Show or no show, all of those guys will be on 3 or 4 podcasts or KZread channels a week.

Ernie is second-generation Turner. He practically grew up there.

This notion that “everybody is replaceable”, while technically correct, assumes that the replacement will perform equally as well (or better) than their predecessor. I’m here to tell Sampson that he is flat out WRONG in that regard. EJ is too humble to say it, but Inside the NBA (or whatever it would be called post-TNT) isn’t what it is today without him. He has been the one constant. I like Lefkoe and the alternate crew that’s been there in the past. It is NOT the same. You can’t replicate that chemistry. Like Mike said, ESPN has tried and failed at it.

ESPN still has it? SMH NBC I don't mind but F ESPN.

This is sad news. I hate it for all the people behind the scenes as well. I hope it can be retained with the crew of Ernie and the guys because it wouldn't have the same feel without them all together.

Those guys even the people behind the cameras bring something different to the air/sports talk show. Personality, sense of humor and laughter. And people love that. I promise you its not going to be the same.

When Ernie stares down Chuck after he tears up his notes, or an agitated Shaq upset over him voting twice for Steve Nash, you realise how important he is. Doesn't care how big or rich they are. He's Kenny's friend, Chuck's big brother, Shaq's uncle. Super supportive of players, without being a suckup and new talent. He's the Godfather. Adam Lefkoe might be able to do it, but they're big shoes to fill.

Steven A, you never, ever failed to impress me with your knowledge, intellect in your total overall approach to any topic. You said something a few years ago that brought tears to my eyes as I smiled over those words. Now today, you hit those same notes but in a different song. I loved the words to rhythm.

I agree with Mike. Amazon has the money to come into that building and they could do the same show

You can't just plug someone into Ermie Johnson role. He is the most important person on that show. He is the captain of the ship . He's a master at the greatest sports show in history . You can't replicate his ability to let things breathe, keep the show rolling, and allowing them all to be themselves.

that's crazy anyone thinks Ernie could be replaced. You can find another person running the ship but it'll be completely different from what it is right now

It’s time, it’s run its course. Chuck is a fool. Shaq, Kenny and Ernie are legit.

It's the end of Inside the NBA. Resist the urge to treat it like a public utility that must be preserved at all costs. It's a TV show. There are other TV shows.

They had a great run but all good things come to an end! This show will be missed!

I hate watching NBA games on ESPN and abc, maybe Amazon can do better. Otherwise I probably won't watch that much

What I do not understand is why TNT can't bid for Amazon rights or like the NBA forcing it, Amazon paying less money then NBC so why can't TNT bid for thoses games

The Quadro should stay together, life will never be the same again ❤❤❤❤❤

I think one thing that they're not bringing up is that both Ernie and Chuck have been pretty adamant "the others" not losing their jobs so that could be another determining factor. I would think though whomever ends up being the new parent company would not want to fix what ain't broke.

I really loved NBA on NBC and that intro. Interested to see who's going to be doing this new broadcast. Don't care about Shaq, but everybody else, I'm disappointed if I can't see them anymore

Come on Amazon!! Do a deal with TNT for Ernie and the boys. They need Ernie!

I’m sure Bob Costas and Ahmad Rashad’s legacy during their runs on NBA on NBC and NBA Inside Stuff, which were both fundamental in the growth of the Jordan Era(Golden Age), and the guys over at NBC will be A-OK.

Inside the NBA is Ernie Johnson and vice versa. The show is his 100%. The only way it continues is if a network buys everything. The crew, studio, and production. All of it. With all of their ages that wont happen. The new network will start over and its the smart.

No one is immune to corporate greed. The nba is all about the money

"You love the people not the show." -this David Samson guy. No, we love the show. We love Alex, Underdog, TK, Fiorello, Ant, Chico, everybody in the crew and staff in that show along with the 4. It won't be the same if they don't have the same crew (albeit, Keith, the new director, is still finding his footing to give the show a new direction).

A new network is not going to give them the freedom for that creative and vulnerable culture. Picking it up and placing it somewhere else isn’t the same.

All good things must come to an end

End of an Era. Inside The NBA is the greatest basketball show coverage in history. Erin is not leaving Turner unless Turner allows him to work for both.

It would be a shame to lose those 4 announcers. Their show is fantastic. The other NBA pre-game shows are worthless.

The show is MUCH more than just the personalities. Yes, they drive it, but the guys behind the scenes make the show. From the pranks, to the quick graphics and the studio design. It all makes it come together including the producers and executives who let the people do what they are best at and leave them alone.

Don't forget how important the Inside the NBA production crew is.

What made it great is it was an official network show but formatted like a podcast show it's really the reason these shows like Pat McAfee, Cam & Ma$e etc. and yes Ernie was a central piece someone like Mike Greenberg could definitely fill the void in the middle!!

Put the show on MAX and play it after the game like other studios do.

The national media is reporting this from Bill Simmons saying it would happen. NOT that a deal had been made. Yes it might be true but until NBC announces it I wouldn't give Simmons' opinion this much media exposure. He's a jerk for this.

That's sad news man. I liked NBA on NBC back in the day, but they gave it up just to come back and take away a beloved show that made us smile no matter how our lives were going. I hope they hire every last one of those guys.

This is the end of an era 😢

Kind of sucks for such a long time partnership to end

Ernie has integrity. He said he wouldn't leave Turner, so he won't.

The documentary that came out 2 years ago shows that they take the crew and producers seriously. These guys including Ernie don't need the money.

The Inside the NBA Crew could do whatever sport and I’d still watch

It all comes down to ej... they r not stupid, they will try to keep the show goin... so it really depends on if ej wants to work outside tnt

Gonna miss them. Hope they still do some shows together even with the 3 musketeers being a guest to an Ernie TNT show. I think Ernie's situation is clearly a loyalty thing. He's been with TNT for decades and is probably close to retiring. There's no point in him playing the max contract game.

Samson is totally wrong. We love the show. The people on the show are great. But all the little things that go into that show are amazing. I say Why can’t they keep the show at TNT and buy highlight rights from NBA?
