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.

End of an era! Lets be real here cable TV is dead in the water. NBA welcome back to the NBC family.

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.

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.

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.

Turner would allow Ernie to do both. If Amazon picked all 4 up and Ernie was allowed to stay in the Turner family, done deal

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.

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.

How does this work for the NCAA March Madness coverage?

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

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!!

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.

Well it had to end sometime and this is not a bad way to go out. At least they’ll have one more season and Im sure the entire crew will go all out!

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.

Samson is right anybody can be replaced. But that way of thinking is the reason why the Marlins failed capture the hearts and mind.

Isn’t making the game more accessible through a standard television option the better long term plan? Yearly the NFL’s ratings are 10X those of the NBA. I’m thinking Adam Silver gets that only having one free option through ABC was probably hurting ratings.

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.

Have Amazon hire the "Inside" crew. Initially have their studio in Atlanta. Keep Earnie for a few years and have him transition to Adam Leftkoe. Barkley to Draymond, etc.... This way all sides will be happy

Well Well well people was complaining about the Tuesday Crew for so long that Turner was like lets just end the whole thing. Yall got yall wish🤣😂😂. It'll be sad to see Chuck, Ernie, Shaq Kenny go.

"Maybe Ernie is bargaining, maybe he'll leave with the right number." This is such a simple-minded comment. Not everyone is motivated by money.

I'm not buying that one man's claim that Ernie Johnson would ditch TNT Sports (FKA Turner Sports; the Turner brand was killed off in 2019) for the right number. I would have to see that to believe it.

Chuck has already made his stance on working for ESPN 😂 ‘they’re not gonna work me like a dog & not pay me’

The same group of people that don't have a plausible explanation for why inside the nba is the outlier of all live studio shows EVER are the same group of people that think EJ is a "replaceable" piece of the puzzle. There's talent up and down throughout the production staff, all play a part in the unprecedented success of the show. But if any of the networks are prepared to pay a premium in exchange for replicating the shows historical success under their flag, without EJ sitting in the same chair night in and night out will be disappointed

If they do move on without Ernie..Adam Lefkoe has to be the guy to replace him. He’s the only one that naturally gels with the other 3 aside from Ernie & Chris Webber

Could they curse on Amazon?

They wouldn't, except Chuck. Too many sponsors for Shaq. He even edits his podcast.

@@dvijay461 a lot of the basketball pods starting doing that. They were getting demonitized.

Of all the 30 minute videos they put out, they choose to make this one 7 minutes -_-

I know Ernie is loyal to TNT and I understand why. I know he does other sports but he's know for Inside. I hope he comes around and realizes that he wouldn't be quitting TNT, they already quit HIM when they didn't reup. Surely he has just as much loyalty to the rest of the team.

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

Kind of sucks for such a long time partnership to end

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?

Loving that Michael Vick madden shirt super hard

Man I'm going to watch every single TNT broadcast next season and soak it all in.
