OT: Barkley staying at TNT

[bendm]

So not totally unfathomable the NBA on TNT continues, some new $ amount from Turner (more than Amazon) or the NBA gives Turner some new separate broadcasting right in addition to deals they've got with NBA & Amazon. Barkley appears to have bet on this for whatever that is worth

It’s worth $0. I wanted tnt to get the C package instead of Amazon but that ship has sailed. NBA isn’t going to carve off a D package because that would require renegotiating the ABC packages with espn, nbc, and amazon

What “so weird” about it, a lot of people love it clearly it’s been on for 25 yrs, it’s just entertainment

It's a thing you watch before the thing you want to watch comes on. It's not like people tune in for the pregame show. At least I don't

I stick around for the post game show though, sometimes when didn’t even catch game but see them on. To each their own, I find them entertaining and Ive always followed the league so it worked for me.

They cover the NBA. It's not that easy to cover it effectively and be entertaining. I think they do a great job.

The outpouring of love for Inside the NBA over the past year has been so weird. It's fine for what it is, but people talk about a pregame show like it's some kind of cultural touchstone.

It is when they go off-script.
