Glad the show lives on tbh. Sucks it's through Disney though; was hoping it'd be on NBC.

Still gonna be Turner producing it, just ESPN airing it. That being said, I'm sure they'll have say on what they do.

Nah I think it's better it's on ESPN and ABC since they're going to broadcast more games. I think I read NBC is only doing a game or two a week and some of them will probably end up on shitty Peecock.

They also have the Finals. Would be pretty great to see them on the biggest stage.

Ugh that sucks, I'm sure they'll eventually make you subscribe to get the Finals.

Yeah, Barkley talking about ball movement is like Lebron talking about democracy. Barkley ball was him holding on the ball for 10 seconds, then pound it for another 10, turnaround a shoot a short jumper or goes in and dunks it. It's tough to stop but it was just bad ball. I actually made an argument that the biggest reason Barkley never won it all is because his brand of basketball was bound for being swarmed during a playoff series, he doesn't pass the ball to nobody and the offence becomes incredibly predictable. He cam close to it in 93 because a) The Suns somehow shot 64 FTs in a game 7 vs. the Sonics (Sonics shot 36) and b) the Suns had KJ as a secondary creator.

That's the biggest knock against Sir Charles in my eyes, not his defence, not his antics, but his pound air out of the ball type of play.

What an insufferable show now. All it is is a bunch of old men whining about how shit used to be better. These dudes dont even watch basketball, how would they know? What other sport has a show where 4 old dickheads who dont even care about the game sit around shitting on everything and bitching about "why da media gotta talk about da lakers so much", bitch you mean like you are doing right now?

And those old heads are one of the reasons ratings are down
Imagine new basketball fans who watch these shows thinking they are experts…they will trust them and assume the league is shit because they don’t know any better

Thanks god for Iverson and Larry Bird showing love to the current generation tbh
Kobe wasn’t hating either
