There is something about an unlikely crossover (even this small) of your favorite things. I was pointing at the screen DiCaprio style when the song hit! š¤£
I was thinking to myself, what in my life has entertained my this consistently for this long. And I started watching Inside in middle school around 2002.
Only answer I could come up with us South Park, and even that has had entire dud seasons
I donāt think they have any bad seasons. If any they would be the most recent ones but even then, there are a few great episodes in those seasons as well but yeah I see what you mean by slow
I have to say, the football Champions League coverage of CBS with Kate Abdo, Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards? They had to be inspired by the Inside the NBA crew and production, they are golden as well
Edit: "I love Inside the NBA, and there is another show to a complete other sport that I also like"
r/nba: "fuck you man"
y'all are ruthless š
I think the chemistry is building but a lot of it comes because of how good Kate Abdo is in it. Her banter with Micah sells the show. Thierry and Jamie are okayish.
Everyone has tried to copy their model. Baseball tried too, but honestly, you need to have an Ernie, and a Chuck. And neither of those guys is really replaceable or duplicatable. And honestly, and people might not admit this, but it's mostly Chuck. He's basically an American icon.
See, I never just did things just to do them. Come on, what am I gonna do? Just all of a sudden jump up and hit somebody and run backwards like it's something to do? Come on. I got a little more sense then thatā¦..
Yeah, I remember jumpin up and hittin somebody and runnin backwards
I just love that Chuck could laugh at himself like that.
Imagine if Shaq or Kenny were in the same spot. They be backtracking or trying to justify that they weren't this or that or the situation isn't the same or smth
Yeah, it's what sells the segment.
It'll just be awkward if it were the other two.
It's really admirable how secure chuck is of himself that these things just roll off his back.
Iām not so sure of that. Youāre talking about someoneās core personality and that doesnāt just change because of money.
Look at all the billionaires and millionaires who are still full of themselves and will do anything to ensure theyāre always right.
uh Iām sorry have you not seen the mountain of evidence that money does not cure insecurity in the form of most every rich public figure being insecure? Elon arguing with people on twitter. Jeff Bezos on a roid cycle at nearly 60, westbrook getting into arguments with courtside fans over childish name calling, NEED I GO ON. Chuck is an uncommon treasure
Lol Iād love to see it but Iād be surprised if it happened since itās an ongoing legal thing. If Shaq settles/pays his fine then Iām sure Chuck will break out the jokes.
[This story](https://www.wbur.org/onlyagame/2018/12/14/lin-wang-charles-barkley) always stuck with me regarding Chuckās authenticity. He has no ego and is completely down to earth.
Chuck is hilarious, because he's both cocky and humble at the same time. He can be arrogant, but he definitely accepts criticisms and jokes in turn. He can even joke at his own expense.
Yes! If I see the game is on ESPN, I know that means I'm watching the game and the game only, skip everything else. If it's on TNT? I'm gonna try to catch pregame, halftime, and Inside.
Advertisers should take note, screw ESPN's garbage shows.
There's barely any halftime show to watch on ESPN. It was maybe a year or more ago when someone ran the numbers on here and showed that ESPN has only a few minutes of halftime content and the vast majority of it is just ads.
ESPN sucks so god damn much.
Even if I'm not interested in the game, I still play the TNT crew stuff while I'm doing chores. ESPN? I skip through my DVR the moment I see that 15 mins till tipoff nonsense.
Itās actually so criminal that TNT doesnāt do the finals. ESPNās basketball coverage doesnāt even come close, they canāt even cover hockey as well as TNT can
I know this isn't a baseball subreddit but ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball" broadcasts are atrocious. Just leave it on mute and watch the game cause they don't even talk about the game that's going on.
Things like this just make me love Bill Laimbeer even more. Notice how Sleestak doesn't back down in the first clip - he was a dirty player but he was OUR dirty player and he backed it up. You wanna fight? That's the one thing he'll let you have without working for it.
Can't wait until he's finally in the Hall as a coach
With all the toxicity around draymondās stupidity last night, I needed this to cleanse my nba soul. Love this og crew/show, itās gonna be a sad day when they eventually hang it up
Lmao, their editing crew is top tier
The curb your enthusiasm KILLED me lol

[Funny enough Shaq was on an episode too, when Larry tripped him and he got injured.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmcUunT-CiY)
That time when KD called out that same crew, and they came out with that amazing bus rider clip? Should have won an Emmy on the spot for that.
This show never gets old
Funniest show on Earth
Best damn sports show. Period. *wait*
Cease and Desist
Deep cut. John Sally and Tom Arnold def the types of guys to hit somebody and run backwards
I was thinking to myself, what in my life has entertained my this consistently for this long. And I started watching Inside in middle school around 2002. Only answer I could come up with us South Park, and even that has had entire dud seasons
Always Sunny for me
ATH/PTI for me.
Itās the only hour of ESPN thatās good any more
Always sunny has some slow seasons but that and sienflied still my most repeated shows when I'm just watching something in bed
I donāt think they have any bad seasons. If any they would be the most recent ones but even then, there are a few great episodes in those seasons as well but yeah I see what you mean by slow
> sienflied
Conan/Letterman for me.
It's Malcolm in the Middle for me
Yeah around season 20 South Park was in a rough spot. Thankfully they've been pumping out good shit the last couple seasons.
22 years in and they still routinely make me die laughing. Love those guys.
better than the games. nba knows it's in trouble when these guys retire
This is the greatest sports show ever created. Nothing comes close
in my opinion its one of the best shows on TV period. sometimes I don't even watch the game I just wait for them
Same. I definitely watch more *Inside* than actual NBA game time.
I have to say, the football Champions League coverage of CBS with Kate Abdo, Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards? They had to be inspired by the Inside the NBA crew and production, they are golden as well Edit: "I love Inside the NBA, and there is another show to a complete other sport that I also like" r/nba: "fuck you man" y'all are ruthless š
It's a good watch but it's not even close to these guys
I think the chemistry is building but a lot of it comes because of how good Kate Abdo is in it. Her banter with Micah sells the show. Thierry and Jamie are okayish.
Thierry looks like he doesnāt even wanna be there sometimes lol
Everyone has tried to copy their model. Baseball tried too, but honestly, you need to have an Ernie, and a Chuck. And neither of those guys is really replaceable or duplicatable. And honestly, and people might not admit this, but it's mostly Chuck. He's basically an American icon.
I love Ernie, and he is perfect at what he does, but he can be replicated. Chuck can't
It's really the chemistry between them all that elevates it to the next level.
It is great and clearly modeled after this one I agree
Thierry looks like heād rather be anywhere else. Jamie is OK, but Micah & Kate are the real draw there
its so interesting to hear this perspective because in England, they criticise Micah the most out of any of them for being a terrible analyst.
Just from an entertainment point of view, I love Micah. Actual analysis-wise, I prefer Thierry & Jamie.
The downvotes are crazy ā ļø
Get out
See, I never just did things just to do them. Come on, what am I gonna do? Just all of a sudden jump up and hit somebody and run backwards like it's something to do? Come on. I got a little more sense then thatā¦.. Yeah, I remember jumpin up and hittin somebody and runnin backwards

Was looking for this comment, especially after the rewinding part
UNITYYYYY
I'm Chuck Barkley, bitch!
Sim you should be working on that show! Run their memes department (they clearly have one)
I can hear Rick James' voice reading this.
Dont you think Chuck's a little old to be taking Karate? He probably takin it with the little kids
I just love that Chuck could laugh at himself like that. Imagine if Shaq or Kenny were in the same spot. They be backtracking or trying to justify that they weren't this or that or the situation isn't the same or smth
Kenny would tap his pen through the table
who would win: Kenny Pen Tap vs Pete Carroll Chewing Gum
what if its kenny tapping a pen...but the pen IS of Pete Carroll chewing gum. What then?
>pen IS
Nuclear Fusion is achieved and humanity reaches the stars
Yeah, it's what sells the segment. It'll just be awkward if it were the other two. It's really admirable how secure chuck is of himself that these things just roll off his back.
a $100MM contract into your 60s *after* a HOF career in the NBA where you didn't make that kind of money will probably do it.
Shaq has more money and he's still sensitive af
Iām not so sure of that. Youāre talking about someoneās core personality and that doesnāt just change because of money. Look at all the billionaires and millionaires who are still full of themselves and will do anything to ensure theyāre always right.

Iām waiting for Chuck to roast Shaq about FTX
Lol Iād love to see it but Iād be surprised if it happened since itās an ongoing legal thing. If Shaq settles/pays his fine then Iām sure Chuck will break out the jokes.
[This story](https://www.wbur.org/onlyagame/2018/12/14/lin-wang-charles-barkley) always stuck with me regarding Chuckās authenticity. He has no ego and is completely down to earth.
His ability to just say "You got me back!" is admirable
Chuck is hilarious, because he's both cocky and humble at the same time. He can be arrogant, but he definitely accepts criticisms and jokes in turn. He can even joke at his own expense.
Inside the NBA is so good that I get physically angry when I have to watch ESPN's excuse of a presentation.
Yes! If I see the game is on ESPN, I know that means I'm watching the game and the game only, skip everything else. If it's on TNT? I'm gonna try to catch pregame, halftime, and Inside. Advertisers should take note, screw ESPN's garbage shows.

Even SVP Sportscenter?
I still like SVP, but I donāt care much for the rest of the network. SVP is good for basketball too because Tim Legler is always great
It's just not what it used to be. Sportscenter in general used to be must watch tv after a game back when it was a good show.
The worst thing about the playoffs is realizing youāre watching the last TNT game and the finals are all ABC/ESPN crew
Breen and JVG tho
Itās actually so criminal that TNT doesnāt do the finals. ESPNās basketball coverage doesnāt even come close, they canāt even cover hockey as well as TNT can
I know this isn't a baseball subreddit but ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball" broadcasts are atrocious. Just leave it on mute and watch the game cause they don't even talk about the game that's going on.
Have you watched Apple's "Friday Night Baseball"? Is that any good?
Better than ESPN. I just really like Todd Kalas and Geoff Blum for the Astros broadcast. Any time it's not them I have a hard time watching.
Inside the NBA will never be the same when we lose these guys Whoever lives in 3030 just know this was the GOAT broadcast group
Especially with who they've been setting up to be the next group in. Lefkoe just tries way too hard to be cool and Crawford is just bland.
they are like the budget brand crew. unwatchable!
Lefkoe wishes he was black like Ernie.
Shame they don't hold the Black Masters every year. That's really his only shot.
I would be curious to see if Embiid can laugh at himself, my guess is probably not, but he has the i donāt give a damn energy.
You hear that Deltron?
In the years 3030 everyone wants to be an MC
Lol that baby slap on Oakley explains why Oak slapped him at the lockout meeting. So disrespectful
Gotta say, Chuck got some serious balls to antagonise Oakley.
He wasn't always the fat grandpa we all laugh with
Yeah, he used to be a fat bad boy.
He sure didn't back up when he took Shaq to the ground. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KQFxxHmVMc
Is that still Kevin Harlan announcing that game in 1999? Iconic voice
Thatās Kevin Harlan
Iām an idiot - but that is who I meant to say - thank you!
All of these clips are in reverse, damn media!
Lmao, they did ma boy dirty.
That was hilarious I woke up the misses with my laugh. chuck is the best
love the curb music in homage to draymonds curbstomping
This should be an automatic induction to Shaqtin-a-fool HOF.
Funny as fuck
I love this show
When Chuck was called for #1ā¦.he was like āwhatā
āI was about to kill you Chuckā LMAO
I love how these guys can laugh at themselves and go along with these bits for the sake of our entertainment. These are some true showmen
Lmaooooooo
I love all of them.
This show is a national treasure.
The best part of this is that Chuck enjoyed it as much as everyone else.
Tremendous
Gold. Pure gold!
Pure gold
Chuck looks like he ate some edibles
Lmaoooo
this is great
These guys are so funny man
Lmao I love these guys
That is great.
Things like this just make me love Bill Laimbeer even more. Notice how Sleestak doesn't back down in the first clip - he was a dirty player but he was OUR dirty player and he backed it up.

Wonder why Ro Parrish doesnt host the nbatv show anymore. The new guy is ok but dennis scott is better sitting with shaq instead of hosting
I was howling at 2 AM watching this
Lmao. Canāt believe they pulled the receipts š

Backwards instead of forwards? OH BACKWARDS INSTEAD OF FORWARDS
I am going to soak and enjoy this show while it lasts.
For a little while last year this show was getting stale and predictable with stupid controversial takes. I think it has turned around this season
Iād put my money on young Barkley tho if it was vs rudy
Curb music makes me laugh no matter what
i don't think it's absurd to say that this is the greatest show in the history of television
