Is Inside the NBA irrelevant this year?
Just turned on the TV, saw “Inside the NBA” leading the coverage of the Christmas Day games. And it made me realize that I can’t remember a time this season where those guys have been a focal point of NBA coverage. They had been for so long, Disney/ ESPN bought their rights and have completely destroyed what they meant to the NBA. It wasn’t necessarily incredible analysis, but it was entertainment and they had a real impact on the culture of basketball.
In short, ESPN never had a plan for the show, and they’ve made them virtually irrelevant in my opinion.
