<v Speaker 3>as the Rockies have games.

23
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.400
<v Speaker 1>And they play every day. That's insane. That is nuts.

24
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:10.840
<v Speaker 1>They're so bad. They're nine to fifty. Rangers are off

25
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:12.120
<v Speaker 1>today and play tomorrow. Is that right?

26
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:12.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

<v Speaker 3>They got a series win. They had eleven runs Friday night.

00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:17.840
<v Speaker 3>They had eight or nine yesterday they had nothing on Saturday.

29
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:19.799
<v Speaker 3>It's okay, series win over a good team.

30
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:21.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's good.

31
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:26.280
<v Speaker 3>Head above Water boys, Yeah, seekers back right, he is okay?

32
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:26.799
<v Speaker 4>All right?

33
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:29.760
<v Speaker 3>Well we know that it is the Pacers in the

34
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:32.519
<v Speaker 3>Thunder that gets going on Thursday nine. Yeah, and talk

35
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:34.719
<v Speaker 3>a little more about that later on. Let's get to this.

36
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:37.400
<v Speaker 3>I want to play audio. This is Ernie Johnson of

37
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:41.680
<v Speaker 3>TNT Turner Sports, who's been there forever, and he is

38
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:43.920
<v Speaker 3>signing off the NBA on tn T because with the

39
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:46.480
<v Speaker 3>NBA's new media rights deal, they're gonna be on ESPN

40
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.159
<v Speaker 3>and Amazon, at NBC and ABC and they're not gonna

41
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:51.760
<v Speaker 3>be on Turner Sports anymore at TNT. So here's his

42
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:54.400
<v Speaker 3>sign off again. I cut this down to about forty

43
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:57.959
<v Speaker 3>seconds because he had three minutes of very thoughtful commentary

44
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:00.319
<v Speaker 3>and shoutouts and he is getting emotional at the end.

45
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:02.840
<v Speaker 1>He's been at this company his entire life. Yeah. Can

46
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:04.400
<v Speaker 1>I say something right quick too, because I want to

47
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:06.359
<v Speaker 1>set the scene on this because I was watching this live.

48
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:10.319
<v Speaker 1>There's four guys on set. They've been the core of

49
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>the inside the NBA for a while. Shack Ernie, Kenny,

50
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:20.080
<v Speaker 1>and Charles. So they all said something. Shack went first

51
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:22.280
<v Speaker 1>set the tone dropped an F.

52
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:28.000
<v Speaker 3>Bomb, then Kenny went, Kenny echoed Shacks F bomb.

53
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:31.879
<v Speaker 1>Then Charles went, Charles told a great story, and then

54
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:34.879
<v Speaker 1>now it's time for Ernie, the guy who runs all

55
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:38.319
<v Speaker 1>of this. Ernie does his thing, and it was you

56
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:41.039
<v Speaker 1>could tell he had written it and it was very thoughtful.

57
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:42.360
<v Speaker 1>And so that's what you're gonna play.

58
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:44.639
<v Speaker 2>The four of us are gonna be together, our production

59
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:47.639
<v Speaker 2>crew is gonna be together. It's gonna be that same bunch.

60
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:50.039
<v Speaker 2>We're still gonna be shooting. That show in Atlanta is

61
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.840
<v Speaker 2>just going to air somewhere else. And so the craziness

62
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:57.039
<v Speaker 2>that you've seen, the nonsense and the foolishness and the

63
00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:00.800
<v Speaker 2>top notch basketball analysis, all of that stuff's going to

64
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:03.719
<v Speaker 2>be on. It's going to be on ESPN or ABC

65
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:08.840
<v Speaker 2>next year, not on T young T for that. It's, uh,

66
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:12.319
<v Speaker 2>we're sad, but I'm proud to say, for the last time,

67
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:17.120
<v Speaker 2>thanks for watching us. It's the NBA on T young T.

68
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Before we go, guys, just do the money joint.

69
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Come on. Shack Man looked at me right when that happened.

70
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:31.800
<v Speaker 1>I was watching it live and I went, what are

71
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:32.520
<v Speaker 1>you doing?

72
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:34.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

73
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:35.479
<v Speaker 1>What are you doing?

74
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:35.919
<v Speaker 4>Dude?

75
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:39.479
<v Speaker 1>Let me just say that Ernie started that job when

76
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.479
<v Speaker 1>Shack was a senior at Cole High School in San Antonio,

77
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.120
<v Speaker 1>So that meant a lot to him. And like, I

78
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:47.960
<v Speaker 1>just think about in the small role I have on

79
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:50.800
<v Speaker 1>the MAVs broadcast when we have something important going on,

80
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.919
<v Speaker 1>follow well is the voice of it. When he's finished

81
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:54.719
<v Speaker 1>up going.

82
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:58.639
<v Speaker 3>Oh and one more thing, Like Ernie had that in

83
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:02.840
<v Speaker 3>his mind. I've I've been here for three decades, I've

84
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:06.439
<v Speaker 3>given my life to this company. I have the final word,

85
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:09.560
<v Speaker 3>and I'm gonna end it with how I've ended every

86
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:10.879
<v Speaker 3>NBA broadcast.

87
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:14.439
<v Speaker 1>And then she goes, hold on everybody, I gotta talk again,

88
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:18.480
<v Speaker 1>and I was just like, dude, what are you doing?

89
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:18.839
<v Speaker 3>Man?

90
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:24.800
<v Speaker 1>Just some f in respect. I don't know, man, I

91
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:25.040
<v Speaker 1>get it.

92
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:27.199
<v Speaker 3>And you know, there's probably people listening right now going, hey, skin,

93
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:28.319
<v Speaker 3>you're being pretentious.

94
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:31.279
<v Speaker 1>But like I'm telling you, that meant a lot. That

95
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:32.600
<v Speaker 1>meant a lot to all of them.

96
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:35.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And I mean the nature of that show is

97
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:37.519
<v Speaker 3>them to just goof off and say stuff, you know.

98
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>So he was definitely not thinking, Yeah, I agree, and

99
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:44.439
<v Speaker 1>you're exactly right. And my point was, hey, man read

100
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:47.279
<v Speaker 1>the room. Yeah yeah, as Ernie's doing that, you can

101
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:51.120
<v Speaker 1>tell Ernie had thought out. This is a legendary show.

102
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Most people think Inside the NBA is the greatest sports

103
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.560
<v Speaker 1>studio show of all time. That's up for debate. But

104
00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:59.519
<v Speaker 1>most people think that this is their final time. They're

105
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:02.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna go do something else on ESPN. But I tell

106
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:04.839
<v Speaker 1>you about that. Okay, you've got that. This is Barkley

107
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:07.680
<v Speaker 1>on and Dan Patrick this Morning. Does the show look

108
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:10.519
<v Speaker 1>like the show? It's just it's Inside the NBA, but

109
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:11.439
<v Speaker 1>it's on ESPN.

110
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:15.399
<v Speaker 4>Dad, We don't even know Okay, yeah, I don't know

111
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:18.040
<v Speaker 4>what we're doing. Then TNT is trying to do something

112
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:21.879
<v Speaker 4>stupid behind the scenes. We taped the pilot about a

113
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:27.319
<v Speaker 4>month ago and it was the stupidest, you know, because

114
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:29.680
<v Speaker 4>because we're not going to be on ESPN as much

115
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:30.639
<v Speaker 4>as people think.

116
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Wait, wait, what do you mean you taped a pilot.

117
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:37.040
<v Speaker 4>But they're trying to do something stupid at TNT. And

118
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:40.439
<v Speaker 4>like I say, we taped the pilot doing stupid stuff.

119
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:43.560
<v Speaker 4>I wouldn't want to go out like that. So but

120
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.160
<v Speaker 4>I guess they want to feel like they're doing something

121
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:48.920
<v Speaker 4>to make us earn our money, but from TNT.

122
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:51.759
<v Speaker 3>So they're doing a show, and they were making fun

123
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:53.240
<v Speaker 3>of the fact that tn T doesn't have the rights

124
00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:55.720
<v Speaker 3>to the NBA anymore, so it's them just doing stuff.

125
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:58.279
<v Speaker 3>They don't have highlights of basketball games they can cut to.

126
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:00.839
<v Speaker 3>They can't really talk about it. So but TNT is

127
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:02.959
<v Speaker 3>still going to make them do a show on TNT.

128
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:05.800
<v Speaker 3>And also he said, we're going to work about a

129
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:08.199
<v Speaker 3>half or maybe a third of the time that we're

130
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:11.800
<v Speaker 3>normally working over at ESPN. I saw Bill Simmons say

131
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:14.639
<v Speaker 3>some stuff today too, where he was like, dude, ESPN

132
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:17.160
<v Speaker 3>is going to change that show. They're not gonna be

133
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:19.319
<v Speaker 3>able to do whatever they want like they were at TNT.

134
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:22.160
<v Speaker 1>I will say, I mean, Bill Simmons has been at

135
00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:24.959
<v Speaker 1>war with ESPN forever. I will say, in our brief

136
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:30.120
<v Speaker 1>time at ESPN, Yes, ESPN is about those four letters.

137
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:34.959
<v Speaker 1>Those four letters matter more than anybody they've ever had

138
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:39.839
<v Speaker 1>on there. Oberman, Bill Simmons, Dan Patrick, Scott Van Pelt,

139
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:43.040
<v Speaker 1>you guys can all suck it. There's four letters ESPN

140
00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:45.040
<v Speaker 1>and it's about that over anything else.

141
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.000
<v Speaker 3>I would disagree with that now because now it's more

142
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:50.680
<v Speaker 3>about Pat McAfee and Steven A. Smith than anything else.

143
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:54.199
<v Speaker 1>Man, they'll root Pat McAfee out, do you think so? Yes,

144
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:57.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean he did a bunch backtracking.

145
00:06:58.680 --> 00:06:59.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's true.

146
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:03.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, dude, Bill Simmons was huge. Bill Simmons was

147
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:05.480
<v Speaker 1>there when we were there. He was a monster.

148
00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:08.079
<v Speaker 3>And he said know what fu and then he sold

149
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:11.480
<v Speaker 3>his company to Spotify for seven hundred million.

150
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:15.439
<v Speaker 1>Wow. Yeah, No, they don't. They don't care about you.

151
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:20.240
<v Speaker 1>They care about those four letters. That is it telling you?

152
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:23.720
