    TNT/Zaslav really ruined one of the three things still working well in NBA media

  2. Rice-And-Gravy

    Well this is the worst thing that’s happened to me today

  3. Extreme-Site-8496

    Fuck man im not ready for their last day next season

    Gonna miss the Chuckster.

    He probably made a bag from the sports betting ads that he doesn’t have to work anymore

  5. CheekyFifaCunt_7

    End of an era. Best nba analyst of all time, always telling it how it is.

  6. This is truly crushing and brutally depressing news

  7. MucusShotSwaGGins

    Someone check on Kenny this news would make him fall to his knees, his knees already bad. However seriously it’s been fun ride, congrats on 2nd retirement when it comes.

    Next year’s NBA on TNT is must watch television.

    They would need to completely revamp the show to have any chance of succeeding. Something like the GP/C-Webb NBA TV show in the 2010s.

    Shaq will need to step up big time though or be let go. The guy has been riding Chuck’s coattails for over a decade. What’s he going to do now that he can’t be a laugh track for Chuck’s antics? Can’t just read player stats every week and call it “analysis”. Even Perk is more comfortable speaking on live television…..

    I started following the NBA when I was 12 and discovered Charles and the Inside crew shortly after then. I am now almost 30. These guys have been a constant for the whole time I followed the league. I knew things don’t go on forever, but for some reason I thought it was never gonna end.

    I guess it’s another reminder that nothings ever permanent.

    Fuck this hurts. Not going to miss a single Inside The NBA next season.

    He seems serious, and I think it being 25 years did it for him. Thats a long ass time. He’s old now, he’s had 2 full careers. Im happy for him.

    Seeing Chuck go will be bittersweet but at least he’ll have the “what are they gonna do, fire me?” attitude dialed up all the way which will make it fun to watch.
