Man they’ve fucked it all up. These personalities have been a part of my life since I started watching the NBA way back when

Wouldn’t he just go to NBC? Or is his contract more ironclad than that

Harlan is the best American sports announcer. Criminal that we don’t have him working the Finals. And if he ends up not calling games at all , then Zaslav needs to be tried at The Hague

Harlan is far and away my favorite play by play guy in sports. Knows how to have fun, doesn’t chime in with some storyline for the sake of talking when games are at a critical apex and the enthusiasm is felt. NBA would really be losing a dream team of personalities

Grady is going to move on to national coverage at some point… Kevin, it’s time to come home.

Ian Eagle, Kevin Harlan, & Spero Dedes are under contract with CBS for calling NFL & college basketball

Hot take:
Whilst I grew up with Kevin Harlan calling the NBA and the 2K games, I have to admit that he’s a better commentator at NFL than at NBA.
He’s terrific in both, but, once I heard him call NFL, I fell in love.
And I’m a European btw.
Anyway, Kevin is the best right now.

Hold up:
>“I’ve been with Turner for 28 years … we’ve had a lot of different ownership changes, but we’ve had the NBA that whole time. **Turner runs** [NBA.com](http://nba.com/), Turner broadcasting **also controls NBA TV**, there’s a lot of investment that company has made in the NBA,” Harlan said.
I assume the answer is “no,” since no one’s mentioned it as an alternative yet, but is it possible for the Inside the NBA crew to move over to NBA TV?

They just need to hire him

Adam silver doesnt get it. He has destroyed the product in the time david stern has moved on. We now have a significantly worse product that is littered with nothing but gambling advertisements.

THE MAN IS DRUNK!
Seriously, I first fell in love with him as a commentator when I lived in Minnesota and KG was the best thing in town.

Amazon will pick him up.

NBC, you know what you must do

Having Harlan calling the Wolves again during this run has been part of the reason it’s been so memorable. He was the only reason to tune into some early Wolves games. If he’s not calling the league, there’s something wrong with the world.

I swear I heard Kevin call Mike Breen the best voice in the NBA the other night and it made me smh so damn hard. No disrespect to Mike, he’s GOAT’d as well, but Kevin is hands down the best.

Harlan does football for Fox right? I’m sure he’ll get a job in the NBA still

hot take this generation who are upset about TNT losing nba are the same feelings when nbc lost nba to espn/abc in the early 2000s

I will forever love the Kevin Harlan call when someone threw a piece of chicken on the court.
doublea08
I’ve always loved Harlan, listening to him call these Wolves games has made me feel like a kid again, it would be criminal if he is no longer calling NBA games.

I thought he was Marv Albert at first back in the 2000s.

Chuck needs to get his own TV channel and take everyone with him. Call it Chuck TV.

Is he done commenting the NBA once TNT loses the rights?
Hugo_Hackenbush
He’s the voice of the sport and would be a much bigger loss than Inside The NBA.

Inside the NBA can piss off for all I care. Harlan’s the man

The biggest travesty is having ESPN/ABC do the NBA Finals

Kevin Harlan stays or we cancel the NBA. What are we even talking about?
Zelba16
He’s the best announcer in the league wish he did the finals. Just so much charisma. Nobody compares.

TNT and Zaslav really fucked this up. Once NBC takes the NBA, they will never let it go. Have fun with the NHL

As a Heat fan obviously Jimmy’s 56 point game as the 8th seed vs the Bucks last playoffs was amazing to watch regardless, but Kevin Harlan’s calls elevated that moment to a spiritual experience. Jimmy’s step-back in the clutch with Harlan’s “LONG SHOT GOOOOOOOD” is seared into my memory for the rest of time.

I have loved TNT coverage, it’s been the best for YEARS. But if they insist on pushing Draymond, then I’d rather they lose the NBA. I’d rather watch an inferior product without Draymond, than TNT with Draymond.

He is by far the best play by play guy in sports. Hopefully ESPN nabs him up so he can do the Finals.

Wolves legend.
One of my favorites personally
Holy shit he actually said that?
