I think some may be worrying too much about his HBO show. He said on Stern that it will be on one time a week and only for 30 minutes. BS seems to be able to get good interviews on his podcast so I don't think he will have any problems filling in a half hour with the whatever is going on in sports (NBA/NFL) that week / interview format pretty much like the Daily Show or Last Week Tonight...

yep, hopefully he'll have the right producers with him at hbo. dude got worse over time on camera. he was very good at his first nba draft, the next year he was pretty much insufferable.

Zach Lowe has great analysis and is the best NBA writer out there rn. Doesnt mean he isn't wrong at times. I said that OKC needs to go small with Durant at 4 for this series. He said that line up would be unplayable, we saw the results last night. Doesn't mean he doesn't have great analysis and understanding of Xs and Os

You know he wishes he was working the Finals. It will be one of the most watched of all time and he would be all over ABC right now
