ESPN replaces "The Jump" with the "NBA Today"

[Rigby.]

when you got garbage like Woj, Fat elephant cac and cacette shows gonna turn to that. They cant discuss basketball like NFL Live can

you need a balance. NFL Live has virtually no entertainment and the various NBA shows do occasionally have some level of fun.
I'd take some of those early 2010s after dark teams ESPN had, have one of them be the slot before a NBA panel that was more like experts (or at least nikkas that watched ball). That way you got fun and real spiel

I’ll give it a honest shot, it would definitely surprise me if it’s worse than The Jump. I barely watched because of that ginger bytch she was without a doubt the most insufferable basketball personality I’ve ever seen. But I would be lying if I wasn’t going into this with low expectations. I know the game very well enough that I don’t need a media personality to break the game down but what I enjoy the most ability sports shows are former players giving their insight

To be honest with you, Richard Jefferson has done a pretty good job hosting The Jump since Rachael left. Better than her in my opinion. The chemistry he has with Perk is very good too, even though The Coli hates Perk for the time being.

Perk stinks, this hopefully isn't a "time being" thing. I'm from the South and hate when South nikkas that can't speak are put in a position that's more than what they can do. They be having Perk up talking for like 7 minutes at a time like SAS or some shyt. They shoulda had him relegated to the Pierce jokey joke role honestly

Use to love this show

Not excited after seeing the core team lol

Let's be honest

Nobody is watching a daily NBA show no matter who is hosting etc

This is good enough for the 3-5 times per month that I might catch the show

Oh god... Saw Kendrick Perkins name and immediately lost all interest

 

[god shamgod]

I’ll peep cuz I use to watch the jump daily before they turned into a Lebron dikkriding fest/tmz

+ Rachel Nichols had a bad habit of talking over guests or the rest of the panel that was mad annoying

 

[stepbackj34spud]

Richard Jefferson is corny (don’t quote me with your silly what is corny about a black man blah blah blah shyt), glad he’s apparently out

He’s corny af. I hate how smug he comes across. The type of down low dude that thinks hes always right.

Although I liked the jump before all the controversy I think it makes sense to change the format so Malika can put her own swag on it.

 

[FukkaPaidEmail]

This is going to be just as bad as the jump.

they need some engaging personalities in the worst way .

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

Of course they’d pick the safe option in Greeny

Why Zach Lowe over Tim Legler?

Lowe is an X’s and O’s basketball nerd but adding Legler would have been cool. I think he doesn’t get these gigs because he comes off as a hard ass.

Jesus. There has to be some fukking way for the TNT crew to get subcontracted to Disney/ABC for the finals. Every year it’s beyond disappointing and anticlimactic to go from having TNT in the playoffs to the spoiled milk that is espn/abc broadcasts

If you want serious NBA discussion you gotta get Sirius XM and listen to the Sirius NBA Channel. There's about 3 shows back to back from 8am-4pm pacific time every single day and they go in on everything NBA related with rarely any gossip shyt. I even wish NBA TV would simulcast one or two of their shows -The Eddie Johnson/Justin Termany Show preferably- in the morning since they really have no programming. But that's the apex of hearing really good NBA talk and analysis theses days

I think they are better off staying away from TV so the NBA doesn't try to water them down
I'm surprised the NBA/Silver lets them get away with so much on that channel
Frank, Brian, Amin, Eddie and Termany are no holds barred on their criticism and they let the callers pretty much say anything they want also outside of cursing
