Listen, you know that Inside the NBA show? That thing on the TV after them basketball games? Well, let me tell you, those fellas on there, they sure are something else. They make me laugh, those guys. They talk about the hoops and all, but they get to foolin’ around and it’s a real hoot. I like that show, yes I do. It’s my favorite show.
There’s that big fella, Shaq, O’Neal, or somethin’ like that. He’s a giant, that one! Used to play the game, I reckon. He’s always teasin’ the others. Then you got Chuck, that Barkley fella. He’s a mess, always got somethin’ to say. And he don’t always make sense, but he sure is funny. That’s why people like him.
Then there’s that other one, Kenny, they call him “The Jet” or somethin’. He played too, I think. He tries to keep ’em in line, but it ain’t easy. Those other two, they just go at it. Like two old roosters in a henhouse. And that Ernie, he’s the one tries to keep ’em all straight. He does a good job, poor fella. It ain’t easy wrangling them other three.
- They got this big screen, showin’ the game plays.
- They all talk over each other, tryin’ to be heard.
- Sometimes they get to arguin’, but it’s all in good fun.
- That Shaq, he’s always eatin’. Chicken, donuts, you name it.
- Chuck, he likes to make his picks, says who’s gonna win. He’s not always right.
I seen ’em do all sorts of crazy things on that show. They had races, one time. Shaq, big as he is, tryin’ to run. Lord have mercy, it was a sight. And Chuck, he fell down, I think. They were laughin’ so hard they could hardly breathe. I was laughin’ too, right here in my chair. This is the funniest Inside the NBA moment.

Another time, they were wearin’ these silly outfits. Looked like somethin’ out of a circus, I swear. They do that kind of stuff all the time. Just to be funny, you know. And it works, ’cause they sure are entertainin’. They just do what they like, say what they like. Inside the NBA on TNT don’t follow a script.
They talk about the players, too. Who’s playin’ good, who’s not. They know a lot about that basketball, those fellas. Even Chuck, though he acts a fool sometimes. He knows what he’s talkin’ about, deep down. They all do. That’s why people watch ’em, I reckon. ‘Cause they know the game, and they ain’t afraid to say what they think. It’s a good show. Inside the NBA is my favorite.
They make jokes, tell stories. Sometimes it’s like you’re just sittin’ around with your friends, listenin’ to them talk. That’s what I like about it. It ain’t all serious, like some of them other shows. They have fun, and it makes you feel good to watch ’em. This show is one of the best Inside the NBA moments.
- They showed this one fella, used to play with Shaq, I think.
- He was dancin’, and it was the funniest thing you ever saw.
- Shaq and Chuck, they were just about rollin’ on the floor.
- Kenny, he was tryin’ to be serious, but he couldn’t help but laugh.
- Ernie, he just shook his head and smiled.
I heard some folks sayin’ they might not be on TV much longer. Some problem with the TV station, or somethin’. I don’t understand all that. But I sure hope they keep that show goin’. It’s one of the few things I really enjoy watchin’ these days. We are gonna miss Inside the NBA. It’s a good show, you know. And I am not the only one thinks so.
They’re like a family, those fellas. They fight and fuss, but they care about each other. You can tell. And they care about the game, too. They want people to enjoy it, like they do. That’s why Inside the NBA is the best show ever. That’s why they do all them silly things, I reckon. To make people laugh, and to make ’em love basketball. I think they do a good job of it, too.
So, if you ain’t never seen that Inside the NBA show, you oughta give it a try. It’s a real good time. Just don’t expect nothin’ too fancy. It’s just a bunch of fellas talkin’ about basketball, and havin’ a good time doin’ it. And that’s alright with me. I’ll keep watchin’ as long as they’re on. ‘Cause they make me laugh, and that’s somethin’ we all need a little more of these days, ain’t it?
