On this episode of Missing the Point, Dave Clarke and Mike Marcangelo break down one of the biggest media shakeups in modern basketball: Inside the NBA is moving from TNT to ESPN. What does this mean for the most beloved sports show in TV history? Will ESPN let Charles Barkley, Ernie Johnson, Shaq, and Kenny do their thing—or will they butcher the format with hot takes and overproduced segments? The guys also debate whether Stephen A. Smith will join the cast—and if so, will he respect the legacy or hijack it?
Then we dive into the Knicks' shocking firing of Tom Thibodeau after reaching the Eastern Conference Finals. Could this be about a potential Kevin Durant trade? Plus, we break down Joe Mazzulla’s coaching issues in Boston, why Jayson Tatum's injury may close the Celtics' title window, and whether it’s time for a rebuild.
