I really hope that they don't try to shoehorn Stephen A into this. Maybe once or twice just so they can clown him, but otherwise no.

I'd like to see it for that reasons, too, just a one off, but I have the very real fear ESPN will go stupid when they see the one off ratings for the appearance and be like, "Ernie, move aside."

They would be really stupid to even attempt that. The entire crew would tell them to f*ck off.
Inside the NBA going to ESPN isn't a case of Inside the NBA needing ESPN. ESPN needs Inside the NBA.

Randle is cold blooded. Nice to see he brought his winning ways to Minny!

Re: Around the NBA - New Season, New Thread
I'm bored watching football with friends. I'll chime in on atopic we rarely talk about here.
Randle and RJ both play boring basketball. Rj was "easier" to like cause he was the kid. But it became clear he just didnt have the talent or athleticism to be a star. Tbh, he seemed like the Kirkland brand randle. Randle was the better player. I never really got why rj fans hated randle. That's rj's ceiling. A low efficient chucker who is a mediocre defender with emotional maturity. I'm just glad both are not our problem anymore. We upgrade both with og and kat.

They would've called an offensive foul if he did that as a Knick

To be fair RJs style is more inexcusable than Julius'. I mean what do you expect from a power forward? We've never seen the Jokic or LeBron of the power forwards. You are either Anthony Davis, Giannis, Dirk, early KG and Duncan type of players chucking plenty of shots either on the post or from a spot, being the stars or first choices of their teams, or you are a complimentary piece the type of Rodmans, Gordons, late KGs and Duncans that occasionally get the ball off of a greater teammate but are mostly hustling and defending.
Julius can still be this guy to Ant with rare flashes like yesterdays.
But RJ is completely gone. A failed project. He will be in China in 3 years or a journey man torturing Charles Barkley on "Who he plays for".
