TNT’s ‘Inside The NBA’ is sorely missed during the NBA Finals.
For the next week, the NBA Finals will air on ESPN/ABC networks, which means fans will be greeted by a halftime show featuring Malika Andrews, Stephen A. Smith, Bob Myers, Michael Wilbon, and Knicks’ Josh Hart.
Unfortunately, ESPN’s halftime show wasn’t given much time to shine. On Thursday night, during game 1 of the NBA Finals, ESPN’s halftime show crew got about 1 minute of airtime before heading back into a long commercial break.
Strong 35 second segment for espn halftime between commercials.

After returning from a long commercial break, ESPN only aired 22 seconds worth of highlights before heading back to commercials.

Fed-up NBA fans ripped into ESPN’s terrible halftime show.
ESPN trotting out the most embarrassing halftime show. It's the NBA Finals and they put up about 45 seconds of analysis.
