The New York Knicks’ loss to the Indiana Pacers in Game 4 on Tuesday night may have marked the final episode of Inside the NBA on TNT, depending on how the series unfolds. If the Pacers close out soon, the show’s TNT run will end, though the Knicks could still push the series to a Game 7.
The show will continue on ESPN next year in some form, but the move signals the end of an era. Ahead of the TNT finale, Shaq, Charles, Kenny, and Ernie made sure to celebrate and spread goodwill.
On Tuesday, the crew honored stage manager Nicole by inviting her on camera and surprising her with a large Louis Vuitton gift bag. She received heartfelt thanks from the crew and cheers from Pacers fans who stayed to watch.
While Inside the NBA is expected to return mostly unchanged on ESPN, this network shift marks a significant change for the team behind the show.
