Simmons would not mesh well at all with Shaq, Chuck, and Kenny. That's as good of a studio team as you get for any sport.

Simmons did a good job of acting like he loved Magic being on the crew. But this is a good move for the show, Magic was up there for nostalgia. Too many times the other guys would serve him up softball questions and he wouldn't be able to remember who the Grizzlies starting PG was. As someone said on twitter, Simmons is the only guy up there who would even pretend that he has League Pass.


This! It's a good riddance...Jalen will shine too!

Regardless of the merits of the programming decision, it's pretty impressive that Simmons went from a blogger to pretty much owning ESPN in the span of a decade.


This is a sad indictment of society.

And I used to be a Simmons fan when I was younger.

Simmons sucks so much.


He is terrible.
At least Magic has some cred.

Shaq and Charles have nothing to say,but they are entertaining saying nothing.

Simmons nack for pop culture references.



You so realize that the NBA is basically pop culture.

Kick Bill off that show. He sucks worse than Magic. At least Magic can give insight to the game from a great players POV.

TNT is the GOAT sports broadcasting show though. Any sport. Any channel, IMO. They even have Chris Webber is great too, but he's not on much anymore.

Both magic and simmons sucked arse.

Jalen was the only one worth a damn, and that's stretching it.
