Inside the NBA

Inside the NBA is a halftime and postgame studio show for selected NBA on ESPN broadcasts, having previously aired for NBA on TNT broadcasts from 1989 to 2025. The show has been hosted since 1990 by Ernie Johnson, joined on set by three analysts: Kenny Smith (since 1998), Charles Barkley (since 2000), and Shaquille O'Neal (since 2011). Notable former analysts have included Magic Johnson (2003–2007), Reggie Miller (2008–2011), and Chris Webber (2008–2011). Since the early 2000s, the show has consistently been rated as among the best sports analysis shows on American television, and over its history has won nineteen Sports Emmy Awards. From the 2025–26 season onwards, the show (along with the pregame edition NBA Tip-Off) airs on selected ABC and ESPN broadcasts, as part of a sub-licensing agreement between parent companies the Walt Disney Company and Warner Bros. Discovery, with the program being produced by Warner Bros. Television Studios under the TNT Sports brand.
