Shaquille O'Neal insists 'Inside the NBA' won't change at ESPN: 'Chuck's not changing, I'm not changing'
Shaquille O'Neal, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson are going to have a new home next season when "Inside the NBA" makes the transition to ESPN. So far, it's looking like the show will be very similar to the one beloved by fans. During an appearance on "The Rich Eisen Show" on Friday, O'Neal insisted that neither he nor Barkley will ever change, while praising the professionalism of Johnson and Smith. He also hinted at having a situation similar to "The Pat McAfee Show" which is also syndicated by ESPN from a different company. Advertisement O'Neal's response: "I don't have any concerns because I know one guy that you're never going to change, and I know another guy that's really close to him. The other two guys — listen, Ernie is a consummate professional and he can adapt to any situation. Ernie is the guy that really keeps us out of trouble and Kenny is professional, but Chuck is right there on the line and I'm right below Chuck. Chuck's not changing, I'm not changing. "I actually saw something yesterday where it said ESPN is going to give us the same no-look that they give Pat McAfee. So, listen, we're just going to go have fun, do what we do and talk about the game that we love and just try to make people laugh." Eisen noted that his own show is in a similar situation, with a return to ESPN coming this fall. The "Inside the NBA" crew recently wrapped its lengthy run on TNT, where it had become an iconic part of the NBA media ecosystem. When TNT's parent company of Warner Bros. Discovery lost its NBA rights, the future of the show was in question until the network cut a deal with ESPN. It's going to be the same "Inside the NBA" on a different network. (Photo by Andrew Burke-Stevenson/The Boston Globe via Getty Images) (Boston Globe via Getty Images) TNT will continue to independently produce the show while airing it on ESPN, which reportedly plans to give the show its usual timeframe. Barkley has made perfectly clear he has no plans to change to fit in better at ESPN given how much he has blasted some of his future co-workers in recent months. Barkley has also said he plans to retire after two more seasons, though he's walked back retirement plans before.

Tottenham fires Ange Postecoglou weeks after Europa League title
Tottenham finally got their trophy, but now they don't have a coach. The club has sacked manager Ange Postecoglou on Friday, just over two weeks after winning the Europa League title. He was two years into his four-year contract with the club. 3 Ange Postecoglou during a Premier League match against Brighton & Hove Albion. Getty Images 'Following a review of performances and after significant reflection, the Club can announce that Ange Postecoglou has been relieved of his duties,' the team said in a statement. 'Whilst winning the Europa League this season ranks as one of the Club's greatest moments, we cannot base our decision on emotions aligned to this triumph.' In the Europa League final, a 42nd-minute goal by Brennan Johnson was enough to stave off Manchester United. In a larger context, the win guaranteed the club a spot in next year's UEFA Champions League and UEFA Super Cup. But that was one of the only bright spots of the season. Tottenham finished 17th in the Premier League, their worst-ever finish in the club's history, and were just one spot away from the relegation zone. 3 Ange Postecoglou holds up the Europa League Trophy after beating Manchester United 1-0. AFP via Getty Images 'This has been one of the toughest decisions we have had to make and is not a decision that we have taken lightly, nor one we have rushed to conclude,' the team added. 'We have made what we believe is the right decision to give us the best chance of success going forward, not the easy decision.' Postecoglou, who won two league titles with Celtic FC of Scotland before coming to the EPL, finished his time at Tottenham with a 47-15-39 record. One of Tottenham's best players, Pedro Porro, thanked Postecoglou on Instagram for all that he had done for him during his time at the club. 'Thank you for everything, boss,' he wrote. 'For mentoring me early on, helping me settle into the club, and trusting me out on the pitch. I'll always be grateful for the way you led us, defended us, and kept us going through all the highs and lows. Above everything, you gave us one of the greatest moments in the club's history and for that, you'll always be celebrated. Wishing you all the very best, boss.' 3 Pedro Porro, one of Tottenham's best players. REUTERS Tottenham will have to find a new manager soon, as the summer transfer window is just one month away.
