HoS: Nate Jones on NBA vs. TNT Fight

Discussing why the NBA's rejecting TNT, future of entertainment, election in social media age

Nate Jones, current NBA agent and insole entrepreneur, has a lot of smart thoughts on our favorite topics. Today we discuss the big news in NBA media: Warner Bros (Turner Sports) is insisting it has the right to match a TV rights deal and the NBA says it doesn’t. Is this about to get ugly? Why must fans be deprived of Inside the NBA?

  • Are broadcasters overpaying for the NBA? Or is this the path to riches?

  • David Stern is a McDonald's guy. Adam Silver is a Taco Bell guy

  • Why Nate thinks the NBA needs stars playing more years of college ball

  • Men’s college basketball is well known; Women’s college basketball is known well

  • Why NCAA basketball doesn’t help the NBA like NCAA football helps the NFL

  • Nate tells us whether he believes Jaylen Brown’s contention that he was left off Team USA due to Nike

  • Nate and I discuss what is sure to be a highly contentious election discourse, anchored in the political gender gap
