Simmons has very good media sources, usually always right on this stuff. TNT really fumbled it because they squabbled over a small handful of games

Right? These guys forget, the more 'hated' and controversial he is, the better for ratings. This is the Charles Barkley story playing out again almost exactly the same. These guys will tune in for sure to hate watch him like some people do Skip Bayless or Steven A or whomever. This goes all the way back to Howard Cosell, the original sports commentator who lots of people 'hated' but they all watched

He’ll work wherever he wants to.

Used to assume he’d coach.

But that’s a lot of work.

I think he should look into debate shows

He's learning, if you don't think he'll be on those shows after he retires not sure what to tell you. But yeah, he needs to get better. None of them were awesome right out of the gate.

I gave those up years ago.

But might watch if he’s involved.

Could be right but he doesn’t really have a ton of charm. Most who know him and work with him tolerate him. They don’t really like him or enjoy his company. I think he has a future in media but more like a Colin Cowherd Screaming A Smith hot take artist. He’ll be another personality that exemplifies everything wrong with what sports media has become.

Nobody has a kind word to say about him. When Team USA would travel you’d never see him out with the rest of the team. Almost every episode of his pod is him solo because nobody wants to go on it. He’s a cvnt
