  This is like Millen being on ESPN Countdown. BOOOO!

• ClydeSays Posted: Oct.21 at 1:16 pm
  What?! I want GP!!! He was great. Did he want too much $$$ or something? SLAM needs to get to the bottom of this. Isn’t Lang your man on the inside now? Have him investigate.

• riggs Posted: Oct.21 at 1:20 pm
  are they retarded?!?!? the freakin web & glove combo is what made that show! nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

• riggs Posted: Oct.21 at 1:21 pm
  RONDOOOOOOOO

• Russ Bengtson Posted: Oct.21 at 1:36 pm
  This would only be acceptable if GP replaced McHale as the GM and/or coach of the Timberwolves.

• thesubwayconnection Posted: Oct.21 at 1:38 pm
  Man, I don’t see how this makes any sense at all. FREE C-WEBB!

• riggs Posted: Oct.21 at 1:41 pm
  holy crap my comment sliced through page on firefox

• Bryan Crawford Posted: Oct.21 at 1:53 pm
  That sucks. Especially since I just deleted the Game Night recordings I had of GP & C Webb on my DVR. They just killed the best hoops show on TV.

• edmalhas Posted: Oct.21 at 2:00 pm
  Best hoops show?! Guess I was watching a different channel. That show was a wreck.

• Anton Posted: Oct.21 at 2:36 pm
  This is turrible

• JD Posted: Oct.21 at 2:36 pm
  1.Y?
  2.NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

• Ken Posted: Oct.21 at 2:50 pm
  Co-sign Russ.

• Yesse Posted: Oct.21 at 3:03 pm
  Man im gonna miss the jokes between Gary and Chris.

• wilz Posted: Oct.21 at 3:04 pm
  he was annoying…but ..mchale?

• TADOne Posted: Oct.21 at 3:04 pm
  WTF?!?! This sucks.

• K3V1N3o5 Posted: Oct.21 at 3:12 pm
  Isnt Kenny Smith leaving TNT’s NBA coverage?They have to bring in GP to replace Kenny.

• Sarah Posted: Oct.21 at 3:27 pm
  I guess I’m the only one who couldn’t stand Payton on that show. I doubt McHale will be much better, but at least Gary’s gone.

• sab Posted: Oct.21 at 4:17 pm
  GP thought way too much of himself. but it’s still a shame.

• andrew sanchez Posted: Oct.21 at 4:46 pm
  Worst news I’ve heard all week. No disrespect to mchale but I loved that combo. Individually I didn’t really like any of them but together those 3 made my favorite combo on tv…

• CSP8 Posted: Oct.21 at 5:05 pm
  Sure they weren’t the greatest thing to ever hit TV but CWebb and GP was the perfect fit for that show. They were not overly statistic nor did they go out of their way to bash any player. They were the perfect bball comic relief and breaking them up sucks period juice. Mchale better be the next Bernie Mac, otherwise I will no longer be a fan of “Fan Night”.

• Teddy-the-Bear Posted: Oct.21 at 6:27 pm
  I think we’re going to see a lot more of the Glove.. as a COACH!

• Teddy-the-Bear Posted: Oct.21 at 6:28 pm
  Kenny should stay with TNT. Him, Ernie, and Chuck make TNT sports.

• Gerard Himself Posted: Oct.21 at 6:39 pm
  But wait, Ernie Johnson, McHale and Webber? What happened to Ahmad Rashad then?

• Wendallt Posted: Oct.21 at 7:54 pm
  dumb, now its gonna suck!

• ClydeSays Posted: Oct.21 at 8:26 pm
  I LIKED the fact that GP thought too much of himself. That’s what made him worth watching. Barkely is the same. You have to have an ego to say crazy isht and make people believe it.

• B-more Mike Posted: Oct.21 at 9:03 pm
  Ruined my tuesday nights. Fun in the studio, hall of famers and recent players so you respect their opinions.

• iLL wiLL Posted: Oct.21 at 10:24 pm
  Bad move. McFail?

• KobeWearsAPurpleThong Posted: Oct.22 at 12:04 am
  Thank God-Glove was a great player, but an annoying person.
  I won’t miss those cream colored suits with the giant-ass colors either.
  Thanks NBA TV.

• tealish Posted: Oct.22 at 12:20 am
  @KobeWAPT — GP was GOLD on the set. I will, however, concede the giant collars (if that’s what you meant by “colors”).

• Teddy-the-Bear Posted: Oct.22 at 12:35 am
  I’ll say it more clearly: This could mean Gary Payton is searching for a coaching gig!

• DallasJ Posted: Oct.22 at 2:55 am
  booooo

• DallasJ Posted: Oct.22 at 2:55 am
  booooo

  For further reference on the comedy styling of Kevin McHale, read “Unfinished Business.” He once compared playing in the preseason to “shitting in an outhouse.”

• knock knock Posted: Oct.22 at 8:03 am
  Cant be serious. Gary Payton not only doesn’t know anything, but talks like a dummy. Wasn’t very funny either, ANYBODY ON HERE ACTUALLY WATCH THE SHOW?? You know they replaced him cuzza decline in the ratings, as in ie. no one likes him.

• kev Posted: Oct.22 at 8:38 am
  that show was great!!!!! Webb and gp had great chemistry and humor. It was like sitting with a bunch of your friend s talking hoops! Mchale?? WTF he sucks balls

• NUPE Posted: Oct.22 at 9:03 am
  I guess the show is after more ‘analysis’ and less ‘commentary’. Certainly going to change the personality of the show. GP had such great chemestry with everybody, felt like the fellas just hangin out watching a game. With Mchale I think it won’t be as ‘fun’ but provide more perspective. Got to wait and see how much I like it.

• Cordeazy Posted: Oct.22 at 9:48 am
  boooooooooooooo indeed

• CP Posted: Oct.22 at 10:31 am
  I will say it if no one eles dose,I think C-Webb & GP were a little to Black For NBA TV’s liking

• Allenp Posted: Oct.22 at 11:45 am
  I don’t know if they were too black, but they are a little too unpredictable. And not in the “I’m kinda stupid” Charles Barkely way.
  GP and Chris had a tendency to say anything about everything. Plus, McHale is a GM so he has more cache with the bigwigs.

• thebigticket05 Posted: Oct.22 at 1:32 pm
  hmmm i’ve been hearing nothing but good thing about the show on NBATV with c webb and gp(i wish i had NBATV but no money:(, but neways i wonder why that gp isnt coming back?

• Heals Posted: Oct.23 at 12:36 am
  I think most agree this has nothing to do with McHale, and everything to do wih C-Webb and GP. Damn say it isn’t so, it just seems so unesscessary. I mean C-Webb and GP were one of the best things about last season…

• SLAM ONLINE | » ‘The Glove’ Has Come Off Posted: Oct.24 at 8:01 am
  [...] But what makes the news even “worser,” was who the network decided to replace Ahmad and Gary with; Ernie Johnson and Kevin McHale? So now the Tuesday night on-air talent will be EJ, CWebb and Kevin McHale. Could there be an odder trio on television?Related StoriesMcHale Replaces Gary Payton on NBA TV [...]

• hangkwong Posted: Oct.25 at 9:21 pm
  Bring back GP!

• Shannon Booher Posted: Oct.28 at 6:45 am
  This news has ruined my day/night/week/month.

• B. Pierce Posted: Nov.10 at 7:37 pm
  I think the Glove and Chris Webber were a good fit.. I think NBATV can use Gary Payton as a guest analyst from time to time with C-Webb or let him do some guest spots.. I looked fwd to GP and C-Webb on Tuesday nights… McHale isn’t exciting to me on TV.. He need to go back to the TWolves in a another role.. I know Rick Kamala is licking Mchale’s azz now………

• Dj Champps Posted: Nov.9 at 10:52 pm
  Payton And C-Web combo was entertaing, made the show better…What was NBA thinking?
