I'm interested to see how inside the NBA is going to work on ESPN

I guess it'll be an hour, at least. One issue I had previously was how they'd play fast and loose with how long episodes were. Hopefully it stays true to it's past and doesn't conform to ESPN's regular BB coverage.

Wemby looked insanely good last night. MVP good.

It's interesting how name players drift out of the NBA and end up overseas. We are often unaware of it until later.
