Welcome to the Sports Media Podcast. I'm your host Richard Dyche. My producer is Patrick Antonetti. This is a featured clip.

And the subject of our future clip is Kenny Smith, who is in his 25th year as a studio analyst for inside the NBA. He will be part of a ton of coverage

when it comes to the NBA All-Star game airing on Warner Brothers Discovery and all its various networks.

As part of this clip, Kenny Smith talks about the impact that inside the NBA has had when it comes to alternative telecats at other

networks and podcasting. I want to thank Patrick Antonetti for his hard work and

thank you to everybody at

Odyssey we will see you soon on the sports media podcast.

Well I think we created alternative sports.

Yeah, I would agree with that.

I think I'll show created that.

You know, I always, I think you, you came in and you were saying you know the history of our show and iconic and all those things I think the one thing that we've added that most people forget is there I think we we helped create the way sports

television has looked at today in terms of podcast, alternative television, the way you interact on engagement.

Because when I came onto the show when we first started, it was he talks the next guy talks then the third

guy talks everyone has there 15 seconds regardless of the what the other person

says we change we flipped that upside down and basically said no. If you listen and you don't like what someone says you can interrupt them just like a normal conversation. There is no production meetings.

Charles myself and Shaq have never been to a production meeting ever.

You know, famous. And so you know that's we just flipped it

upside down and we made producers our producers and which they not made

them but they trusted that we come and prepared

and we come in with our personalities.

And that's what everything is about today.

I think every show kind of mimics that, but it did not exist.
