Story Highlights

Over the years, Warner Bros. Discovery Sports has been able to capture lightning in a bottle every week during the NBA season with Inside the NBA. When the playoffs hit the calendar, the combination of host Ernie Johnson and analysts Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal, and Kenny Smith always find the delicate balance of covering the game while also having a ton of fun. The 2022 version was awarded the 2023 Sports Emmy for Outstanding Studio Show Limited Run.

At the ceremony, Warner Bros. Discovery Sports' Executive Vice President/Chief Content Officer Craig Barry describes what it means to add another Emmy to the trophy case, ponders the legacy of the show, and how it's changed the way studio shows are produced.
