Yes that’s right. Bill Simmons. Everybody’s favourite analyst, is leaving NBA Countdown and will get his own basketball show on ESPN named “The Grantland Basketball Show With Bill Simmons“. This was confirmed with an ESPN Press Release.
The Grantland Basketball Show will feature lively discussion about a variety of NBA topics, facilitated by Simmons, with a rotating group of Grantland commentators and other contributors. Up to 18 one-hour, primetime episodes of The Grantland Basketball Show will air throughout the NBA season on ESPN, including eight during the regular-season and eight during the NBA Playoffs and NBA Finals. Other episodes are planned for the NBA Draft and the NBA’s free agency period.
What’s good with Bill Simmons is that he sticks his neck out regularly and even if he gets his head chopped by the fellow media, he suddenly grows another head! The guy is seemingly invincible!
