"Damn so we are stuck with Doris Burke."

Other fans joined in to express their opinions on the matter.

"NBA getting worst by the day smh," @WheelerJaylen said.
"Damn NBA has lost Kevin Harlan too. We can't have anything good," @JoakimMuse said.
"It would be a shame if he wasn’t commentating games anymore. Just a shame... His insight really brings a lot of value," @agoyz429 said.

While Reggie Miller was loved by some fans, he also had his fair share of critics. While many fans expressed their sadness about losing him, some expressed their happiness to see him go.

"This perhaps the best thing to come from NBA on TNT going away," @PresdientCater said.
"It should stay that way. Reggie is absolutely trash on tv!" @LifeofJuanTwo said.

There has been no official announcement of Miller's departure and there is a possibility that he can stay if TNT manages to cook some deal with the NBA. However, with his talents on the microphone, even if he ends up leaving TNT, Miller can be picked up by any major network covering the sport.

Reggie Miller holds on to a 'pulse' for Inside the NBA with his recent Instagram post

As TNT is on the brink of losing its NBA rights, the fans are concerned about the future of the popular analysis show 'Inside the NBA'. Featuring Reggie Miller, Shaquille O'Neal, Charles Barkley, Ernie Johnson Jr. and Kenny Smith, 'Inside the NBA' is one of the most popular post-game shows on TV.

TNT losing its rights means an end for the show and also for the partnership between Miller and the crew. However, in a recent Instagram post, the 'Inside the NBA' host looked forward to spending another season with the crew.

"Well we have a pulse!! Now where it goes from here is above my pay grade, all I know is I’m excited to start my 20th season in the Fall with these dudes..," Reggie Miller wrote.

It has been reported that TNT is planning to match its competitor's bids in the rights race. They would try to grab the media rights for the league which would allow them to keep the show alive.
