All-New Original Episodes to Premiere Saturday, Nov. 2, at Noon ET
NBA Inside Stuff, the ground-breaking sports and entertainment all-access show, is coming to NBA TV with brand-new episodes featuring co-hosts Grant Hill and Kristen Ledlow set to debut Saturday, Nov. 2, at Noon ET. The series, which last aired in 2005, will combine some of the franchise's most celebrated segments - redefined versions of "Jam Session" and "Rewind" - with in-depth interviews highlighting some of the NBA's biggest stars and more, all packaged with a fresh new look.
The 30-minute show will be televised weekly throughout the NBA season (26 episodes), along with several special editions airing at select times during the year. The return of NBA Inside Stuff will also include brand extensions across the entire NBA Digital portfolio and social media integration across all platforms.
"We look forward to bringing Inside Stuff to the next generation of NBA fans," said Christina Miller, senior vice president and general manager of NBA Digital. "The series will offer fun, original content for our fans including all access features, must-see highlights and all-new segments which we will present across all screens"
Hill, who recently retired following an 18-year NBA career, will also be joining Turner Sports as an analyst for NBA TV and TNT. He was a seven-time NBA All-Star, five-time All-NBA selection, three-time winner of the NBA Sportsmanship Award and NBA co-Rookie of the Year in 1995. Hill, the third overall pick in the 1994 NBA Draft, played for the Detroit Pistons, Orlando Magic, Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Clippers during his NBA career. He won two NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championships at Duke University, where his No. 33 is retired.
Ledlow is co-host of The Morning Drive, a sports radio talk show airing on 92.9FM The Game in Atlanta. She's previously served as a field reporter for Fox Sports and Scout.com covering SEC and ACC football and basketball. Additionally, Ledlow has anchored ABC 27 News and has been a sideline reporter for 97.9 ESPN Radio in Tallahassee, Fla.
Known for its trademark off-the-court features with NBA players, NBA Inside Stuff originally aired from 1990-2005, providing fans with a unique perspective of the game. The trailblazing weekly magazine show was hosted by Emmy Award winner Ahmad Rashad and included a variety of co-hosts through the years, including Julie Moran, Willow Bay, and Summer Sanders.
