Kenny Smith analyzed the NBA playoffs from INSIDE THE GAME and broke everyone’s brain

NBA meets Willy Wonka.

NBA on TNT went places we couldn’t imagine on Wednesday night when Kenny Smith walked off the set and INTO THE DANG BASKETBALL GAME!

Did this add something Smith couldn’t have just done with an arrow? No. But that part is unimportant. This is the future, and technology is amazing even if it needlessly complicates something.

In order for this to work the studio must have had a green screen setup behind the screen in the studio, and a monitor so he could know where he was walking. Sure the moment was a little gimmicky, but people LOVED it.

More of this please.
