Quote of the Day
We’re going to have a lot of voices chiming in. Hopefully that will create a better editorial narrative and make it more entertaining. You either have the coach that just lost or the coach that’s about to play the winner, so there’s some banter that could start to happen. We’re not going to control the narrative; we just want to amplify it.’
Craig Barry, TNT Sports EVP and chief content officer, on the various people that will appear on TNT's NBA All-Star Game broadcast.
