Kenny “The Jet” Smith is embracing the thought of being a free agent.
The “Inside the NBA ” personality might be entering his last year with TNT — where he’s been for more than two decades — if the network’s parent company, Warner Brothers Discovery loses its bid for the NBA ’s media rights with the next contract starting in the 2025-26 season.

“But it’s a lot of fun. If it’s basketball, it’s me. It’s great to be coveted by so many people, even TNT as well,” Smith, 59, said. “Like I said, trying to create something that may live longer than that, or other networks. But it’s basketball, it’s me. This is what I do. I’ve done it for multiple decades. I’ve put myself and I think our show has put themselves in a position where we can all do something together and all do something separately, or we can all do it together.
In July, the NBA secured 11-year agreements to air games on Amazon Prime Video and NBC, while also airing games across Disney platforms, ESPN and ABC.it matched Amazon’s offer “as we have a contractual right to do, and do not believe the NBA can reject” a bid.
