It's official: Kerr back with TNT

Not that this comes as any surprise, as I figured this would be the case the moment he left the Suns general manager post, but Steve Kerr is back with TNT. The five-time NBA champion previously served as a game analyst alongside Marv Albert for TNT before leaving for his job with the Suns.

It has not yet been said who Kerr will be working with at TNT this time around. Last season, Albert worked with Reggie Miller and Mike Fratello while Kevin Harlan worked with Doug Collins. Once the conference finals came around, Albert and Collins joined forces. But Collins is now off to coach the 76ers and while he'll no doubt be seeking a television gig somewhere for the 2012-13 season, TNT for now will have to decide how to set up their broadcasts.

I thought Kerr and Albert were excellent together with Fratello when they were a threesome and I hope TNT goes back to that. Miller is really best off in the studio and should just Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson while TNT looks for a new partner for Harlan (perhaps NBA TV's Kevin McHale?).
