ESPN have released their long layoffs list of NBA analysts and reporters following the Network’s attempt to cut cost on Salaries. Top NBA game analyst and former NBA Coach Jeff Van Gundy was also part of the layoffs, an unexpected move by the Network as Gundy has been with ESPN for over 16 years and was part of the sideline crew that called the NBA Finals.

As reported by several outlets the move to layoff 20 on-air talents came strictly as a cost saving move. All while Gundy might be one of the best analysts in the Bizz, although his salary was not disclosed to the public, he has been reportedly racking millions of dollars every year from his job and other big names from different sports are also included in the list that could potentially save the media company of tens of millions of dollars.
