For long time viewers of TNT's NBA coverage, it's always a shock to see a studio show that isn't hosted by Ernie Johnson.
Over the course of the last three seasons that has been the case on Tuesday nights, with Adam Lefkoe sliding into the role alongside Shaquille O'Neal, Candace Parker and Dwyane Wade.
