There was a lot of news about how ESPN had canceled Kevin Durant’s “The Boardroom,” his and Rich Kleiman’s behind-the-scenes look at pro athletes’ business sense. It featured KD, Kleiman and Jay Williams and was shown on ESPN+, the $4.99-a-month pay service of the network.
Both ESPN and Thirty Five Ventures, Durant’s investment vehicle, issued statements praising the effort despite the cancellation.
“Thirty Five Ventures are great partners and we are actively working on creative ways to continue bringing The Boardroom to sports fans across our platforms in the year ahead,” said ESPN.
