#ESPN cancels its Kevin Durant experiment

Kevin Durant’s show has been cancelled by ESPN, The Post has learned.

“The Boardroom,” featuring Durant, Jay Williams and Durant’s agent Rich Kleiman, will not be renewed after being on ESPN for two seasons. While there are no public metrics for shows on this platform, ESPN is able to internally identify engagement and its impact on the $4.99-per-month subscription-based service.

“The Boardroom is not being renewed following two seasons on ESPN ,” ESPN said in a statement to The Post. “Thirty Five Ventures are great partners and we look forward to continuing to discuss any future projects.”

“The Boardroom” was publicized at its start as a program to “bring fans behind the scenes of the modern boardroom, showcasing the evolution of sports business through the minds of athletes, sports executives and tech moguls alike.” It didn’t make that many waves, except for one episode that featured Stephen A. Smith.

Durant, 31, has been out all year while rehabbing a ruptured Achilles. He will not be playing when the Nets resume play at the end of this month in Orlando. Williams was recently promoted to join Keyshawn Johnson and Zubin Mehenti as the new hosts of ESPN Radio’s morning show.

Durant and Kleiman have created the company “Thirty Five Ventures” to develop projects, much the way LeBron James has with “Uninterrupted,” which features “The Shop” on HBO, among other projects.

Ultimately, though, as “The Boardroom” tried to demonstrate, the end decisions are just business, no matter who you are.
