Probationary period is over. Shaq sucks in media.

[Fawker]

Shaq tested the wrong waters after his career. He should be humbled right about now. The unarticulated but knowledgeable role will always belong to Chuck, not him. His quietness shows he is not truly knowledgeable outside of his experience. He is even learning more about the game in his retirement more than ever.

[Bodhi]

I wouldn't mind Shaq if he was on any crew other than the TNT one. Ernie, Kenny, and Barkley have amazing chemistry and put together a great show and Shaq just ruins that.

[stallionaire]

:oldlol: @ Shaq holding up that piece of paper with a '10' written on it in pencil

Just looked like a piece of paper.

[TonyD]

He is hit or miss for me at an even split, hopefully he gets better.

[tazb]

dont get why dudes hate on him...?

he's bringing nothing negative to the table, only more lawls.

get over it

you know the Three Musketeers? It's perfect. they don't need a 4th musketeer to come in and ruin the chemistry and hog the attention and try really really hard to fit in with the other three musketeers.

Shaq is the 4th Musketeer.

[TheBluest]

Shaw is awful and he makes all those guys feel awkward

[joshwake]

have to agree. He brings nothing to improve it and it does make it awkward at times.

[1987_Lakers]

Shaq tries to be funny, but he ends up looking like a hater. You can tell Barkley & Kenny don't like him, but Ernie is always kissing his a.ss.

Shaq on NBATV with Chris Webber? That's fine.

Shaq on TNT? Do not want.

Shaq is only there cause he is Shaq, which is stupid, the material he brings is ordinary as shit. Compare his responses to the other 3 and hes as dull as a stone wall, he just doesnt fit in, Chris Webber or G-money would be 10x better than him.

[UtahJazzFan88]

He's "OK" I guess, but he's worth keeping when he argues with Chuck. :oldlol:

[1987_Lakers]

Bring back GP and replace Shaq with Webber. That's all I want.

[miller-time]

shaq needs writers.

[1987_Lakers]

I also kind of miss McHale, not only was he funny, but he was 1000000x more knowledgeable than Shaq.

[Matty2Cool]

c web was good

[Pinkhearts]

You've never read that book, have you?

LOL. This is good!

[comerb]

You've never read that book, have you?


Glad at least one other person on this board is educated enough to realize how dumb that analogy was.

[FindingTim]

LOL no :lol
you caught me

[FindingTim]

Glad at least one other person on this board is educated enough to realize how dumb that analogy was.

hey c'mon let's not get too personal! I have never read the book.
I tried too hard with my response and it was ill-informed and fell flat (kind of like Shaq on TNT)

I'm an idiot, alright. My naivete was illuminated.

[Pinkhearts]

Watch less basketball

Read more books

[JGXEN]

Bring back GP and replace Shaq with Webber. That's all I want.
Watching GP and Kenny go at each other on Inside the NBA brings a tear to my eye :roll:

[Punpun]

I don't see it. Barkley and Shaq going at each other is ****ing gold.

[FindingTim]

Watch less basketball

Read more books

fair enough.

There was a 4th musketeer. That was the main character of the book :facepalm

[yobore]

as someone who just looks at the highlights of the show, shaq seems pretty good. he must be terrible during the parts that dont show up on youtube for all these haters

[Quickening]

There was a 4th musketeer. That was the main character of the book :facepalm

:lol at people acting like the three musketeers is a must read..... just go watch the film, you see the 4th guy in that.

[Ken_Masters]

O'neal is horrible on TNT

[hawksdogsbraves]

It's just that he tries to fill the role of the uncouth funny ex player that Barkley already fills. And he's a lot worse at it. So he's redundant as well as unfunny.

C-Webb is much better, but honestly they don't even really need a fourth person up there most of the time. Not sure why they're always tinkering with it.

[Derka]

Bro, the chemistry between the three was awesome. Then the candy bar came along and ****ed it up.

[Reverend Hoops]

Gary Payton is better than Shaq at what he does. I LOL'ed everytime GP was on.

[t-rex]

TNT, please get Shaq off the air. He is an embarrassment.:facepalm

[LMFAO]

FTW :cheers:

[talkingconch]

gary payton or cwebb on this would be great television. continuous awards galore.

they have great chemistry. If you could get them together = :bowdown:

[Shepseskaf]

Shaq has been a disaster on TNT, and it was predictable. He was never funny or insightful to me. Just a boring mumbler with nothing of value to contribute.

[Hermit]

I guess he is there to stay for the long haul. 3 years to be infact :rolleyes: Probably raped TNT for big bucks too, earns more than Chuck and Kenny solely for his presense. CWebb or Reggie in the studio was not this bad. Shaq has less than ISH poster type of knowledge. All he talks about is himself and his dominance in the 2'000's.

That's Dr. O'Neal to you. :pimp:

Shaq was asking some dumb ass questions....
:facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

Chuck: what percent do you feel you are currently at?
-Zbo answers question
Shaq: I've been in situations as well where injured and having to return, how do you really feel?
-Zbo answers with the EXACT same fukkin answer

Shaq: It first starts with Belief, do you BELIEVE you can win in the next to rounds?

:biggums: :biggums: :biggums: :biggums:
:facepalm :facepalm

Naw Shaq, they think they have no chance in hell...who hired this nikka....

Payton was too hood for them.

[ClutchOver9000]

:lol Shaq is so bad...

[UtahJazzFan88]

Shaq actually for once made a good point, he was talking about Carmelo laughing after a game, and I really don't understand why Carmelo does that. I actually think that's part of the reason why he's clutch but it just seems weird to me that he's smiling and laughing after a game is over.

[strifed169]

No offense to Shaq but he brings too much proffesionalism to the show and is always serious and when he tries to be funny its forced with a fake ass laugh, he doesn't belong on that panel with the original 3.

[1987_Lakers]

I've always wondered the same thing. Apparently its his nature...

[QUOTE]In the moments after he had led Syracuse to its first national championship, someone asked the freshman with the glowing countenance why, even at the most critical times in the title game in the Superdome, was he smiling?

:roll: a big WTF formed in front of me when i noticed this part of the segment as well.

i think c-webb is pretty good, he's laid back without interrupting the flow. tnt should ether bring c-webb in or allow for players as guests.

[chazzy]

I hate when he laughs extra hard at his own jokes

[Funnyfuka]

he s immature, frustrated, uneducated, he looks like a bum compared to the others. He s just there cause some marketing genius thought he would appeal to a younger audience but fact is he makes the whole thing feel incredibly awkyard everytime he s there. When i see him i think "oh no, not him again".
Enough with that shit, he just doesnt fit and ruins it all, gtfo.

[Punpun]

Holy ****, you guys are straight up case of "THey changed it, it sucks". WHen it doesn't. :oldlol:

[Funnyfuka]

the **** are you talking about retard. He s been sucking hard from the very beginning and it never improved the least. He s lucky he s still there.

Shaq is Hilarious. He's seem to be getting a little more comfortable. He's speaking louder and more clear now. Chuck and Shaq have me rolling every show.
