How hideous is Shaq as an analyst on TNT?

[AngelEyes]

At the end of last season I actually thought the giant sack of shit was improving a bit but right now I'm questioning if he's getting worse or not. He completely disrupts the flow of Barkley, EJ, and Kenny, constantly interrupting people with his inane thoughts. He seems to be gaining more confidence to take over the show at times and this is only a bad thing because it detracts from Barkley's output.

His attempted analysis of Dwight Howard is tiresome and quite grating, Shaq has the tremendous propensity to repeat the same point over and over again. O'neal was funny as a player because his quips were in very small doses and he wasn't required to give thoughtful analysis and construct an intelligent point.

Inside the NBA was the finest sports show on television with the big three of Charles, EJ and kenny. It's still a good show but it is suffering tremendously because of Shaq and his douchiness.

Shaq diminishes the lightness of the show and adds an uncomfortable vibe for the viewer with all his insecurities.

Yes, that's true. It's absolutely necessary and I'd like to say your welcome to everyone for my harsh critique. If there's one thing I do it's bring necessary points to the table.

He's better than Barkley. At least he has some credibility from his rings.

If by better you mean infinitely worse, then I agree. Shaq has no redeeming qualities as an analysts and his goddamn rings give him no credibility as a fucking analyst. He's bad and not getting better.

Holy shit

Come on man. Credibility. Please.

I'd rather you extract my eyeballs with a white hot pincer, than listen Barkley's drawl.

O'neal is worse, end of story.

O'neal is worse, end of story.

Agree to disagree.


I think Kenny is great though.

Agree to disagree.

With respect, you don't agree. You just hate Shaq because he's ripped us in the past. There's no argument. You're not stupid. I know you're not.

[muppets]

Agreed. They should put Chris Webber back and fire Shaq.

Barkley you mean. Even without his hatred of the Knicks, his analysis sucks.

At least bring guys on the set that sound literate. Barkley sounds like JHS dropout.


To be fair, Shaq doesn't sound like the sharpest tool in the shed either, and his pure hatred for Dwight is unfounded. But he knows his basketball better than Barkley.
