How hideous is Shaq as an analyst on TNT?

[bmulls]

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.

I have not heard Shaq make a single insightful comment about basketball since he's been on TNT. Literally not even 1.

He's annoying... he thinks he's funny, but he's not. They would be better off letting him go back to rapping and making low budget films.

[SmokinPenguin]

It's so awkward with him there I sometimes feel for the guy. Maybe they should have him doing other things for the show. Maybe do after game interviews at the arena or some other stupid gag. One thing for sure, he doesn't belong where he is now

Dude you need to calm down. Its just a darn TV show.

The games are what matters...

really?


- ITNBA is a culture a way of life......It's more then a show...it's a event.

- Hardc ore fans will agree......some games deliver some of the times.....ITNBA always delivers.....until Shaq brought it down to meh.

Doesn't bother me, I don't care either way. Doing other things during half-time, not going to stress myself out over it.

You are clearly so much better than everyone else.

The show is pretty bad for analysis no matter who's on since it's all cliches and standard platitudes without rigor. Entertainment-wise Shaq is cringe worthy but sometimes his awkwardness and weird rivalry with Barkley is entertaining in and of itself, similar to Reggie Miller being one of the worst announcers but going over the line twice to become kinda good.

Exactly. The topic has be discussed ad nauseum.

Ok. You don't like Shaq. We get it. Move on.

Hard to believe these are actual grown men bitching and complaining about a man like a bunch of old hens.

You can't be serious.


Either you are mentally ill, a comedic genius, or really lame.

[Go Getter]

I'm a viewer and it's a ****ing critique. I liked the goddamn show more when his stupid ass wasn't on it, not hard to understand. What we could do is go through your post history and find out whenever you complained about something you insufferable prick. I don't really give a damn who else ovulates over this topic, they're not my concern. You sound like a whiny broad complaining about a thread, if you don't care then piss off.

So you admit to acting like a chick on the rag over this?



My work here is done.

This is the ACTUAL problem of him on the show. I never expected to get deep analysis from Shaq. Nor would I want him to do so. TNT thought they were getting another light hearted funny man, who could fit in with the show's already nice hearted, self deprecating humor and nature. Instead, we peel back the layers and see the real Shaq. The guy was never funny, he made cute quips at times in small doses. The guy is egomaniacal, insecure beyond belief and can't laugh at himself to save his life. Takes things too seriously. It's no wonder why he's had beef with any great ball player who played with him, and no wonder he's been so spiteful for no particular valid reasons to every franchise he's left. The guy is a dumb ass, and makes the viewing experience of what was once a fun show to be completely unbearable and awkward. He hates Dwight Howard because they are essentially the same thing. Con men. They think they're both funny (they're not) and both are extremely corny, and insecure.

And then you have these dimestore psych majors who diagnose people they've never met over the TV.

SMH.

No wonder Shaq and Kobe had chemistry problems in LA! This guy's ego is HUGE!
