I understand you mad. But the fact is there are plenty of shows on espn that do it exactly the way you describe it should be done. However this show is more highly rated and the hosts are paid a premuim salary compared to the other network. So this disdain you claim is overstated. Fans have shown that they enjoy this in higher numbers than they have shown that they enjoy the alternative
And they've won several Emmy's as well. It's like the GOAT NBA show because it's entertaining. If you want to just hear x and o talk, then tune in to some other show. Hell No Chill Gill is a great one for breakdowns of the game.

People still think playing defense like its 2003 will work in the long run. They just dont understand you have to guard 4 of the 5 players out to 26-27 feet these days. There is no better or worse NBA, just different skill sets over time and you have to adjust accordingly.

Karl Anthony Towns is a career 23/12/3 guy on 53% shooting and 40% three point shooter. Thats better than Dan Majerle who people saw as a shooter in the 90s. How in the world are you going to sag off of him and wait for the driving guard in a PNR?

And KAT is seen as a laughing stock :mjlol:
If you heard Barkley on The Ringer he went in on this example and kept railing against and he came off very out of touch with how shyt is. Basically he wants big men who shoot well to waste that aspect of their game to focus on their post game when depending on who you are, you're either kicking out to worse shooters than you or you're gonna get killed in the post and get no calls to boot.


Some stuff I did agree with him on, but mostly he came off as someone pining for yesteryear.

I don't know why guys are making excuses for Shaq and Charles complete lack of basketball insight, acting as if the only alternative is for a bore who wears a white lab coat.

NBA media and fans are hot trash. I enjoy the game and the game alone.
NBA fans don't care about the game primarily. It's easier to jerk off to "Kyle Kuzma and a 2031 2nd for LaVine :krs:" trade proposals than go into why certain plays were run and how some players are put in positions to succeed and why some guys aren't.


I will say that content is out there, but fans get very insecure about learning shyt.

I’m saying, they got rid of the OG Fan Night because apparently it was too much clown shyt but now it’s cool and to be expected with the Inside crew? TNT be coddling the shyt out that crew and they ain’t even all that frfr.

Mind you, there’s nothin wrong with having a good time and having a light hearted show with some analysis but to me this is where the NFL outdoes the NBA. shyt feels like it matters more in football. Tradition, strategy, analysis, etc. whereas with the NBA they barely even respect Jersey traditions let alone the serious discussion of their sport. But it’s the kinda bubbly, dumb blonde level shyt they wanna be on so whatever....:ehh:

:mjlol:

The Brehettes could use this as a smiley

shyt, even the brehs could. It’s got the flexible usability of :usure:

exactly.

Shaq and Chuck are legends and funny AF + got good banter. I’m not tuning into a show called The Analytics and Fundamentals. I know what I’m getting into watching these cats

it doesn’t have to be. Nobody’s asking for Shaq to turn into The Starters, but understand what goes into the decisions teams make with how players are used. If knowing more hurts the show, that’s a sad indictment on the show and the people they’re trying to reach.

You’re a Yankee fan. Look at David Cone. Old head, but he’s up on all the advanced metrics and can explain it without boring you or disgusting you.

Even A-Rod (from an analyst perspective, not a color commentator) can explain these things and it helps the broadcast.

Baseball fans will embrace metrics,most NBA fans at least that i know or see on social media are ignorant on aspects of the game and would rather celebrate that than understand things they dont know...

There’s plenty of purists who will fight you on it though. There’s guys who laud it and then there’s guys like John Smoltz who hate everything and get to express it in front of a national audience every week.

but otherwise I agree

Shaq's a top 10 player of all time. How u tell a 10 player that he don't know shyt about basketball? That's a delicate ass line to tow. And even tho she's one of the GOAT female ballers....she still a woman and never played in the NBA. So i see why Shaq would push back on her knowledge so hard.

But facts is facts...Shaq got done playing 10yrs ago...and the game had passed him by almost half decade back then. The way the game changed even in the past 5yrs is crazy. There used to be designated stretch 4s on every squad...that aint even a thing anymore. And you gotta do you homework to keep up....But Shaq's ego won't let him study these "inferior players" so thats what u have. Dwade tho....that nikka knows his shyt and is mad calm and smooth with it:salute:


Shaq doesnt know shyt

The ad verecundiam fallacy concerns appeals to authority or expertise. Fundamentally, the fallacy involves accepting as evidence for a proposition the pronouncement of someone who is taken to be an authority but is not really an authority.May 29, 2015
