shaq shytting on players right after career games, being awkward with other studio guests, and not knowing what's actually happening in the sport that he's supposed to cover is the problem
people can have all kinds of different kinds of humor. but selling the product and not alienating people live on air? yeah that's hustling backwards. and NBA on TNT is what Chuck, Ernie, and Kenny built. Shaq is a passenger.
shyt - the production team itself is worth FAR more than Shaq
but everyone glosses around that part when talking about the show

Shaq bringing up rings to Barkley when he has no other argument is literally iconic on that show.
Chuck I know you ain’t bloviating over there about my hairline when the size of San AntonioChuck going to get at that hairline. And he's going to point out that everyone is bald on the panel andis letting the team down.
The point of the show is 3 nba players chopping it up with Ernie hosting.
They should just end the show if they're thinking about adding him.

Look, I've never been a fan of Shaq on ITN but there's no doubt in my mind that Stephen has too much of an ego to fit that crew any better.
It's really not. That joke ran its course years ago.
if we talking ego, its extremely hard to think of people with bigger ego issues than shaq. shaq can't even give a compliment without it being tied to him first
and im not even a stephen a fan like that either. but when he disagrees with a guy on the set, he almost always does it in a way that lets the other guy prop himself up lol....
and at this point people gotta admit that
has put on far, far more people than he's put down too.

Iconically terrible. Shaq singlehandedly ruined the hall of fame chemistry the original 3 members had
Outside of Shaqtin a Fool, his presence has been completely unneeded. They won Emmys prior to Shaq as well
And as a side note, Chris Webber was 10x better as the 4th member than Shaq ever was

Kenny was doing that back then.

I didn't think they needed a 4th person. I liked Webber on the show as the 4th and he would have been good too. I thought Shaq ruined the chemistry at first but they've adjusted and it's been working for a while now. Shaq plays his role of being the petty/hater/dumbass that Barkley and Kenny play off of.

I don't watch the show regularly except for in clips. Has Monica Mcnutt been back on the show since she embarrassed him?
