All of that.
I first noticed this when they included the digital versions of Shaq and Ernie on last year's game I think? Now while that Ernie dude been a broadcaster for decades, when you hear Shaq's delivery, it sounds like he's trying to read off of a paper, mumbling in a low voice sounding NOTHING like what he's capable of sounding normally when he's debating or talking smack on that show. I mean the guys obviously have a rapport if you've watched 'em on the show, but that segment before the game starts where they give a bit of insight...Shaq just sounds remedial as fukk like as if he wasn't allowed to just be himself. It's like someone wrote what they thought he should sound like and made him read it. Borderline shy dudes like Kawahi going to sound monotone regardless of how comfortable you try and make 'em feel, but damn never EVERY NBA player in this game sounds like they came in, read off a paper and bounced leaving hilariously bad performances all across the board.
