Shaq and Chuck (alongside SAS and Skip) are the primary reason why the NBA discourse is so terrible. I'm convinced that Shaq and Chuck do not any NBA games outside of the days they work. I would bet that Shaq ain't even watching some of the TNT games he works on. It's not fair to the current NBA product that these oldheads put zero respect into the current players.
yes. They'd be out of the NBA business, not the sports business.
try not to think about that or you'll stop watching regular season games in all sports. It was just marketing, 1 game never mattered. We were victims
I can see possible retirement.
The whole TNT/NBA TV crew and employees are done with this deal. That's a lot of jobs gone because of Zaslav's dumbass.
Dunno what TNT gonna do with that space now. shyt was literally across the street from our basketball arena at GTech on 10th street. The whole studio. Man this is fukkin ridiculous.
We don't need the NBA
It's led to the casuals driving most of the narratives. Like somebody who catches a few games here and there can watch a 5 minute clip of Gilbert Arenas saying "Nikola Jokic is the worst multi time MVP in NBA history!!!" and form their opinion that way. Keep in mind they've probably only seen Jokic in the playoffs, now after the Nuggets get eliminated that opinion can feel verified. Yet they can't tell you why they lost, how Denver's role players were neutralized, how Minnesota attacked on defense at 94 feet and trapping. It's become kind of a thing where people tune into these hot take shows and postgame shows to validate an opinion.
