This one word right here: DoubleJs07: Kept asking questions that he knew the answer to...who's better me or David Robinson...who's better me or Patrick Ewing. So @#+#%%% stupid. He's too much about himself. His jokes, his opinion, his career, his accomplishments, etc. - If his joke wasn't funny, he repeats it… and repeats it, and repeats it some more, then tries to say it a different way; HIS joke becomes more important to him than anything else. - If his point isn't coming across on a topic they're debating, he repeats it, and repeats it again, asks a rhetorical question then interrupts anyone who attempts to answer, then continues beating his point to the ground; his opinion holds the show hostage until he decides to stop trying to make it. The show's great chemistry before was due in large part to the 'give-and-take' style of debate between Ernie, Chuck, and Kenny, and the fact that they were genuinely having fun; neither one of those 2 things are true with Shaq. He doesn't do 'give-and-take'; he does 'take, repeat, take some more, interrupt, repeat again, and Never. Back. Down.' And 'genuinely having fun'? Not only do I not get a vibe from him that he's enjoying himself, but it also seems like all 3 of the others are in 'grit my teeth and bare it' mode. my eBay:2001 AJ 1 BLK/RED (sz 11.5),OG AJ 13 BLK/BLU low(sz 10.5) 4L 8O 15S16 T23 !42 L.

Provides no insight, randomly spews nonsense during highlights (at least he's toned down the "yak-yaks"), and holds grudges against certain players cough Dwight cough. Magic Johnson and Tim Hardaway rolling over in their graves watching Shaq. They need to send him down to the NBATV and bring Webber back on Inside the NBA for a while. TEAM CARIBBEAN

Agreed w/ everything you said, but more specifically, the bold print. Honestly, I've NEVER seen Chuck get so animated like he was last night. You could almost see the slim fast coming outta his pores he was so vexed. It's not a good mix on that TNT set right now. Studio execs have to see this, right?

So I watched that show again, and I realized that he was indeed wack. So I'm not surprised that Shaq is doing poorly. He's obviously tampered with the chemistry, not to mention Ernie has to practically hold Shaq's hand to guide him. He'd be great at ESPN. Team Funkadelic *I made this money, you didn't...Right Ted?

One the first few nights he was on, I don't think he said anything other than "yak-yak." Now at least he offers some "commentary," stupid as it may be. I always had my doubts about how good he would be in this setting and he's even worse than I thought. At least this is a short season and, hopefully, someone will be able to persuade him to stop embarassing himself in this job before the next season starts.

Registered Member Posts: 3024 01/27/12 1:04 PM	He's definitely wack. Simply put, he forces it far too much. As someone in this thread said, the "give and take" aspect of the show is gone. Shaq argues to the death and makes himself sound so stupid at times, (even though bynum is seriously better than howard, straight up) and his analysis sometimes are so off deck it's mind blowing. But, with that being said, he is getting better with each show. http://twitter .com/_Justinnn http://JGOJustin.Tumblr.Com

You can tell Ernie gets irritated by his interruptions. Since they always do that twitter feed on the show, whoever has twitter needs to write them to bring c. Webb back
