THIS Although, I want Webber to be a commentary full-tim and put Reggie in the studio. And I wonder if there's a way to bring Gary Payton back to NBATV/TNT crew. Gary Payton back would be just...
When all else fails, Shaq just tries to act immature and make stupid noises or dance around to try to get laughs.
I agree. C-Webb should definitely stay with the broadcasting -- he does a good job. He should replace Reggie and work the second game with Harlan. Why does there have to be a fourth person on Inside? It worked fine with just EJ, Kenny, and Chuck, and the occasional guest to change things up.
When they were joking on Mike Miller crying at the end of his last game... Kenny & Charles : "Don't worry Mike...we've all been there." Shaq: " I haven't." Charles: "That's cuz you played three years after you shoulda retired..." Shaq: " And I still accomplished more than you did in your whole career, 15 years before that!" Exactly the kind of stuff I'm talking about. That crap is not cute. It's ok for Charles to clown on Shaq, but he can't go back at him? You guys are the funniest.
It's ok for Charles to clown on Shaq, but he can't go back at him? You guys are the funniest. Its because Shaq does it all the %+$%*#! time trying to be the "man"
"as Chuck said...". obvious that Shaq tries to develop a bond with Chuck to legitimize his own voice, or lackthereof. also I remember this exchange.. "CP3 can get by Nash anytime he wants..." - Shaq "if you watched the game, the Suns had Telfair on Paul..." - chuck "Cp3 can get by anyone in the league...." - Shaq
It also happened yesterday when Chuck was talking about Rose's injury and players having 4 to 5 legitimate chances in their careers to win a championship, so they have to take advantage when they get the chance... Shaq: "Not me, I had 4" Chuck: "Exactly, you had 4 in twenty years" Shaq: "No, I had 4 in 6 years" as he proceeds to start laughing by himself
It's ok for Charles to clown on Shaq, but he can't go back at him? You guys are the funniest. Coming back with humor and responding like a dbag are two different things.

My only gripe is that having shaq in the mix, I noticed Kenny fades and becomes more of a observer/moderator... Sucks because he has the best insight. GP X KENNY X CWEBB was the illest though.... "yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal craaaazy shaq aint the best player" *edit ".......................................................................................derk?"
My man, Shaq is not joking. That's part of the problem; they were all just lightheartedly throwing jabs at each other before (Chuck's weight, Kenny needing Hakeem, Ernie being corny, etc), but Shaq has too big of an ego to joke like that. Stop reaching. You're a hater. Shaq on Inside > You on NT If he was that bad, they would have axed him before the playoffs
Do you owe Shaquille some money, bro? "He can't be that bad, because he's still there." Totally agree w/ those of you saying they need to bring GP & Cwebb back. Them 2 w/ Ernie, Chuck, & Kenny would get the show back to it's award winning status.
Hes learning, just give it a little more time, when him and CB were going over the fights they had in their careers that was straight comedy, and he does provide some good insight on being a big man in the NBA.
He's gotten better even though he doesnt add nothing as far as real input but the comedy is there. Like somebody said Ernie is more loose and overrall I think the show is better. Dude is always gettin hurt from their jokes though. Everytime they joke with him he feels like he has to validate himmself, you cant tell Chuck likes messing with him.
If he was that bad, people would stop watching the show, which would force them to get rid of Shaq... Like they did GP and the rest of the Turner clowns. Whats funny to me is that you guys hate on Shaq and talk about bringing GP back? Dude was the most obnoxious, corny, unfunny person ever on TV and you talking about bringing him back?
^To be fair, as much as I disllike Shaq, I like the show and the other 3 guys too much to not watch the show. Its just whenever Shaq starts going into his ways I just when he speaks
LOL @ CATS trying to give themselves brownie points for CALLING SHAQ a show ruiner. LOLZ AT THAT.. Shaq is out of tune w/ the conversations and commentary most of the time. He's more of a bench warmer w/ his color commentary. When shaq gets his feelings hurt, he always brings out his accomplishments against barkley. KENNY SMITH gets roasted, but he's genuinely cool with it. CWEBB is okay, but that time when he wore brown suit, brown tie, and coffee dress shirt ruined it for me. LOLZ
He needs to do the color w/ Kevin or Marv...sticking C-Webb with the Crypt Keeper/Larry King aka Dick Stockton is a waste of his talents
