    Shaq's voice is too deep for regular television broadcasts. Chuck & him are probably going to have their own little dialect going on...

    That was a given.

    What was he going to join, ESPN? lol @ the thought of him reporting hockey and tennis.

    But seriously, TNTs a great fit for him. He'll only work twice a week.

    On second thought, I'd be more interested in Yao going to TNT.

    Apparently, Charles took Shaq out to dinner that same night.

    Why would he have to report hockey and tennis on ESPN? There are tons of analysts who only talk about basketball..

    Those were two separate thoughts. And I was joking.

    I am shocked. I thought he was going to be a police officer. Maybe in Alabama, where Charles Barkley is governor?

    These are two of the biggest idiots in the history of the NBA. Kenny Smith, who I guess will be demoted to Craig Sager status, is much smarter, and has a good vocal range unlike the two slow slurrers.

    By the way, does Shaq really have that much knowledge of the game? He's always just been a big goofball who dominated with his size.

    Everybody together now. Grunt as low-pitched as you can for an hour.

    After the game's over, I'd rather visit a pigsty than listen to Shaq.

    Breathily call teams the "Queens." Make all your humor derogatory against others. Be defensive and paranoid when you yourself are called into question.

    Shaq makes Barkley look like Einstein. Barkley makes Kenny Smith look like Einstein.

    Yeah I agree. Shaq has been all about Shaq for so long, I don't know how he flips the switch to make that show about the NBA and the game at hand and not about himself.

    wow haters. Shaq will be perfect in his role as barkley's equally stupid nemisis. After all, Its not about basketball, it's about entertainment..David Sterns actions have proven that.

    I really don't understand the uproar. If you watched the show before then then you likely don't mind the lack of insight and enjoy Chuck and Kenny ripping on one another and the rest of the league. Shaq is a perfect fit in that regard.

    If you don't like what Shaq brings to the show then you clearly didn't like the show in the first place so what difference does it make?
