How much do Shaq and Barkley get paid from Inside the NBA ? 

Post#1 » by Prince187 » Thu May 24, 2012 5:47 pm

Today Stephen A said Shaq's making 5-6 million from TNT. I think that's ridiculous and it can't be true. I wouldn't be surprised if that's close to what Charles is making though. I read an article about him making 1.5 million a year from TNT 10 years ago.

Chuck at least 10, Shaq probably true at 5-6.

Both bargains for TNT.

I actually thought they were only making like 500,000 a year. How silly of me.-_-

They probably make the same as other top TV stars. Around $5-$10 million.

Warren Sapp was making $1.2 million for mouthing off on the NFL network, and Inside the NBA is waaaay more popular.

Chuck kind of deserves the money. If he were to quit I bet viewership tumbles. I heard somewhere their halftime shows sometimes out-rate the games themselves (LOL).

The only sports pre/post/half shows that I actually go out of my way to watch the next day on NBA.com/youtube (speaking of which anyone know where to find full clips the day after the games?)

Shaq has a 3year 15mill contract last I heard.

Shaq is a major money magnet $$$$$$$

Damn. That's significantly more than coaching. Even though it's nowhere near as respectable, I can see now why these guys are all flocking towards being analysts. Plus it doesn't seem anywhere near as hard. If you're wrong as an analyst, you're made fun of on RealGM. If you're wrong as a coach, your team goes .400 and you get fired =D
You either retire a champion, or you live long enough to see yourself become a Raptor.

it's ridiculous money but presumably worthwhile from TNT's point of view

one more reason shaq will not take the magic GM job
the donald, always unpopular, did worse in EVERY state in 2020. and by a greater margin in red states! 50 independently-run elections, none of them rigged

5 - 10 mil is a lot more than i thought. That'd be pretty sweet for any player after they retire.

These aren't everyday players though, not only are they both HOFers and former MVPs, they are both known for having entertaining personalities. I'd be willing to bet they are still being paid far under their true value.

if i had made over 200 million in my playing career, and missed out on countless birthdays and celebrations, the last thing i'd want to do spend more time after i retire working and traveling.

Sitting around and having fun with some Ex HOFamers isn't exactly hard work, is it?
I'd go on ITNBA for free if they'd let me.
