Kenny, Chuck and Ernie are awesome. I don’t mind Shaq most of the time and his and Chucks arguments are some of the greatest.

Most of the others mentioned above as possible replacements for any of those four are just lol...

Jaylen Rose is god awful. CWebb is okay, but pretty boring. KG has his moments, but he’s generally awful, and he has serious emotional baggage from his Celtics day’s that I think clouds his ability to be objective about today’s players/teams/GMs. Maybe in 8-10 yrs he may be removed enough, but now is too soon.

To me, the wide availability of analytics that we mere plebes weren’t privy to before “ruined” the show. Let me explain,

Nothing that the trio says would be new/informative to a RealGMer, so nothing gained there. Much of what the Kenny-Shaq-Chuck-KG groups says is quantifiably wrong, so a RealGM user loses respect for what they have to say. What’s left? Entertainment? They can be funny, but there’s many other ways you can be entertained by something funny.

I think a large group here grew up with them, but as posters here got their hands on new tools to evaluate play, the information/insights provided by this group held less and less weight.

For me, at least, the only thing that comes to mind when watching them is to see if they’re going to evaluate things the way I do in my head that I derived by looking at multiple sources and sites.

All that and the fact that everything gets take stale after a while anyway.
