The "mojo" hasn't been there since Shaq became part of the team.

Love Shaq but I agree here.

Shaq just mumbles about himself into the microphone for half of the show...he's good for a laugh or two (like when he fell) but other than that he's annoying. Then he bickers with Charles (who is otherwise good) and ruins anything good going on.

Kenny is alright but replaceable. Ernie is the best.

Wish they could bring in Kobe for Kenny...gives Chuck another ally when Shaq tries to go at him with the rings argument, plus Kobe talking basketball is NBA crack

Def not Chuck - he's the star of the show. If he ever left TNT he'd be signed by ESPN in about 2 seconds

Chuck is good, but he's not important either. He's so bad at basketball at this point...he doesn't still know the game and players.

Shaq is stale, just mentions Rings whenever he wants to shut up Chuck.

Yep that's my main concern here. That's too many. I don't mind if he does some separate segment like KG with area 21. I don't watch those anyways

My hope is that Wade can shut Shaq up.

Shaq can't go full "cOUnT mY rINgsZ!" when Wade is responsible for one of them.

I hope they take a fan question.

The year was 2010. Shaq just had a strong play-off performance with LeBron on the Cavs.

Then after LeBron and Bosh joined Wade in Miami. Shaq wanted to come to the Heat. He had just helped the franchise win its first championship a few seasons before.

But the Heat chose the corpse BigZ, also a Cavs free agent over Shaq. Was it because of drama with Wade. Drama with Riley. Both. Or some other reason.

I want Wade to give us the inside story.

Big Z was a better player at the time than Shaq. Look at his pics in the Celtics jersey, he was more out of shape than he is right now. Also, there was never anything serious between Wade and Shaq. Wade has always given Shaq love for the championship win. If anything, Riley and Shaq was a more real thing. But even that got squashed when Riley retired his jersey.

Shaq isn't even the worst of the 4, that's Kenny. The Hierarchy is:

Tier 1:
Chuck
Ernie

Tier 2:
Shaq

Tier 4:
Kenny

Sounds like its the type of part time gig KG used to have a few years ago

Shaq speaks english just fine. If you can't understand what he's saying then that's on you to learn it or leave it. He was hired to be himself on there which is what he's been doing.

I think chuck should only make special once in a while appearances, I mean the guy clearly doesn't give af about the nba regular season or any of its players. Maybe have him on when sixers play because thats the only team he knows top to bottom.

Shaq to me has been getting better and better over the years, maybe thats assistant producers giving him great notes, either way he often gives legit insight. and he is also a megastar.
