For being more authentic than any of the other studio shows. Latest Shaq/ Barkley dustup is validation of this particular claim.

Frankly I'm long past tired of Shaq. He rarely brings anything other the occasional goofy drop.

_________________
There are only two examples of infinity: The universe and human stupidity and I'm not sure about the universe.

He has gotten better but they can do much better IMO. He at least gives an opinion now but he rarely brings insight. Kenny Smith and Barkley are appointment TV for me. I try and catch them even if I miss the game most of the time. Love the Barkley line about Kobe and Wade carrying him though.

Shaq is worse than awful

LTG, is that Uncle Pecos from Tom and Jerry in your avatar?

Making Shaq a permanent member of the studio team ruined the chemistry. Ernie, Charles, and Kenny had a perfect balance.

Just heard it on WMVP. Shaq was fine.

Shaq adds to a broadcast what he added to shooting free throws...like your picks in the playoffs you are again wrong

His comedy is basically = hey I'm big and goofy !!
He isn't the least bit funny

Agree to disagree. The gas station is one of MANY examples of him being funny.

Shaq really has thin skin, and comes off like a real asshole in that clip.

Sometimes he's funny.

I didn’t think he was bad. In his experience he did not get along with Riley and won. Pippen and Phil weren’t perfect either.

If you like Barkley and Smith but not Shaq then you're racist.

Shaq is horrible, and it is highlighted by the fact that Kenny and Chuck are so good.

_________________

Entertaining fight good find LTG. Shaq is not as smart or witty as Charles or Kenny so he can’t hang and drags the show down. He would be better as a guest for comedy bits.

The thin skin has been a running theme with Shaq. It's getting old.

_________________

Shaq sucks. But I love that he hates Chuck. And I love that Chuck pushes his buttons.

They are all great. Tension like this is what helps make them great. Love that they can go at each other.

Me too. Obviously had the fire and the passion on that one. Shaq's problem is that he only seems to ever have it when he is referencing himself. Thoroughly disinterested otherwise.

Shaq comes off as “too cool” unless he can wear a wig or dance or some other nonsense. His analysis is terrible. Great theories on fuel consumption, though.
