Shaq does unnecessarily hate on current players, & should relax on all that. He also comes across as older, stuck in his ways, my generation will always be better & badder, etc. However he’s still an entertaining guy. People tune into the TNT broadcasts to watch him & Chuck. Nobody gives a flying fuck about Candice Parker, even if she’s right.


Actually check social media, a lot of people give a fuck about Parker.

I for one enjoy Shaq from an entertainment aspect, because they just goof around and most of the funny stuff isn't even basketball related.

But at the same time I really enjoy an actual basketball breakdown, something Shaq doesn't give. Shaq is as casual as you can get, the guy doesn't even know most of the players in today's game lol.

I’m dead someone thinks Candace Parker is more than a token. But to be honest, that whole panel needs a lot of polishing to start producing good content

Candace Parker knows more about the modern game than anyone else that is usually on that show.

That is 100% facts and obvious as hell. Those guys are funny, but when it comes to basketball knowledge? LOL. Kenny is solid, but Chuck and Shaq are dumb as a mother fucker.

Agreed the game has changed but prime Shaq would still 100% tear it up in today’s era

Offensively he'd still be effective, though not as effective as he was when the league was slower paced and relied more on interior scoring.

Defensively? He was already not very good in his days, but in todays era he'd get obliterated. He got picked on with the P&R in his prime, so in todays game he'd get it even worse.

Yeah, probably no way he’d be regarded as a top 5 player all time if he played today, but offensively he’d still be a juggernaut, and realistically he’d be able to adapt his game to the pace and style of today.

If you think Candace Parker knows more about NBA Basketball than Shaq, then you’re an idiot
