Okay, I know he's a funny guy with him and Chuck beefing all of the time.

But from a basketball analysis perspective, the mother fucker needs to go because he provides very little insight. He literally just falls back on masculinity and his championship rings every time he gets backed into a corner.

I have a lot of respect for Candace Parker, she really breaks the game down and understands it on a different level compared to Shaq. The big man really just doesn't accept and/or understand the game has evolved and it's not so simple anymore.

Thought this thread would be about the fact that Shaq is going to wrestle tonight on AEW wrestling

No, it's just about how the world is realizing Shaq doesn't understand basketball anymore.

Even D-Wade was backing up Parker last night. They really made Shaq look stupid as hell on national television about basic basketball fundamentals in the modern game.

Shaq really is annoying to watch anymore. He's getting more and more insecure too because big men today are so much more skilled.

Fair point. He is just a marketable personality that draws views, clicks, etc. Why do you think Skip Bayless and Max Kellerman still have jobs? Solid point though on his insecurities related to the "modern" big men being so much more athletic/skilled

I agree he, I don't like how he always refers to his rings, etc. He always bags in gobert, he's jealous of his contract. He bags in Dmitch and he had been tearing it up lately. A lot of the players don't respect him.

Not gonna lie, ive noticed this too lately over the last year, his 'insight' is always "look at my rings, i know what im talking about" or something along those lines.

The world is catching on to be honest, and last night it was obvious as hell with Parker and Wade on the show.

Normally he can hide it because with Kenny and Chuck up there they all talk the old man basketball and pick on Chuck for saying dumb shit, but last night Candace and Wade were running circles around him lmao.

It's painfully obvious that he is insecure. The game has changed so much, post players are nowhere near as relevant as they were in his time, and even those that are (i.e. Embiid and Jokic) are shooting 40%+ from 3pt and facing up and creating for themselves or hitting step back jumpers. I love Shaq the player, and in his time he was an absolute animal and fit the game but his style of play has no place in todays game.



He refuses to give any big men too much credit because he's insecure lol.

All he cares about is going viral

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.

Yeah it was legit embarrassing. And I would feel embarrassed for him humiliating himself on national television if he didn't 100% deserve it.
