NBA Season is Returning This Year!!!!!!!
- Thread starter DAHITMAN
- Start date
I said it a year or so also that he was getting a major push for whatever reason, and I got called a casual and didn't respect him, his game or his team and what they've accomplished.
I just left it alone then. Dude's game is pure athleticism... nothing more, nothing less. And that can be taken away easily, with father time still being undefeated or (God forbid) an injury.
Like Simmons, I want him to succeed. I want him to put in the work. Get the right people in his camp to help develop his game and push him to the next level.... because the day you have to respect a Giannis jump shot because he can knock it down consistently is the day the nba will get flipped on its fuckin head. He will be unstoppable.
I'm waiting for a player to say live "Man fuck you!!" It's coming too.
Shaq's constant hating has actually made me less engaged with Inside the NBA as a whole. In fact the whole show just seems off this year. Kenny and Enrie are the only ones who seems interested in the actual games being played.
Chuck and his bullshit guarantees minus whale be officially sponsored by Draft Kings at this point. And Shaq never has anything nice to say. Not about the current players, their guest hosts, or even the other anchors.
I wouldn't be mad if the show retired Shaq and Chuck and brought in some blood.
You're a got dam fool. .... And I dont care what nobody say.
this veterans better be REAL careful...
cause as media SHIFTS and these young folk are taking over in ways these vets could NEVER imagine
these young men are NOT dependent on newspapers radio and media like that
they building partnerships.
that's why these old white sports talking heads are MAD that they are LOSING their influence
that is why so many of these retired athletes are MAD cause they never were able to take ADVANTAGE like that in their prime.
You can call all these new players ""SENSITIVE" all you want...
but funny how when these vets did the SAME THINGS and WORSE
yelling at reporters yelling at fans ATTACKING reporters and fans not speaking to teammates not showing up leaking stuff to the press etc...
I NEVER hear them talk about that sh*t they use to pull back in the days?
I agree them two assholes really bring the show down. Shaq always hatin and Charles consistently saying stupid shit.
I understand that but Shaq did the same thing to Embiid and Embiid just said, "Alright I hear you and I'll work on it" and Embiid went out the next game and balled out. So I'm guessing Shaq thought the same would happen with Mitchell. I'm just throwing that out there. Shaq is a notorious hater but I don't think he's hating on Mitchell.
Shaq’s not their Dad. I get what Shaq’s trying to do but it’s wrong in my opinion.
If you’re having a formal interview and that come up then cool, but that shouldn’t have been said at that time.
this maybe the greatest individual game ever played by one person. Wilt dropped a 100 but it was against little white boys. That 81 was against people on his level. Hell that whole month he was scorching hot. RIP KB
My take? There's a way to do things. A way to speak. A way to teach. A way to encourage. A way to disparage. What I don't get is why you see so many retired players struggling to compliment and challenge younger players. Shaq has seen it all. Done it all. He has a wealth of knowledge to drop (doesn't mean it's all great) and in that moment he could have crafted his words a LOT better. It's like I tell my younger Frat brothers. I had my time in the sun. Nothing worse than an old dude trying to make THEIR JOURNEY seem better than those coming up. It's THEIR time and I'm here to help them. These older dudes aren't resources these days, just contrarians. That may NOT have been his intent, but it looks like it was interpreted that way.
Shit is mid, he did it against the worst team in the league. Wilt wouldntve got on a chopper with a bunch of soccer moms. He was blacker than that.
Nah they can’t get rid of him, he says dumb shit sometimes but he’s a Huge part of the show!
He is the show!
its literally his
all the Emmy's and shit like that
its because of the addition of chuck 20 yrs ago
I had coaches like that too. The action is commonplace just not publicly
Why so sensitive? Its true, Wilt would never board a helicopter as the only Black man surrounded by soccer moms. He did swirl, but he never married them hoes, and he wasnt a coon.
I was a phi slamma fan and Akeem brought a lot of innovation to the position but the best ever...
Chuck can still drop a gem or two that will have me in stitches, but I'm actually concerned for his health at this point. Whenever he starts slurring his words or repeating the same thing, I have a flashback to the time Jerry Lawler had a heart attack on live TV.
We all know Barkley ain't never been a poster child for good health. They had a triple header about a week or so ago and I couldn't tell if his face looked droopy cause he was tired or if he was having a mini stroke. Real shit.
I ain't trying see Chuck fall out on national tv.

I agree

My HOUSTON bias might be showing... y'all cut me some slack
What about speaking the wrong language to jokic?
Or not knowing who the person they're interviewing is and saying so?
Great example because it's all dumb things to say but in this instance I doubt he was being a hater. Next time he should just leave his "tactics" to himself or until he can talk to that player in person. Shaq raves on Spida usually and Mitchell has gotten better every year so I don't see the malicious intent in this particular interview.
Just consistent with his overall personality on the show as a hater and sensitive so it's hard to choose when he's being himself and when he isn't
That's why I don't watch that bullshit show....Shaq and Barkley make it unwatchable...imo
NBA refs are venturing into MLB umpire territory.... acting as if we're watching them instead of the players on the court
