    That doesn't mean he's any good as a studio analyst .
    Ernie didn't play in the NBA and he runs rings around shaq as a tv analyst

    His championship rings mean nothing if people can't understand a word he says

    All these years I had no problem listening to him. I did not even have to turn up the volume to understand him.

    Or maybe once I dun really remember.

    Johnson had no sense of humor and was way too 'clean' and straight forward. Heck I think most people treat Magic Johnson like a serious College Professor in his company.

    yeah, Magic Johnson would not fit this crowd. Magic probably one of those people that is more funny off-air. He too rigid on-air.

    Harden mumbles into his beard, I bet you won't have a problem in the future when he is on air.

    You maybe the only person on the planet who enjoys Shaq on TNT

    I'd rather they replace him with a talking parrot.

    Those are reasons he deserved a chance at a job like this. Those however are not good qualities for his current job. Those are good qualities for him being a HOFer and him going and doing more terrible movies.

    Isn't that basically what Bakley is?

    "Kenny, kenny ... look ... they need to rebound more... look... this ... look... Ernie... if they don't rebound, they won't win this game... it's over at halftime, Ernie... Imma tell you right now what they need to do is rebound... look... "

    Charlie want a cracker?

    Analytically, Chuck offers nothing. But he can at least take a joke.

    Harden isn't going to be on TNT likewise neither is LBJ. Billionaires or going to be billionaires, besides Magic, never want a or have anything to do with a broadcasting job.

    Shaquille O'Neal Signs Multi-Year Extension With TNT

    Shaquille O'Neal and Turner Sports have reached agreement on a multi-year extension.

    O'Neal will continue in his role for TNT's Inside the NBA, along with the NBA on TNT Tuesday Night franchise.

    O’Neal joined Turner Sports in 2011.

    “Turner Sports is family to me – even you, Chuck – and I’m looking forward to working alongside my talented colleagues as we create many more Shaq-tastic moments in the years to come,” said O’Neal.

    "Shaq is so critical to our success, and such a huge part of the heart and soul of our coverage," said Jeff Zucker, Chairman, WarnerMedia News and Sports. "We are lucky to be able to have him as part of our family every single day, and I am personally so thrilled to see that continue for a long time to come."

    His reaction to Luka posting that insane statline + 3 to win the game was literally a very muted "I've seen it before. Calm down." A graphic was shown about how only 3 players have posted similar statlines in the playoffs (Doncic, Oscar and Barkley).

    And when Chuck said it was a great moment since Doncic is 21 and did it without Porzingis, Shaq downplayed it completely and kept interrupting Chuck. I feel like Shaq was super petty because Chuck got indirect praise.
