Report: Shaq to Join Turner Broadcasting

by Ryne Nelson

The NBA on TNT already was a the best broadcast in basketball. And it just got better in a very big way. Sorry to the competitors, but sometimes shit ain’t fair.

From CNBC‘s Darren Rovel:

BREAKING NEWS: Sources have confirmed that @SHAQ has agreed in principle to join Turner.

    Teddy you’re probably the ONLY person that likes both of those guys. lol. I liked CWebb, he did get a little too excited attimes, but he always kept Kenny in check i think. Kenny throws a lot of nonsense analysis out there that usually gets overlooked, but CWebb always counters him.

    I think Shaq would be better with an out of studio job, doing his own thing.

    I don’t mind Kamla. He can get a little annoying, but he knows the game from a stats and analysis standpoint. Reggie is terrible. He misuses words pretty often. It’s not like he doesn’t have access to a dictionary or thesaurus. When he talks about underrated dudes getting respect, he says “it’s about time so-and-so started to garnish some respect.” Last time I checked, garnish was part of a meal. I’ll take my respect with ketchup and some parsley on the side to add some class. Van Gundy could be a true great, but he gets up on his soapbox about stuff that doesn’t matter at all, and lets opportunities to really make a necessary point slide. I’m very happy to see Mark Jackson away from the mic. If I never hear “mama there goes that man” or “hand down, man down” again, I’ll be content forever. I was raised on Marv Albert. I don’t care that he likes to bite women during sex, he’s the bomb on the M-I-C.

    Can’t stand Mark Jackson sometimes, but anyone who doesn’t like JVG is a frackin imbecile

    Shaq is funny, but what basketball knowledge is he going to bring to the set. Be honest people.

  • marc

    @the seed so you shaq has no basketball knowledge? i highly doubt that. He has been in the league way too long to be basketball dumb.

    Reggie Miller sucks, there has not been one game this whole season that he analyzed that he didn’t talk about him being with the Pacers, who cares!!!! Plus he fronted when Ray Allen beat his record on 3′s he was so pissed that you could see the look on his face. That was a record that he thought he was going to have for awhile longer. The other fact he rides Kobe’s, Lebron’s, D-Wade, Paul Pierce u would think they all go to Academy Sports and buy their jock straps at the same time.

    Shaq will be good until he gets beside himself but, him Ernie, (to keep order), Barkley and maybe somebody like Rasheed Wallace would make a good combination. Although I don’t know if Rasheed knows his game that well or if he could articulate it either.

    Meh.
    It’s gonna be a lot less analysis and a lot more silly sh*t. Bad enough when it was just Barkley.
    But they’re still way better than the ESPN cats.
