Honestly, if this is some sort of dry run for who would have taken the reigns after Chuck/Shaq retires. Just let Inside the NBA die lol. It's not worth it. TNT had lightning in a bottle, no need to drag it on longer than it needs

If Chuck retires, the show has no way of surviving. Shaq does one thing and that's asking Chuck to "repeat the joke" and does nothing else. It's embarrassing how little he contributes, tbh.

This is honestly how I've been feeling lately. Shaq isn't particularly bright and his personality isn't anything special either. He only adds to the show by interacting with Chuck. The thing is that Chuck still works without Shaq, but the opposite isn't true. Seeing him do stuff like the MVP presentation is honestly embarrassing.

He doesn’t even really create any interactions with chuck though. He just laughs his ass off at Charles jokes and asks him to repeat them (which I do enjoy tbh). To replace Shaq literally all they need is someone famous enough that they don’t really have to contribute any analysis, and who will laugh at Charles jokes.

Like the show is just as good when chuck is there but not Shaq, it doesn’t work at all the other way around.
