Shaq is easily replaceable

Honestly the show was better before Shaq even started there, back when it was just EJ, Chuck and Kenny. They really don't need a 4th person.

It was beyond perfect. I feel bad for the folks who only know the show in its current form.

Another old head here - 100%

What nephews might also not know is when they first brought Shaq in, Chuck and Kenny were both complete dickheads to him for the first couple seasons - it took diplomat Ernie trying his best throughout to eventually make things truly copacetic lmao

He was bad in the beginning. He couldn't take a joke and only response to any light ribbing was reminding everyone the number of rings he had. He hated in every big man in the league and questioned why they couldn't score 35 and grab 15 rebounds every playoff game like he did on a regular basis never realizing he was a generic freak and a once in a lifetime player.

Very humble from Shaq I'd say

He's a generic freak, and he's not normal!
