Above the fold

Shaq on the Attack

Last week in our Ten Piece Nuggets we mentioned that Inside the NBA on TNT was hands down the best studio sports show around and second isn’t close.  Not only do we stand by the statement, we are doubling down.  The only negative about the show is that it runs after the second game of doubleheaders which puts it on as late as 1 AM Eastern.

If you missed Tuesday night you missed another run at comedic gold.  We’ve attached a five-minute and change clip that you can see by clicking here.  Yep, it’s pretty long but well worth your time today while on your union mandated break.  Like a fine wine it gets better and better.  It’s must see TV till it’s very end.

The chemistry of the four of Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith, Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley is great.  It’s great until Charles goes off of the rails.  Then it looks like your 10th grade science lab gone wrong great.    Shaq had it with the Chuckster.  And, he let him know it.

If you’ve seen the clip it’s worth another look.  We’ve watched it more times than we care to admit and still laugh like it’s the first time.  Besides, your union contractually secured the time for you to do so.

Engage. Enrage. Enjoy.

  • Could TNT use that model for College Football or NFL? I get that they don’t have the feed for the game, but that’s just a flip of the remote.

    • Sure. But it would take a special group of course to replicate their schtick regardless of the network.

  • Pure Gold they are. One two back to one had me laughing still days later.

    • Barkley suggesting the defense needs the dude from the Atlanta Hawks got a bit lost in all of it and was strong too.
