Why Isn't Chris Webber on TNT instead of Shaq?

[BlueandGold]

Is it just me i hate chuck just as much as shaq. Can't even pronounce simple words correctly like terrible. It's like TNT is secretly being racist to black people by putting all the stupid ones on their primetime slot.

I think Greg Anthony is funnier than c-Webb

Yeah I wish CWebb had Shaq's spot as well. While I don't think he would bring as many laughs, his insights would be more thought out.

While I would never doubt Shaq, Kenny, or Chuck's basketball minds, I think CWebb clearly blows all three of them out of the water in terms of his capability to relate the game (Kenny being the only one remotely close).

Common denominator? Webber and Kenny didn't go to SEC schools.

That's pretty funny.. even though I love Chuck.. he's probably the reason I got into the NBA so much in the first place. Didn't like Jordan, he was too predictably good.. sort of like playing a computer game on easy mode.. too easy.

It's because he called a time out in the NCAA final four and took money from a bookie

The nba won't let TNT here him permanently

It's also the reason why the nba rigged the lakers kings series.

Webber is a great mix of insight, laughs and good journalism. He has a great ability to seem like he's your friend and can speak real plain to you for a minute. He could seamlessly move between academics, clowns and fanatics. He also knows when to up the energy or get you to feel for a player. One of the best I've seen.

Webber is great. He doesn't just use clich

[SilkkTheShocker]

Even Malone was better than Shaq.

[chips93]

shaq is on there because hes a huge name, that casual fans recognise, and thats who tnt have to appeal to

real diehard fans are gonna watch the games regardless of who's on there, and those are the people that hate shaq, and the people who like c-webb.

C-Webb, GP, EJ, Kenny, Chuck

That panel, sitting in that order on TNT would be guaranteed Emmys for years to come.

payton is enthusiastic and really fun, but hes way too black.

im pretty sure that the average person/casual fan wouldnt find him funny

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Agreed cwebb > shaq

This. I like Payton a lot. But TNT probably only wants him more as a guest than anything.


Does anyone remember when they brought in Greg Anthony? You could tell him and Kenny didn't like each other

[Sakkreth]

It's because Shaq has championship rings.

One of em belongs to Chris anyways.
