Shaq's next big move takes him to Turner Sports

During a raucous retirement party at his Florida home in June, Shaquille O'Neal promised that his next step would be a "big one."

You wouldn't expect anything less from a man who has spent the past 19 years as the biggest personality in the sport, "The Big Aristotle" ... "The Big Shaqctus" ... "The Big Shamrock" etc., and beyond.

So how about "The Big Analyst?"

Because as promised, O'Neal's next step is a big one, now that the 15-time NBA All-Star and four-time NBA champion joins Turner Sports as a full-time analyst across its portfolio of NBA assets starting with the 2011-2012 season.

O'Neal will join TNT's Emmy Award-winning studio show alongside Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley and will also be a part of the network's exclusive NBA All-Star Weekend and NBA Playoffs coverage as a part of the multi-year agreement announced Thursday morning.

He will also be a key contributor on NBA TV and NBA.com, serving up his own brand of unique analysis and commentary throughout the regular season, as well as for The Finals, All-Star Weekend and the NBA Draft.

"I can't wait to begin my new career with Turner," O'Neal said in a statement. "Over the past several years the team at Turner has taken the NBA and entertainment, in general, to a whole new level. I'm grateful for the opportunity to join the amazing team at Inside the NBA and I hope I can further the fans experience on a regular basis."

I've said this a million times in the past and I'll say it again:

Is the world ready for Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal together on LIVE TV?

He has always been an incredibly charismatic guy. He will do well.

I'm the hooper, the hyper
Protected by Viper
When I rock the hoop yo, you'd better decipher
In other words you'd better make a funky decision (whoo)
'cause I'm a be a Shaq knife, and cut you with precision
Forget Tony Danza, I'm the boss
When it comes to money, I'm like Dick Butkas
Now who's the first pick? me, word is born and
Not a Christean Laettner, not Alonzo Mourning
That's okay, not being bragadocious
Supercalifragelistic, Shaq is alidocious
Peace, I gotta go, I ain't no joke
Now I slam it (what?) jam it (unh)
And make sure it's broke

I'm tired,I'm tired, I'm so tired right now......Kristaps Porzingis 1/3/18

I wonder if Shaq will have useful analysis and points to make, or just babble. Something leads me to believe the latter, however, it'll still be good

All I want to see is him ripping Barkley and Kenny S, when they do their insufferable arrogant shyeeeit. That I would happily pay to see.

TKF on Melo ::....he is a punk, a jerk, a self absorbed out of shape, self aggrandizing, unprofessional, volume chucking coach killing playoff loser!!

Second the motion, especially since Shaq can shut Kenny up about the ring thing...if that's even possible...
Wonder how the political discussions will work out with Barkley...should be scintillating TV.

I actaully think Webber is pretty articulate and makes some valid points. What dont you like about C-Webb? BTW, I assume C-webb will just go back to NBAtv exclusively.
