its never gonna work because the new and old era arent the same thing
everyone who didnt win is clowned back then

now you have money and marketing involved on a deep level
perception and dudes playing musical chairs for rings
its not the same

its why barkley is still clowned
and his marketing scheme was "I'm not a role model"

nikkas doing that now are like Demarcus cousins, Larry Sanders, Draymond ... dudes you dont see on shyt

I agree and disagree with Shaq, he did it like a bytch would
but he isnt seeing the marketing and status of Donovan as his own brand... he already knows he's not gonna win. Majority of the league already knows this... you cant pressure cats anymore to compete... they just clique up instead.

The only hater is Shaq and he been a hater since he came into the league. But yall sucked him off to no end

Facts. I don't know anyone that has a larger "Big Guy" complex than Shaq . He knows that , which is why he's never been checked for it. I respect Barkley for the fact he's one of the few people that aren't afraid to call him out . Also he's like a big bytch when it comes to not being accountable for his dumbass actions .

When he got his Magic teammates to go into the studio to make a celebration music video BEFORE the 1995 Finals .

The 2002 NBA Championship Parade. nikka , you beat my team weeks prior. Why are you still tripping over the Kings like Bibby fukked your side bytch? :gucci:

And we all know the fallout he had with Kobe, Phil and the rest of the Lakers and why :flabbynsick:

"Man up" :troll: . His minstrel act needs to pack it in too

I'm listening to Eddie Johnson on Sirius XM- NBA Channel and he's pretty much co-signing Shaq talkin' shyt just like an old vet would. And as he continues to talk it's plain as day.. the old heads are mad at the money these younger guys are making compared to what they made. That's it. That's the whole point of this. Its not even about where they're at or not at in their game play. Its all about the big contracts they're getting point blank

When you adjust for inflation. The old heads made the same money these guys are making now.

The thing I hate is how these dudes become cogs in the white resentment/racism complex that drives our sports, from fans to media. These guys retire and suddenly want to talk shyt about who is lazy, who didn't grow up with a father in their life, how "kids these days" are spoiled etc etc etc. If you heard Dave from Bawnstannn call into sports radio saying this shyt you'd turn the channel in disgust. So why should we tolerate Shaq or any other black man saying this shyt?

NFL wouldn't tolerate this type of nonsense btw. They protect their product. Dudes get on ESPN saying dumb shyt about the NFL but you don't get the same level of resentment and downright stupidity that you get from TNT/ESPN/FS1 NBA coverage.

That’s the new wave. From booger McFarland to Candace Owens. Get a black person to say some over the top racist shyt and watch YT smile

Shaq isn't hurting for money these days though :yeshrug:
I mean, sure, but I don’t think he’d be on tv near everynight and in all sorts of off brand commercials if he didn’t have to be. Won’t see Bron doing Icy Hot commercials after he retires, I bet.

But it always reverts back to the money players. If the Clipps are playing on TNT Shaq won't say one word on Zubac and his Great Value $6 million dollar a year salary. But get the Jazz, Philly, Bucks, etc. He's going to have a field day and go all in on those bigs on those teams.

And yeah of course the previous generation will feel like they paved the way and should've made way more salary than they did.. and I get that. But most of their commentary these days is coming from a pure envious jealous stance of the disparity in the contracts from back then to now. Their whole argument, platform, and foundation is, "These dudes making all this money and they can't take any criticism, *ahem* I mean motivation, from the old heads?":what:




"I got rings so I got G-14 clearance to say whatever I want to a present day player.. right Ernie?" :shaq:


I would love for Bron to use that against Shaq

"If you dont have atleast 4 mvps 4 Fmvps and top 5 scoring you can't talk me"


:lolbron:


But he not like that he been
Praising these players even while he still in the NBA

The difference is the OG legends had strong father figures in the household. People like KD and Lebron didn't and thus are calibrated to think emotionally like their mothers.

The “he did it to be motivational” reasoning is bullshyt.

Earlier in the show Shaq goes on and on saying Mitchel ain’t got it. How he’s a #2 or #3 guy, etc. Mitchel ends up having a big game for the win forcing TNT to interview.

The viral clip is just Shaq getting ahead of a potential “you ain’t say it to his face” narrative. Got nothin to do with being motivational. You can see it in his mannerism as he’s telling Donovan “Hey great game, but you not it. How you feel about that?” All shifty and shyt.

And Kenny had to awkwardly clean everything up immediately after.

Low moment.

Charles Barkley’s dad abandoned his family when he was born wtf are you talking about?

Believe what you want.

They love that fatherless talking point you

Cac saying that or a cac in black skin

It is what it is. Both of them dudes are sensitive and both of them were raised by their mothers. They didn't have any strong male figures in the house and that's why they're extra sensitive. You can play the tired cac card all you want. I don't give a shyt. You're probably just a stan.
