Shaq’s Electric Rant Rocks the House…
As the hoops circus pulls down its tent and trots off to NBC, Shaquille O’Neal, hoopster demigod and commanding colossus of charisma, electrifies the arena with an oratory slam dunk! He’s been ruling the broadcast airwaves like a benevolent basketball Zeus over at TNT’s “Inside the NBA” with his squad of hoop wizards—Charles “Bubble Chuck” Barkley, Kenny “Jetstream” Smith, and the ever-steady Ernie “Chillax” Johnson. Like the Avengers of airwaves, they’ve been the dunk-sized favorites of fans, so when Shaq unleashed his speech, it was like an inferno of inspiration, melting even the hardest of basketball hearts.
With TNT grabbing its last dance sneaker and handing off the NBA baton, ESPN’s done the alley-oop save! Shaq the Tower of Talk took to the court to unleash fiery words of solidarity, assuring fans their fab four would still be dribbling words of wisdom on screens next season. Barkley and Smith, both visibly jazzed, looked ready to take on the ninja squirrels of negativity as they dribbled through the emotional maze Shaq laid out like Picasso with a basketball!
NBA fans everywhere can breathe a sigh of cartoonish relief. Their beloved screen squad won’t be ghosting into the hoop horizon anytime soon, thanks to ESPN’s savvy steal of a slam dunk show. It’s a basketball soap opera with more spins than a Harlem Globetrotter on a merry-go-round, and it’s flying into your living room next season, same great players, brand new network!
