[@jbougsville7798]

To those saying "Javale needs to chill", it ain't like Shaq done made a couple of jokes at Javale's expense. He made Javale the primary joke of his entire show, and throws dirt on Javale's name on almost a weekly basis. Javale came to the Warriors, worked hard to transform his game and become a good player, he living out his childhood dreams and providing for his family playing ball. Now that he has really developed his game he takes pride in his name and his game, Shaq throws dirt on it on a weekly basis and the man had enough. It ain't like Shaq made one joke or does it now and then, he does it all the time and won't give Javale credit so Javale said f this man I'm standing up for my name. If you were in his shoes you'd wanna do the same, not many people have the balls to stand up to a guy like Shaq so I respect Javale for what he did. Then Shaq threatens violence on the man it just shows that Shaq been a bully his whole life, and if he can't intimidate someone verbally with his loud personality he tries to bully them physically. Bullies aren't bulletproof Javale gotta get some shooters to pull up lol

[@SamuraiWarrior144]

jbougsville 😂W for this comment frfr

[@13JacksonMr]

jbougsville 1. The show isn't about Javale McGee, It's about everyone in the NBA who does something stupid 2. Golden State should be ashamed of themselves asking for Shaq to be fired. They should not even be complaining 3. Javale McGee better improve if he's on the best team in the NBA. That was basically a gimmie. That is like u put a player like Andre Roberson on the Spurs and he gets good at passing.

[@elaie7318]

Wtf isn't that nba tbh, the league has been full of critics even the fans and I don't think that shaq being a man of such show is any different. it's just that javale McGee seems to be the supposed common thing about the show.

SAS skated and tap danced around the whole issue today if anyone watched FirstTake. Molly is the one who challenged him on his idiotic point.

Stephen A and Kellerman didn't want to upset their relationship with Shaq, an all-time NBA great, and a huge sports media personality. They knew Javale McGee was a journeyman and would be of no use of them to further their career. Just shows you the caliber of people. Shannon is a real one.

[@brookdevenharris]

TNT has the best nba coverage cause of stuff like this, theyre so genuine and hilarious and ernie and them boys always make everyone smile no matter what

[@gavinnniroopan9089]

At the expense of McGee and his family. It is easy to laugh and say it isn't serious when its not you being targeted for 5 years. It's one thing when he's the target of jokes here and there. But he is the target 90% of the time, and this year, it's purely based off of old content. Can you imagine if someone made a 2 minute video of Shaq's flaws and put it on national TV... and then put it on again the following weeks? If you place yourself in McGee's shoes and be truly honest with yourself, you could 100% understand what he is feeling and why its so upsetting. It's simple empathy.

[@XDatsIgnantX]

People need to stop with this "oh it's just jokes, get a sense of humor". JaVale has made some ridiculous plays, and Shaq rightly made fun of them, but now JaVale is doing fine in GS, and Shaq is digging up highlights from years ago (which he already made fun of), and just picking on the guy. People who ruthlessly mock and pick on people for no other reason than to feel better about themselves like Shaq really lack any capacity for empathy. I actually feel bad for people like Shaq and his sycophants, who are so insecure that they need to pick on people who just want to live their lives. I'm glad JaVale stood up for himself, because Shaq is nothing but an insecure bully, and Shaq just Shaqtin a Fool'd himself.

[@bigty390]

Rhody gtfoh

[@yep9839]

Why does everyone think Shaq plans and puts these things together himself. TNT producers tell him what to do, and he does it. You really think Shaq came running in one day with his Dr Strange outfit demanding them to film a Javale skit? Shaqs a paid clown, anyone who takes him seriously truly is a bumass.

[@giovannifosella2124]

[@chiomainyama1622]

jc _ so if someone tells you to slap someone will you do shaq knows better and knows right from wrong

[@yep9839]

No, that would be assault. Shaq's been a clown his whole career and TNT pays him to keep on doing that. Producers pick the clips, producers write the scripts, and Shaq plays the part he's meant to play. If you want a clown to stop clowning on you, stop playing like a clown.

[@hurrythepeace9443]

I understand Javale would be upset. Shaq should not have been as harsh. Javale honestly is underrated. But Javale has to own it. He needs to let it fire him to come back strong.

[@hurrythepeace9443]

SuperPunch76 yeah I guess. He's actually not a bad player he just messes up a lot.

[@FREE_WILL_DEFENDER]

Hurry the feet its not that its harsh its that its been goin on for 4 years

[@urmenior]

He did own it. But Shaq's been showing the same clips over and over. Not just that last tape. but just a few weeks ago he put up a turnover which wasn't a Shaqtin' moment at all, but he compared it to Javale's famous stumbling half court pass to prove that the new clip still resembled it somehow. Even Kenny didn't like it. People actually want to see Javale on Shaq's show. TNT must have encouraged Shaq for the ratings. And it would be still funny to see him if he kept doing the same mistakes, because it's how it started: His Shaqtin' moments came naturally. Now Shaq is forcing it. I don't think Javale would have fired back if Shaq didn't bully him. In fact, Javale is an intelligent guy, he took a shot at him when he intentionally went to inbound the opponent's ball a couple months ago. He doesn't lack sense of humor. But Shaq is making a fool out of him, and it sticks to him. It's like Harden, I see a lot of teenagers still getting to know about Harden from popular Shaqtin' moments, they think he still sleeps on defense. But Harden is a superstar and it doesn't ruin his reputation as much. If you're a center, especially in today's small ball game, it is not easy to prove those lowlights wrong because you don't dominate the ball even if you're one of the best big guys in the league (which Javale is obviously not). Shaq even called Tim Duncan *Mr. dumbdamental*, can you believe it? Tim scored over ten thousand points from his banking shots, he misses one at the end of his career and he's dumbdamental? And it's ironic Shaq couldn't hit one single banking shot from midrange. More than half of his missed shots were easily Shaqtin' moments, because he missed layups or terribly bricked it one step out of the paint. I saw Shaq's last tape on Javale and facepalmed before I even knew about Javale's reaction. That wasn't funny at all.

[@AEMoreira81]

JaVale has been pretty good this season.

[@troublefollows9986]

Shaq is a bully trapped in a bully's body...............Shaq goes out his way to put on a nice, funny guy routine. All of shaq life normal size people have expected shaq to be a bully because of his size, so he is extra funny at all times. But deep down he believes if I pick on a guy the same size or bigger....that's not bullying. So shaq wants to be bully without the label of one.

[@pepsi1182]

Cahluvca It is diminishing because teams have that in the back of there minds when deciding how much to pay these players and it's a part of his career but don't have to be brought up every year we don't see other players bad moments repeatedly brought up and Javale haven't been bad this year so it's not justified just reaching for ratings

[@cactus_jxck4274]

Javale has played great this season has only had maybe one or two shaqtin a fools this season. So it's just gets annoying when you're playing good and haven't messed for shaq to come out and bring up old messes for no reason

[@daeroniitargaryen8652]

In terms of analysis, what does Shaq add to the show? "Get it to the big man" "Dominate" "BBQ Chicken". The guy has rocks in his head.

[@y-townsking1599]

Much Respect to Shannon for this. 💯% truth

[@MrHearddat]

I swear I love the way this man uses his platform. 💯❌💯

[@rodjones6014544205]

the thing is without shaqtin-a-fool Shaq isn't a good on air talent..his voice is so husky and dry I barely understand what he is saying half the time..and he has super cringy moments with Kenny and Charles Barkley..and this coming from a huge Lakers fan from the Shaq era to now.

[@scottyxo4052]

Shannon speaking the Truth 💯💯💯

[@Xman62398]

It's a joke javale needs to calm down

[@freewill9457]

Pretty Boy Javi Lol yet if someone in your life was clowning you for years youd be ready to throw hands. Ignoring it is easier said then done my friend.

[@Rushking20]

Its been a joke for years though ruined the mans reputation

[@davidlee2498]

Shaq needs to grow up this has been going on 4 years it needs to stop

[@Xman62398]

rushking20 #TerribleTowels the man ruined his own reputation. Shaq just makes fun of him when he messes up just like everyone else on social media does

[@Rushking20]

Pretty Boy Javi i can guarantee you if javale still did all those things but shaq never had his show shaqtin a fool his reputation wouldn't be as bad

[@jeremiah9392]

Shannon Be Speaking facts 💯

[@AEMoreira81]

The hardest job in sports broadcasting has to be Ernie Johnson---balancing those personalities. As for Shaq, JaVale has only appeared on Shaqtin' once this calendar year (and it was really Stephen Curry's fault), but he has really treated JaVale worse than most people who make similar mistakes.

[@robertmccormick4888]

i dont normally care for shannons commentary but i thought this sement was genius level. He made perfect sense and a lot of great points. hats off to you shannon for analysing this situation in a proper well spoken manner

[@sheldonallison5014]

I love shannon sharpe.. shaq, is very much trying to be relevant like Barkley. I watch how he threatened Barkley. . he is very disrespectful

[@dickaguilar]

i agree wit Shannon! Worth everyone's respect! God bless you sir!

[@soklyvann3030]

Mad respect to Shannon. He's absolutely right!

[@moeshak9944]

You could make fun of people but respectful. Shaq should be the last person. You can’t talk shaq watching you talk is like waiting for a rock to move. Shaq can’t talk. He doesn’t know wat his talking about

[@acewalker.3915]

He right but it's all these companies that are ordering their workers to do this. Insulting black people or doing some race relations BS is big business these days

[@plantbased5673]

Amen, Shannon. Your comments were right on target. And thin-skinned Shaq, of all people, should know when to lay off.

[@JDOGHEINZMAN]

everyone is so soft nowadays

[@mr.russell5395]

The Cat With The Mac it ain't that he soft. It's that if people keep picking on you, after a while you're gonna eventually snap and fight back. And that's anybody

[@YourFriendZay]

Im not one to be excited to listen to an entire segment once race is brought into it. But Shannon was very respectful and brought a larger viewpoint that some may have overlooked.

[@FREE_WILL_DEFENDER]

shaq wrong in terms of constantly being on mcgee

[@gregoryjohnson4319]

Mr. Sharpe. Thanks for the Wisdom. No one else on Sports television seems to realize how this effects us all as a people.

[@MT-qw4mj]

People on here asking McGee to toughen up need to realise that bullying doesn't stop when you're a child, and it isn't limited to physical confrontations. Mental bullying is a thing, and to some extent is worse as it affects you mentally. Shaq has been specifically targetting McGee for no particular reason. Using footage from previous seasons to make a mockery out of a player who has been doing well this season.

[@creeplocc]

Honey Badger yea sadly some people on here think it funny to get bully and being reminded that you keep mess up until one day that person might cant handle it no more and commits suicide

[@thexboxshop3549]

"While your taking a shot at him, they're laughing at you also" Powerful words.

[@AntonyTheGod]

Ohhhhh my god stop taking fights between people and making it a race thing

[@davidlee2498]

I hear what you are saying but this has gone on 4 or 5 years enough is enough now with the race thing if you were black you would understand Shaq's mother got into it so I know it's serious

[@millennialaviation]

Anthony El Of course you don't understand..stay in your lane

[@AntonyTheGod]

I think it's a backwards mentality that prolongs Racism through haphazard use when nobody actually really wants to analyze the situation a little deeper

[@ethiopiainspace]

He said us black people. I think you are the one on the picture, so why are you jumping here? Us black people got a problem. We want validation from white people on everything, not something to be proud of but it's a white man world. So instead of trashing each other, we should big up each other. Making another black man a laughing stock is not something to be proud of

[@AntonyTheGod]

Yonas mulu because saying you want validation is a snide way of saying whites hold power of you which obviously I think is garbage. I'm first generation Australian from a family of immigrants so I have no dog in the fight. it's just my belief watching all of this that people who are the first to bring race into any sort of conversation are the ones who hold more prejudice

[@deesee2051]

So Skip can talk about LeBron for more then a decade n they mad at Shaq

[@monotonesarcasm]

Seriously, does JaVale even watch replays of his games? Until he stops being a joke on the court, he'll continue being on Shaqtin A Fool.

[@AnDr3w066]

He isn't a joke anymore he is playing pretty well and reusing year old clips just shows that shaq can't come up with new material and he just has it out for the guy.

[@AnDr3w066]

monotonesarcasm yeah but again clips that years old. What do clips that old have to do with his game now?

[@melvinbridgewater6165]

monotonesarcasm Nope It's Done Over Move On

[@melvinbridgewater6165]

car9melo It's Done

[@dannynohoes7373]

Where have you been? JaVale has been playing great on both ends of the floor lately but even if he wasn't then thats no excuse to continually attack a man who from all accounts is nothing but a good guy just because he isn't playing good. How about Shaq get some new material?

[@Icyking510]

When shannon said Bullets i already knew he was old school haha.

[@bigpoppapump4683]

Shaq jokes on everybody typical Warrior wants the easy way out. Shaq don't give him the Golden Ticket!

[@KingNez89]

Shannon is such a real dude and always keeps it 100. He is the one of the only black dudes on TV that actually has the right to speak to black people as a whole shannon is the truth and a authentic brother

[@michaelmoore9968]

The only men blacker than Shannon sharp. Afro Samurai Gary Payton Black Dynamite Black Panther

[@benscott6359]

Michael Moore Wesley snipes

[@zeno27xzeno]

thank you mr. sharp you are one of the greatest voices you know you would make a great politician you speak very well in the way that you explain things great

[@ShowtimeMari_]

Skip comes at LeBron wayyy harder than this. Technically Shaq's is still basketball related. This is only a big deal because Shaq was a great player and Skip is nobody.

[@Nestle245]

Skip never threatened Lebron. It's a difference once you're keeping it basketball. Shaq threatened to slap Javale the next time he saw him, Shaq took it to another level and shouldn't as an analyst but of course he isn't that, he's just an angry bully.

[@ShowtimeMari_]

Ness Rosenbrad I was referring to when skip is debating he'll go out of his way to bash lebron even when the topic has nothing to do with him... which is similar to what shaq does... only difference is LeBron doesn't respond to skip because, lk I said, to bron skip is a nobody.

[@jmar682]

this is why I have the upmost respect for Shannon Sharpe... out of all the black sports analyst and commentators he is my favorite. what I admire the most is his honesty, especially issues pertaining to African Americans...and yes the crab Barrel affect is real and it needs to stop !!!
