Chuck is right. If certain teams aren’t in the race, the league suffers. You need viewership and interest to generate money. You need those big teams in the race which is why people allude to game rigging. I think the league pushes for certain teams and storylines. Remember a guy sued the NFL for not getting a “authentic” product. They lost. It was said the NFL is an entertainment business. You aren’t entitled to “fair” games. Let that sink in..

As someone who witness the late 80’s NBA up till now I can say Shaq was never the brightest player. He never needed to be.

For example like Bird who made a career off of doing just that.

Imo, I don't think it really applies to rookies. Like if they're on a losing team, it shouldn't be held against them, because most of the top rookies go to bad teams anyways. You can't expect a rookie to come in & make a bad team start winning right away, of course some have in the past, but for most of them it doesn't work that way. Off topic, but MVP on the other hand, it's a different case, I didn't like how they gave Westbrook & Jokic the MVP when they were the 6th seeds. Winning should matter in the MVP race, otherwise Kobe should've gotten it the year he was killing it but they were the 7th seed.

Yet the fans you speak of aren't watching the game anymore.... Ratings for the game is in the gutter. Less people are watching it because the best players aren't being picked. People don't want a popularity contest. They want to watch the best players.

[@Iconic486]

@@kreizeeboi that’s not true at all if they did that then all international players should be at the top of the voting numbers but all of them didn’t just the top international players made it

[@richyrich2880]

Kenny quick to say he from NY. First off thats the first time i heard him confirm this.

[@papirasta1058]

Whenever Shaq is pissed it’s always some deep down trauma from him getting slighted lmaoooo I believe you Shaq your correct

[@joegevorkyan7308]

Shaq was spot on. Winning doesn’t matter that much for all star selection as it does for other categories. All star is a stat pick really, always was.

[@AgentSeventyOne]

Look at Ernie's face as Shaq begins to nuke his own argument lol 5:43

[@5k_randoms268]

“But I don’t want it change”😂😂

[@Suge8263]

Jotdan poole just caught a stray

[@jimmykarlsson2567]

I agree. When these old-school big cities teams like Lakers, Boston, New York, Detroit, Philadelphia and Chicago are relevant and battles for the championship, That's when the NBA are great and will bring new fans to the sport from around the world

[@andrewashford5617]

Why would they disagree, did they not see the knicks vs nets game. That was the most insane shhh ever, the knicks bought all the tickets for a Brooklyn home game and bridges was getting boood at the free throw line and it turned into a home game for knicks. That’s energy! No other fan base doing that shhh, same wit LA everybody comes out for those games. It’s a way better environment when they’re playing good

[@johnszczerba9979]

I'm still trying to figure out Shaq's take on saving money getting gas. It's an old references but the video is still on KZbin

[@cheemie1188]

This is why I love the Thursday crew better. The other crew just agrees with Shaq and they brush off anyone who disagrees. Candace was checking Shaq abt the Indiana and Milwaukee rivalry and Lefkoe just proceeded with the next discussion

[@hanamichimakunuchi500]

this is why i love this show.. all of them represents all of each of us individually and the only difference is that they played the game.....

[@DougTheFresh]

“I would just like to see guys start one time.” Meanwhile Dame has never started an All-Star game.

[@aaronknight346]

Great thumbnail!!!! Bc you got me, that wasn’t a heated argument but u watched it 😂

[@pryx4661]

Kenny Smith on that JUST FOR MEN beard dye, acting like you ain't completely gray LOL

[@justinjones110]

Maxey Mitchell Brunson>>> DAME

[@nonenot924]

And Trae Young

[@clutchdunks]

Hell naw

[@StuTheDon17]

Hell. I'm taking Holiday over Dame at the moment. He offers more.

[@8dascool8]

Talking about NY Charles: “Keneth” Kenny: “KenNY”

[@slavche]

"I don't wannna change it.." -Shaq , 100 minutes after this moment. Hilarious, love these guys :D In TV they humble, in the "game", they killed.

[@ladon1468]

“I don’t wanna change it“ 😒😂😂

[@charlesjohnson536]

SHAQ IS 100% RIGHT .. BACK IN THE DAY .. NOBODY WAS SAYING LOOK AT THE RECORD .. IT WAS ALL ABOUT AN INDIVIDUAL PLAYER'S GREATNESS ..

[@jonathandevereaux298]

That's wrong, they picked the best players on the best teams, if a team wasn't in the top 8 they rarely had an all star.

[@toicy4thesnowman224]

I agree with Shaq. I didn’t make any votes this year but if I did, I’m voting the players I like. I don’t care about their record. I’m voting for my favorite players.

[@ohhhyeahhh1174]

I agree and disagree with shaq saying fans voted their all stars back then, the thing is compared back then to today is that fans back then we took everything serious, today there is alot of what people today call trolls.. adults with brains of 10 year olders sadly.

[@orlandotill]

Yeah, remember when Zaza got votes or when Andrew Wiggins almost got in a few years ago, lol. Fan Campaigns can be meme's nowadays.

[@nydibs]

Still mad that Wiggins was voted in, Anthony Edwards should have been an all star over him

[@MyNameIsSyx]

Chuck said he is like a real starter like he hasn’t started all the games this year!!😂😂

[@Wedoheal]

😂 these guys never miss

[@aynsleyjeansonne]

As a kid the first thing I looked at before Allstar voting was name recognition, then stat lines for the year… w/l’s probably wasn’t considered until I was in college
