Barkley thinks Shaq will get an Analyst fired

 

 

After Shaquille O'Neal called it quits after 19 NBA seasons, many people around the NBA and even Shaq knew that we had not just seen the last of Shaq on our televisions. Charles Barkley was just one of those people to believe that Shaq is planning to come to our televisions through the NBA analyst route that many other former NBA players, like himself, has done. Although Barkley sees the situation as a negative for the current NBA analysts on whichever channel Shaq ends up signing too. "Somebody is gonna be fired whether it’s at TNT or ESPN. He’s gonna get a TV job if he wants it. Somebody is getting their final walking papers as we speak." Of course it is plausible that someone may be fired due to Shaq becoming a TV-like "free agent" and a studio wanting and needing to make room for the 7'1 Hall of Famer. ESPN would be the one company that would most likely fire someone to make room for Shaquille O'Neal
