I really didn’t care much for those guys as players, but their studio show is SO good. Honestly there’s nothing like it. The nfl and college fb/bb try to do this, but it’s not nearly as good. I find myself watching postgame first off because they know ball, but second because they’re having fun.

It's really good because all the guys have credibility, it's funny, and they just say what they think. It's not forced yelling and "hot" takes, they don't take themselves to seriously, and they don't talk about LeBron and the warriors the entire time either.

Best pregame, halftime and post game show in any sport, ever.

CFB could learn something from them. It’s so much better when the analysts aren’t beholden to certain teams or conferences. As in what conference the network ihas a contract with.

You know ESPN is going to mess it up right from the start, and Ernie, Kenny, and Chuck will say **** it and “retire” after a year or two. Who knows about Shaq.
I dont think so. Doubtful those guys agree to work for ESPN if they dont have full control. I think the fact that all the production for the show is staying the same says that ESPN knows it's a product they shouldn't mess with for the time being. That could change if the ratings start to slip.

Shaq will never retire, dude is a workaholic not just on the show. As long as TNT retains production rights as is (not sure how long the current terms are) it will be fine. I still hate seeing ESPN getting money from something too good for them.
