Kenny and Shaq can NEVER give a straight answer because they're afraid of pissing off the current players.Charles is not trying to be nobody's friend.He speaks the truth because he doesn't care about these player's feelings.Thanks Chuck.
U said it bro!
Do we watch the same show? How many beefs does Shaq have because of his comments lol
@@ROCKBETHENAME wit certain players like mcgee not no all star tho
I think they just actually disagree on this issue. Not everybody is afraid of being a critic.
@@wixkedwill7011 AD just last week about him not being a BIg Man
Chuck has a point. It's disrespectful on other people's time to be LATE period.
Agreed
💯 %!!!!!!!!
Very true
Well yea .
You act like they're not still getting paid no matter if James Harden is late or not and millions by the way✌
All superstars do but the greatest ones don't abuse it.... Nobody can ever yell at guys like Kobe or MJ or Lebron or Duncan for being late. Difference is they would never be late in the first place because they understand the importance of discipline, culture and setting an example.
Kawhi wont understand
Bingo
Lebron started Load management tho 🤦🏾♂️
@@blind-sidelocc6052 nope the spurs did
@@Thomson07 Na look at LeBron in Miami videos. They started it and Spurs ran with it
Kenny really has a talent with talking without really saying anything , i missed him
so do most politicians
He's pretty annoying
Like Kanye and Kyrie
It's incredible.
Cwebb or KG would be a better replacement for kenny, he has become the weakest link even though Shaq has been very childish most of the time
Chuck is the exact opposite of Kenny he always make things sound simple but makes a lot of sense and his not biased also. Dude is not afraid to speak his opinion because he know his always honest and fair. Chuck do his job right.
Kenny is trying to be management or GM in the NBA he is trying to get a job.
Kenny is terrible and annoying
Don't tell ESPN how to be fair and honest.
Kenny is good stop hating man, this is the best show of sports in the world
@@marcomangiantini4917 it is now that The Starters isn't a thing anymore.
“they can be roleplayers; they can’t be your best player.” ✅✅✅
Dennis Rodman wasn't exactly a normal roleplayer, but yeah, Rodman was never a leader of a team, so him being late wasn't a big deal in terms of team chemistry.
Shaq admitted to being late all the time. I thought he was the best player on the lakers. I get what your trying to say but I feel like, there are exceptions to that "rule"
@@andrewkim2013 He was for the first 4-5 years, at least.
@@andrewkim2013 and that's why and him and Kobe couldn't get along, Kobe was upset with Shaq coming to camp overweight and showing low work eithic
@@andrewkim2013..... nope!! I like what chuck said about his coach when he was a young player and DR J and Moses Malone got left cuz they were late!!! Lol.... now that is a coach!!!!
Missed this more than the games man

Yea these guys are the best

“Is disrespectful to be late” -Sir. Charles Always speaking the truth, man!
Sooo, when Scotty says chuck was not dedicated to winning in Houston, Chuck was disrespectful to his team. Scotty never forgot it!
@@bowsershark year later but if you’re still listening to Scotty after all this time then you’re lost lol
Right. This is bigger than basketball! For your job, for your siblings game, doing the dishes before your parents get home… it’s good to be on time because it not only benefits you but it helps the others around you too
Chuck makes a good point though. Shouldn't ever let your superstar player have that much control, just sends the wrong message to the rest of the team. Gotta be a balance
That's why the Spurs were so successful.When players came from other teams and saw Pop chewing out Tim Duncan, they knew they had no chance to get away with anything.Its starts with your " superstar", then everyone else falls in line.
@@missayawk Yup. Once i saw coach pop yelling at Tony Parker's face after Tony made a defensive error. Guess what, they're up by 25 pts in the 4th qtr at that time.

But this is cap. rocketswire.usatoday.com/2019/10/02/rockets-owner-tilman-fertitta-tells-final-hours-of-paul-westbrook-deal/ The rockets owner was the one who shoved the westbrook trade down moreys throat and even bragged about doing so after.
It's why I wish someone would have given him a shot at being a GM
1:50 shaq: "is harden really abusing power? he's not." 6:30 shaq: "being late once or twice is okay but if you're constantly being late then yes, that's an abuse of power." that's exactly what was reported about harden, that he's constantly late 🤣🤣
Idk bruh this man on something else sometimes 😂
Him and Kenny trying to defend and justify Harden , while knowing perfectly well that he's guilty , does make them look awkward .
@@whaleycoyote5226 its cuz shaq probs did the same thing and acts like its not wrong
Then he goes on to say "I was always late"
Shaq is defending him because he used to do the same thing. He wants to feel good about himself.
Charles is absolutely right here while Kenny said absolutely nothing the whole segment.
This song should be on 2K21 soundtrack kzhead.info/sun/i8NqfpZ8n6qOoYk/bejne.html
He just said some garbage filler words lol
And Kenny takes most of the air time with his gibberish nonsense, so replaceable man.
Kenny talk non sense most of times. I don’t get his point.
Nah y'all just don't be paying attention and think you are better than Kenny's opinion. He made valid points and gave his opinion
Kenny can talk for days without really saying anything.
"Well we can degree to disagree" - Sir Charles Barkley
kzhead.info/sun/q9ujgLuseYxsgX0/bejne.html
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
lol
Charles Barkley is the most adult on this matter. He gets that you Harden being late and the rockets allowing it, makes it hard for the coaches/management to establish and enforce rules and set order among the team.
Harden is cancer
Charles on set was a different person than Charles the player though. When guys like Shaq and Charles talk about being disciplined its quite hypocritical.
This. I remember what coach Pop said to Tim Duncan at his retirement ceremony. Pops thanked Timmy for letting the coach 'coach' the team. All the shouting the coach did at Duncan made the rest of the team fall in line and receive the same treatment without any complaints. Made the coach's job easier and actually focus on improving the team instead spending unnecessary energy on these superstar James Harden diva BS. Discipline and establishment of rules was what was so important to the Spur's success and TD deserves so much credit on and off the court for setting the tone of the team.
There's a reason Chuck has three Emmys for doing this show. He and Ernie have to carry Kenny and Shaq's dead weight all the time.
fax!
Shaq's best contribution is his laugh. Kenny sometimes sets Chuck up for a great moment, but typically he doesn't add much.
I think they should replace shaq with KG
the Crisco Kid!
Facts 💯
Shaq was talking about Dennis Rodman. Only person I could think of who dont take showers and get 20 rebounds a game on his team 😂
i came to the comments for this.
He was 98-99 season and then they released him after a few girls lol
Lol I automatically knew it was Dennis once he said 25-30 rebounds and no showers
He threw me off when he said Phil Jackson/Kurt Rambis. Phil wasn’t coach at that time so I’m assuming he misspoke.
Looool
shaq with the "G14 classified" rush hour movie quote haha
😂😂💀
Hahaha I burst out laughing
Lol, I caught that too!
“No one has more fifty double triple pointers”
what exactly.. is that stat
It don’t matter if you can’t win in the playoffs!!

Can't stop laughing at this!

@@NeilSharks... he was in College.... but, a solid role player in Houston.... I think he made an all star team when Jordan was gone. He was like one of those guys just a step below an all star... a guy that would get you around 15 pts a night.
Kenny: "I have never seen a superstar abuse their powers" Kenny 3 minutes later: "There isn't a scenario in basketball that I haven't seen"
first as a player. second working in basketball, not that complicated

@@richardanthony7855 he was being sarcastic.
😂😂😂😂😂.....
Chuck: “Hey Kevin do you think stars get preferential treatment?” Kevin: “Yeah”
Shaq and Kenny literally have mastered the art of talking a lot and saying absolutely nothing.
Kobe would be 3 hours before anyone in practice...he would finish his own practice before practice starts.....
I never liked Kobe during his playing days but the way he trained and prepared himself was the most professional you could ask from a player. Even after his retirement he said he didn't miss the game because he did absolutely everything he could.
That's what ....he had money and titles but still wanted to be better and trained harder than anyone and never complained...mamba mentality at work....
@@jigmeewangchuk7788 that's why he said the style Harden plays will never win championships.

Remember Kevin mchale when he said harden isn’t a leader ? Yeah he was so right
Charles is the smartest basketball mind on that panel and it’s not even close. Shaquille won a lot and Kenny won with Hakeem and is articulate so that’s how they got there.
Pretty much
Definitely and he gets hate for his extreme takes but he’s joking on those. When he’s serious like in this clip, he’s usually 100% right.
He's also the best basketball player on the panel as well
Shaqs really there because he's a great personality and plays off Chuck well, not so much for analysis
Shaq be like ''Politicians can get preferential treatment and take some money under the table but it's okay if they give ''donation'' to the community''
I'm always with Chuckster !!! He is always right , except for guarantees 😜
Haha true
Whoooo!! ( flying sticker with chucks face)
😂😂😂😂 no lies there
I GARRONTEE..IT! lol.
The difference between Harden and all those other guys like Kobe, Shaq, MJ, Bron is they got CHAMPIONSHIP RINGS. It’s one thing to put up 50 point triple doubles during the regular season but what really matters is playoff wins and championship rings.
Its also a shame that he had to go through the dynasty Warriors. But the Rockets were the closest team to beat a healthy Durant/Warriors team.
I kept waiting for Kenny to bring up Hakeem.
I'm surprised he didn't jump to Hakeem's defense when Chuck was naming players deserving of preferential treatment.
Hakeem was humble
Considering that Hakeem was a better player than Charles in their heyday

@@lakersin556 funny
@@ianbjornnongay60 Exactly funny, he thinks the players make the league lol. I'll just say what Kevin Durant once said "I don't matter, when I retire they will be talking about the new guy." The NBA is really good at finding and MARKETING the next guy. The players don't make the league, they really only need like a handful of the players to sell the sport and they can always find new ones.
Thats why I cant wait one of them European to rise up and become better than our native nba player so they can actually act like the way they supposed to. Like MJ, Kobe or Bird
Shaq - “triple double pointers”
That's 30 points
Fifty of em ! 🤣
"triple double fifty pointers"
I'm still trying to do the math !!! 😂😂😂😂
I think everyone starts sleeping when Kenny starts talking
I just wait for Chuck to cut him off when Chuck realizes " Wait a minute, Kenny ain't making no sense....LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING!"

I missed TNT so much. i hope they get to cover the Finals some day
They cover the finals. NBATV is apart of TNT.
I agree with Charles on this one. Mike, Larry, Magic and Kobe had something that many NBA stars lack today and is commitment, work hetic and discipline! That's why those guys were the best 🏀
Guys like KD, Lebron, giannis and curry are also insane work ethic.
Hakeem, Duncan, Stockton.
@@JustLikeHeaven77 I swear modern players get called lazy because of the few lazy players
It's great having the guys back in our lives!
Barley said it right, a consistent bad habit cannot actually make a player really the best. The best has consistent and reliable habits of leadership and considering all the other members of the team. There is a standard which is in the sport, and a standard of the team specifically, you are either fully in that standard or making your own and not part of that team. Barkley has a very clear line of morality and professional decorum. And they are one in building the athletes character and team together.
Kenny that one guy in class scorching through those 1000 word essays during exams.
Allowing a player to miss practice the day after a game and permitting a player to stay back in between games, is preferential treatment. Flights being delayed, bus rides not leaving on time and film sessions not starting on time due to constant lateness, is abuse of power.
Paul Martin...Plain and Simple.Its not that hard Shaq and Kenny.
I believe Shaq was talking about Rodman
Rodman didn't take 🚿 😭😂😔🤦
didn't the 20+ rebounds give it away?
Wooow, what a prediction... Congrats man you're a star
@@harlequin7735 ty idk if u was talking to me ???
@@AquariusLeviathanProphecy replied to the orig post, the bloke really got some insight of the game
Shaq talking about preferential treatment is like a homosexual explaining why it’s wrong to be homosexual. Talking about constantly putting in the work yet took summers off knowing he could because Kobe was grinding long hours in the gym.
Right a couple of rap albums, he was in a movie just about every other year, hosted comedy shows etc.
What a player does during the off-season has nothing to do with preferential treatment. You’re just a hater.
His summers were his summers; not his obligation.
This is a reach, Shaq took summers off mostly because he had just finished making deep playoff runs including 3 straight championships. This would wear down his body. But he got the most blame whenever we didn’t win and had obligations as a team leader. His preferential treatment came with crazy expectations that he delivered on more often than not.
Summer has nothing to do with what they are talking about... that’s their off time.
Boy, I miss this show. Kenny the jet smith, Sir Charles, The Big Santa and to weap it all Ernie Johnson! Welcome back guys!
Long story short: preferential treatment is okay if you’re delivering on the team’s expectations and in the case of James Harden he wasn’t doing that. Those record breaking numbers means nothing if he flamed out so many times in the playoffs
Could say the same about the clippers and PG. If u don't play to the expectations of the team and u get preferential treatment, u lose respect and team chemistry is broken
He “flamed out” because CP3 got hurt and the greatest team ever was in the West
@@nibbatello3120 1 year vs 5 years simple rally
@@ananth7865 there were reports that him and kawhi could control when the team practices and take constant vacations. Both weren't leaders for there teams and didn't perform when the team needed them most. No respect

Chuck: We can degree to disagree
Harden is a great player but you can’t act like you run the organization if you don’t win rings.
Exactly👌🏽
Amen
Kenny is that person at work that says “yes” and “i agree” with absolutely EVERYONE, and therefore has the respect of no-one.
“I read the article, I read it berbatim.” 😂 -Chuck
Then he said, "well we can degree to disagree" 😂😂😂
Sounds like Shaq was talking about Dennis Rodman
Yes, but Rodman wasn’t there when Phil was there.
@@TheTabahnator That's why he said Kurt Rambis name first....he was the coach in '99 when Rodman was there. He probably forgot that Dennis wasn't there in 2000 when Phil arrived.
All that has happened in 2020, I'm so glad this crew is still here.
Man these guys are so entertaining. Love their insights and different perspectives.
1:08 No, that's still abuse of power and you know the only reason Shaq said that is because he abused his power and that's why he hated Pat Riley because he couldn't abuse his power anymore there
Never thought about that but, yes, this is a great take
The culture that the rockets have is cancer. The team is disintegrating and it starts at the top with harden.
The front office createe free d that monster they shouldn’t get to slander harden now
I genuinely think whatever team ends up trading for Harden end up with a poisoned chalice, of course he's an incredible scorer but you have to question how the personality he has shown now will mesh with any existing culture a team has. Plus, if it's a team where they want Harden to play off the ball I look forward to him standing still in the corner for 20+ minutes.

@@mz4298 hes toxic straight up
I'm with Chuck on this one. I typically live by Lombardi time: "If you are five minutes early, you are already ten minutes late."
A lot of people talk smack about Charles Barkley but he truly was a great Leader and player who understood the game, the players, and system.
James Harden's track record in the playoffs dont grant him the benefit of the doubt. The fact that he has all this power after how he imploded against the spurs in 2017 is crazy.
I remember when Kobe didn't want to practice because the scrubs couldn't do anything for him. Charmin soft.
Kobe didn't want to practice with them. He still worked with Phil Jackson and his personal trainers to know the plays and stay fit. Kobe work ethic was immense.
@@WalkoffGrandslam oh for sure!!!! Man studied mad tapes! Plus was at practice before those bums of 2013-16.

Really missed you guys. Great opinions and they are very real.
Even though you have preferential treatment cause you're a superstar you should always still know how to implement discipline and work into yourself cause you ain't there to only be given special treatment... You're there to put work and win a ring
Best show on television 📺 happy to see the guys are back 🙌
I love Ernie Johnson Jr, Kenny Smith, Charles Barkely and Shaquille O"Neal or all these guys.
Love all but Kenny.
All you had to say was “i love these guys.”
Love this show. Missed this more than the games lol
MJ is the GOAT of basketball. Chuck is the GOAT of basketball analysis.
Chuck and Shaq both make great points. But I’m gonna lean towards Chucks opinion. Being late is such a corny excuse and a complete waste of everyone’s time. Westbrook right to be mad.
I knew Shaqta Claus was real
Chuck is ferocious rofl, i love it.
First!, oh yeah was Shaq talking about Dennis Rodman, hahaha!
I dont know if he played with Shaq

I'm glad, but wondering why Kenny is still there.
somebody has to ask iverson abt this situation reporter: ai, what do u think about this situation about harden skipping practice? ai: practice? not the game, we talkin about practice?
Woohoo there back . These men the only reason I keep a interest in the NBA . Love this show 😉
Leading by example is important for team morale, but for me your superstar preferential treatment wouldn't be a problem as long as it doesn't affect your production.
Or doesn't affect the team. Kawhi and PG have been in LA for one year and we all knew the Clippers culture was toxic since they constantly threw blame around. If everything about Harden and the Rockets is true, it's crazy that it's only coming out now. I never heard about the locker room being toxic or Harden being a hindrance since Harden was the one who carried the team every year. The Harden stuff seems like it didn't affect the team as much as the Kawhi and PG stuff did.
Todays stars are soft, but it's hard to blame them because they're surrounded by yes men.
Too many AAU Kids in this league
That falls on owners and coaches as well, they are enablers. The only players I believe deserve special treatment and have nothing else to prove now are LeBron, Durant and Curry and im in the middle with Kawhi. Other than those players nobody deserves a pedestal.
Funny how Shaq talks about putting in the work when he coasted a whole lot on raw talent and his body mass only.
So happy these guys are back!!
When you're a superstar the rest of the team looks to you. Your actions speak louder than words. Championship teams don't have people coming in late and not caring. In fact they're putting in extra effort to not only imporve themselves, but to set an example for their teammates.
Barkley definitely got better treatment than Oliver Miller lol
Oh Shaq... Kobe got you traded because you were late, taking days off and taking easy days
Nope it was about the money
Never got in the best shape he could, clowning.
You literally just made that up like you know something lol
They didn’t want to pay Shaq. Shaq was all about the money and how much other big men were making compared to him. He wanted max money.
@@LuckyC555 they didn't want to max cuz maybe he's playing alongside Kobe who grinds to be great where as shaq is the opposite but just gifted with talents and size. Shaq has a stubborn ego...Laker wouldn't have any issue giving him max money if he put in the work to improve his game besides just being dominate cuz of his size. Shaq would be considered all time great if he actually improve his free-throw and wasn't the reason why everyone is now doing the hack-a-shaq rule to win or comeback in a game.
It's good to have you back guys
Awesome show
Kenny’s zebra story has to be one of the greatest nba stories of all time
Shaq is so huge that it would take 500 corona 🦠 to hurt him

Blessed n healthy season to you all guys 💪🏿🤎🖤✊🏾
Miss these guys ❤️
Chuck is straight forward
While kenny spoke a lot without making any sense.
Kenny is not trying to burn bridges. Bro either be a commentator or be in management.
So annoying
why do I love watching this show so much now
Barkley my favorite player, grew up in phx, saw his first introductory night at a Rattlers game at half time..(was awesome by the way) ..but, he was that player that got away with being late to practice at Suns facility, so I guess you could say he knows exactly what he is talking about, but he definitely may have been late to more than 2 practices in Phx in the 90's.
Micheal Jordan: I never asked anybody to do anything I wouldn't. He was first in practice last to leave. Didn't take days off James Harden: Im not coming to practice im not studying film on a regular when I do come imma be late and imma take days off go party away from the team even in a pandemic and you better get me a team even though I can only play 1 way or trade me This is like a CEO who makes your company Billions but is skimming millions off the top and everyone knows it but turns a blind eye because "the company still makes plenty." "They can afford it." If you're not going to put the work in consistently dont wonder why you don't win anything. I dont care how many triple doubles he puts in now when someone says why won't Harden win? He doesn't work as hard as everyone else. This is why he's a average to below average defensive player. Thats all he wants to be.
Amen!!
If you late to my work more than once in a row, we chatting.
Don’t even KNOW how hyped I am that these guys are baaack!!
Very interesting real topic
Sometimes this is the only reason why I watch Basketball.. dem churros 😂✌
"50 point triple-double pointers"
Yes, Superstars get preferential treatment BUT you must never abuse it. You must respect your teammates & grind JUST AS HARD as your teammates & coaching staff.
Charles is one of the best power forewards in the game......when he speaks to players wrongfully abusing power everyone should listen up instead of hiding away or smoothing over the blatant truth
