Shaq has always been a man to speak his mind, and the perfect forum for Shaq’s rebuttal to the critics would be by sitting in front of his biggest talker of them all, Skip Bayless.
Skip Bayless is the quintessential trash talker, but he is nobody special in the sports industry.
This man has made his career by pissing people off, and plenty of athletes have wanted a piece of the action. While those athletes wouldn’t be able to match Bayless’ wit and smarts, a well prepared Shaq could make Skip look very foolish.
The best part of watching Skip talk is when he refers to his days of playing sports, but they’re all the way back when he was in high school. He claims that he was good in school, but he wasn’t good enough to do anything but star on his JV team.
Shaq was one of the greatest centers of all time, and the fact that he likes to have fun shouldn’t be a concern of anyone besides his friends and family.
As an analyst, your job is to break down games and player performances, not criticize a man for being overweight or too old. It’s one thing to say he shouldn’t be that way on a team, but to destroy him over his lifestyle is terrible.
If Shaq will agree to come on the show and the two can remain somewhat civilized, it could make for some of the best TV in years.
While I highly doubt this will ever happen, I bet that Bayless would try to get Shaq to snap the whole time by saying downright mean things, and odds are he would succeed too!
