Shaq got reckless on TNT Thursday night with some curse words.
O’Neal was co-hosting TNT’s NBA coverage Thursday from the Bay Area in Northern California, as the All-Star Game will be held at Chase Center this weekend in San Francisco. TNT had local star Marshawn Lynch join them, which may have rubbed off on Shaq in the wrong way.
As they were headed to a commercial break during halftime of the Minnesota Timberwolves-Oklahoma City Thunder game, Shaq got crazy.
“In the words of Marshawn Lynch, I’m tired as sh-t, America,” O’Neal said, to much laughter.
Shaq doubled down on his profanity.
“We getting fired anyway, Ernie. F–k it,” he added.
You can see the unedited version:
It’s crazy to hear someone get so wild with their profanity on a cable channel.
O’Neal talking about getting fired anyway is an allusion to Turner Sports losing the broadcast rights to its longstanding NBA package.
In case you’re wondering what made Shaq so tired, it was losing a race to the board against Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley.
