I mean, not quite. He said "I don't watch Shaqtin a Coon" but I don't believe he ever called him an Uncle Tom? I don't remember that and I'm not finding it in google searches.

Also he compared him to Bert Williams, a black man wearing blackface, not a white man in blackface

Basically sounds to me like calling Shaq a money-motivated sell-out clown with no self-respect.

If we're busy getting offended about stuff I'm not entirely sure what Iguodala's tweet from 2014 (maybe about Richard Sherman yelling on TV?) was about?

Because he made fun of him for doing stupid poo poo on the court every week. This whole thing just stupid. And Steve Kerr acting like Shaq is an actual cop lol

However I would like to see Shaq try to chase down a suspect on foot.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I don't disagree with a lot of what Javale is saying about Shaq but I also think he is being a baby about this Shaqtin' stuff and the Warriors getting involved is silly.

Yeah. I mean, the man has legitimately done some of the dumbest stuff ever seen on an NBA court.

Really he should be going after Kenny Smith for robbing him in the dunk contest.

quote:

The Golden State Warriors have reached out to Turner Sports to discuss Shaquille O'Neal's ongoing coverage of center JaVale McGee, league sources told ESPN.

Sources told ESPN that the Warriors contacted Turner officials to express concern about TNT's yearslong McGee coverage on the "Shaqtin' a Fool" segment on the popular "Inside The NBA" show, with the team contending that the ongoing negative portrayal of the veteran center is doing unnecessary damage to McGee's reputation.

A Turner source confirmed the discussions with the Warriors and told ESPN that "the matter has been discussed internally" after a Twitter feud erupted Thursday night between O'Neal and McGee.

Portis is trash. Bulls comeback happened when Fred figured this out and benched him down the stretch.

Although in fairness I guess you need to figure out if Portis can play. Same with Grant, Denzel, and Felicio.

PJ Tucker played 28 minutes in he debut, got 10 pts and 10 rebounds, and looked like he would have killed a man for the basketball. I love this man. Ibaka was great in his debut as well. Both of them played as if they were on the team for the whole season already.

Yea Javale is way off base with the coon insult. Especially with Chuck in the same drat studio.

Shaq is doing nothing worthy of that insult and its kind of being cheapened with how wrong McGee is using it
