However, hes not up to date with todays game.

A few years ago , he didnt know that Pascal was Pascal Siakam s first name.

ONeal and Charles Barkley dont do a good job for TNT.

All they do is bash todays players.

Thats not how you grow the game.

It also doesnt help that ONeal and Barkley dont know half of the players in the league.

They only talk about the big names and teams.

And when they do speak about the teams and players, its always negative.

New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson had a triple-double against the Los Angeles Clippers, finishing with 22 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists.

And guess what? ONeal wasnt impressed.

Shaq after Zion dropped a triple double: You giving him props for that? I need more.

Anybody can get 20 points now.

Thats not good enough.

Im not impressed by that https://t.co/EKOcGxEpPL pic.twitter.com/EmhtpZzXxr Oh No He Didnt (@ohnohedidnt24) March 12, 2025 NBA media would be better off without ONeal and Barkley.

Unfortunately, the two NBA greats will be joining ESPN next season.

As NBA fans know, JB Bickerstaff coaches the Pistons, who are 37-29.

They are in sixth place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Detroit won only 14 games last season.

Bickerstaff, who was fired by the Cleveland Cavaliers last summer, has done a terrific job with the Pistons, who would be a playoff team if the season ended today.

Billups is also doing a good job with the Blazers, who are 28-38.

They are in 12th place in the rugged Western Conference standings.
