NBA Countdown on ESPN still is not on the level of Inside the NBA on TNT

Webber is a hell of alot better at analyzing than Shaq. For all of Shaq's greatness, he's not especially articulate when it comes to breaking down the game.

Well Barkley is supposed to be leaving TNT not sure when. So I guess that will make the TNT only slightly better than ESPN?

That's not exactly true. He stated in the article that his contract is up in 2017 and that he wanted to do something different, possibly before the deal was up. He wasn't exactly saying he was leaving, which is why they made it a tongue in cheek joke last night of him retiring. He also stated that he wanted to commentate more games, which is something that he will do on the 29th of November. Doesn't sound as if he's completely sure, but if he did leave it would hurt the show a lot!

Oh ok, when I turned on TNT last night it looked like they were giving him a going away party and I was kind of sad and thought he made that decision because he hated working with shaq
