Candace Parker Schooled Shaq on Modern Basketball During NBA on TNT Segment

Can you Dig it?? Candance Parker surely can. Shaquille O’Neal played in the NBA in a different era, and he’s become the old man yelling to get off his lawn. Now there’s some fresh perspective out there, with some NBA fans calling on TNT to bring the WNBA star on as a full time analyst. Candace got in a debate with Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal on how teams should defend Nuggets big man Nikola Jokić.

Shaq is an all-time great, but basketball has changed since his era.

I’m just here to say that @Candace_Parker is the best doing it. Period. Sure she’s my best friend. Sure that could mean I have bias. But I don’t. This isn’t bias. It’s just facts. Bball IQ is like 140 (normal IQ is closer to only like 110 😂😜) https://t.co/QLHdHM6724

Candace Parker is not here for the play-play. She’s here to explain basketball and she’s kicking ass doing it. Shaq better step his game up. pic.twitter.com/JkVzojiWY0

Candace should be a full timer when the current crew starts to retire. She’s been so good this entire season. https://t.co/iNGzDFgrQ4

Catching up on this from last night…

Whatever Turner is paying Candace Parker is not enough.

Y’all gonna believe me when I say women basketball players are among the sharpest and smartest basketball minds. But y’all not ready for that. 🤐🤐🤐 https://t.co/sww9mBWeXE

Might be time for a different look for the NBA on TNT crew. Why not add Candace as the fifth starter?

Shaq, Charles, Kenny and Ernie know their stuff, but Candace really knows her stuff.

Make it happen Turner Sports.
