JaVale McGee of the Golden State Warriors publicly made it known before the season began, he’s not a fan of Shaqtin’ a Fool, a segment on Inside the NBA, and he wants to be off the show. He says the show portrays him in a negative light and fans think he’s dumb.
He voiced his displeasure about how much the segment on TNT features him and instead of making fun of him, why not do something to promote players in a positive light. Even a teammate said that the show portrays JaVale in a negative light. McGee wanted to rid himself of the program.
The man behind Shaqtin’ a Fool, Shaquille O’Neal, started to lean in that direction. He said he would give JaVale a chance to rid himself of Shaqtin’ a Fool forever but that opportunity ultimately was squandered.
So with McGee no longer safe from the ‘Shaqtin’ wrath and Shaq having a national audience in his hands, he made the most out of the opportunity. It all started with a segment on ‘Inside the NBA’ where Shaq clowned JaVale McGee, once again.
