Sometimes A Horse's Ass Can Be Found On The Top Of The Horse

TNT's Slow Zoom On Mitch Kupchak's Face In The Final Minutes Of The Lakers' Season Was Sadistic
Only true Lakers believers (or the truly blind) couldn't see the Lakers' season was nearing an end long before the horn sounded on last night's 106-90 series-seizing Thunder victory. Yet it seems the moment of truth for Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak came at a time that TNT producers jumped upon for max...
Shaq beat Chuck In TNT's <em>Inside The NBA</em> Shirt-Off Thanks To Fake, Painted-On Abs
The Inside The NBA "Shirt-Off" that brought us this priceless moment of Charles Barkley handling a Shake Weight came to its conclusion last night, with Chuck and Shaq disrobing to show off their unique physiques.

Charles Barkley, Emmy Award Winner

How To Watch The NCAA Tournament At Work
The play-in games—sorry, "first round"—are halfway done, so tomorrow sees the start of the traditional and comprehensible 64-team bracket that makes up March Madness. And there's nothing more traditional than blowing off productivity to watch the tournament, four games at a time, from the relative c...
This Lil Wayne Appearance At The NBA All-Star Festivities Was Just Weird

Charles Barkley Dropped A "Jeremy 'Rin'" On-Air Last Night, But Was It On Purpose?
Despite having plenty of words by volume erupt from his lips, Sir Charles hasn't always been the most cunning linguist. (That's turrible.)

Sadly, The World Will Never Know Who Shaq "Blames For That Shit" [UPDATE]
This slip-up came at the tail end of a conversation on TNT about Twinkie-maker Hostess declaring bankruptcy, an entirely reasonable topic for a studio show previewing a night of NBA action.

In Case You Missed It, TNT Toppled A Christmas Tree Onto Shaq
After years of trashing Chris Bosh (the "RuPaul of big men" comment in 2009, the "Big Two" reference earlier this year) the chickens finally came home to roost. On TNT's postgame show last night, the crew convinced O'Neal to take the last in-studio shot of 2011—in front of a precarious Christmas t...
TNT's "NBA Forever" Season-Opening Video Is Spectacular
Most attempts at the Forrest Gump-style "modern people placed into old video" are hokey or at the very least poorly-executed, but TNT splashed the rainbow with this video that preceded the opening-day Celtics-Knicks broadcast. ...
More Leaked Shaq Emails: "We Dnt Want Them Do What They R Doing To Tiger"

Just six weeks into his retirement, Shaquille O'Neal has agreed to a multi-year deal with TNT to be a member of Inside the NBA.

The Comeback Pig: Marv Albert, And How To Survive Any Sex Scandal
This month, Marv Albert celebrated his 70th birthday and joined the NFL on CBS. He announced he would leave his gig calling Nets games for the YES Network—he wouldn't have the time.
