Chris Bosh takes Shaq's seat on 'Inside the NBA,' then trades fart jokes
On Tuesday night, Miami Heat big man Chris Bosh joined the TNT studio crew in place of Shaquille O'Neal. While Bosh had a bit of a "Shaqtin' a Fool" moment that we'll get to in a moment, he was very good as an analyst. You can check out his comments on the Houston Rockets' convincing win over the Los Angeles Clippers here and see for yourself.
Before Bosh's appearance at halftime of the Bulls-Cavaliers game, O'Neal tweeted a warning to his replacement. Yes, it was a fart joke, because Shaq and Dwight Howard might be more similar than the Hall of Fame center would like to admit. And yes, Bosh responded.
As for that less-than-stellar moment for Bosh? There were no physical pratfalls, but one tongue-twister tied up Bosh something fierce.
But everyone makes mistakes, and Bosh should feel good about his appearance in the studio. He's got a future in the media if he wants it.
