Yeah, I watched the whole thing. And here's the video for anyone who missed it:Ernie brought up the topic and threw it first to Chuck. Ernie framed it, and clearly wanted to talk about, failure in a larger sense and how to frame it and deal with it. Chuck gave a very strong answer and talked about how he couldn’t think of himself as a failure because of how far he had come from growing up poor in Alabama to what he was now. He brought up Shaq only winning 4 championships in his 20 years but that he was still a success
They then go to Shaq who says how he came from a military background, defines failure, then says yes every year I didn’t win a championship was a failure.
It was such a stark contrast to what Chuck said and what they were clearly trying to talk about that it was jarring. Ernie then threw it to Kenny and I think it was kind of decided that Shaq shouldn’t contribute anymore.
BTW, I do think the Bucks season was a failure this year but there’s much more nuance and layers to it than what Shaq said…which isn’t surprising because as you said, Shaqs contributions and insight are basically nil
