The “NBA on TNT” crew was back on the air Thursday night, which gave them the chance to react to Wednesday’s blockbuster trade that saw the Rockets send James Harden to the Nets for a few players and a ton of picks.
Shaquille O’Neal immediately went in on Harden, saying that the guard didn’t tell the truth when he said he gave the city of Houston all he had. Shaq then broke down all the things the organization did for Harden to try to give him a championship team and then Shaq broke down the bad games Harden had when seasons were on the line.
And he finished all of that by saying that Harden and the Nets have to win a championship this season or the year will be a bust:
Watch this:
