Shaquille O'Neal's time with Turner Sports and Inside the NBA may be coming to a close in the near future. During NBA Tip-Off, ahead of TNT's broadcast of the Minnesota Timberwolves-Golden State Warriors game, O'Neal said he was preparing to leave his colleagues in two years to become a college professor.
O'Neal was sporting an Alabama State Hornets sweater during TNT's coverage on Thursday which was a departure from his usual suits. This prompted host Ernie Johnson to ask why he was wearing the cardigan. O'Neal explained that he was going to be a professor after he graduated in two years before shouting out the HBCU, as well as the Gamma Sigma fraternity.
