DALLAS, Texas– Shaquille O’Neal, the former NBA star and longtime analyst on Inside the NBA, is considering relocating full-time to North Texas as the show prepares to shift networks from TNT to ESPN and ABC next season.
O’Neal said he’s “75% sure” about making the move to the Dallas-Fort Worth area, citing personal appeal, lifestyle, and business opportunities in the region.
The relocation consideration coincides with the high-profile transition of Inside the NBA, which will retain its analyst team — O’Neal, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Ernie Johnson — despite moving networks. O’Neal emphasized that the show’s format and chemistry will remain intact.
If finalized, the move would mark a new chapter in O’Neal’s post-playing career, reinforcing his presence in both sports media and entrepreneurship.
