Pistons respond to Shaq's on-air gaffe

Shaquille O'Neal made an on-air gaffe of epic proportions this week when he applauded Chauncey Billups, not J.B. Bickerstaff, for doing a fine job coaching the Pistons. In his defense, O'Neal said he doesn't watch Detroit's games, rendering his praise meaningless.

O'Neal wasn't done hiding his true feelings about the modern NBA. On Wednesday, he went on "The Pat McAfee Show" and gloated about only watching the games he's paid to watch as a TNT analyst. 

"I don't watch that [expletive] when I'm not working," O'Neal said when asked about the Thunder's NBA title chances. 

That's not the flex you think, Mr. O'Neal. If you're being paid to talk about the NBA, the least you can do is familiarize yourself with the 30 coaches. And even if you don't watch games night-to-night, it's best not to admit it and instead feign your passion for the league.

The Pistons are tired of Shaq's disrespect. Through a creative social media post, the franchise reminded him of the 2004 NBA Finals when his Lakers underestimated the Pistons and paid dearly.
