“Inside the NBA” has migrated over to ESPN, but TNT still has a few other jobs for some of that popular studio show’s hosts.

Shaquille O’Neal will serve as a judge along with other NBA greats including Vince Carter, Dwight Howard, Nate Robinson and Mac McClung, and Chris Webber on “ Dunkman ,” a six-episode reality competition program set to air across Warner Bros. Discovery’s TNT, truTV and HBO Max in December.

In “Dunkman,” 40 amateur dunkers from around the globe will compete for a $200,000 grand prize.
