Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley are beloved by fans for their hilarious banter on Inside The NBA. Despite their lack of in-depth analysis compared to other basketball experts, their chemistry and funny remarks make them stand out. People appreciate their honest opinions and experiences in the sport.

Carli Lloyd, a former women's soccer star, wants to be acknowledged in the same way as Shaq and Barkley. In a recent episode of Cold As Balls, she expressed her admiration for the NBA legends and their sense of humor. She believes that her own truth and honesty should also be embraced by fans.

Unfortunately, Lloyd has received a different response from the fans.

While she is experienced in soccer and speaks passionately about her team and former teammates, her commentary has been criticized. People want her to change her way of thinking, unlike the acceptance given to Shaq and Barkley.

For instance, when Lloyd mentioned the USWNT losing to an under-15 team but still winning the World Cup, fans bashed her and the team. The same negativity follows her into her role as a soccer commentator, where she openly discusses players' performances and tactics. Fans appreciate her honesty but wish she would alter her perspective.

Carli Lloyd just wants to be embraced and supported like her NBA counterparts. She desires recognition for her achievements in soccer and hopes that fans will value her honest opinions. While she may not receive the same level of acceptance as Shaq and Barkley, she will continue to speak her truth and offer insightful commentary.

In the end, it seems that Carli Lloyd's brutal honesty may not be as well-received as she had hoped. Despite her accomplishments, fans are hesitant to fully embrace her style of commentary. However, she remains determined to provide her insights and experiences, even if it means facing criticism along the way.
