Watch Shaq Threaten to Punch Charles Barkley in the Face on Live TV
“You want to mess around, Chuck? You got not idea what you’re talking about because you’ve only been to the Finals once.”
Though the NBA Playoffs have been a bit of a snooze this year, keeping things entertaining are former Lakers center/Hall-of-Famer Shaquille O’Neal and 1993’s MVP Charles Barkley. After Tuesday night’s come-from-behind Game 4 victory by the Cleveland Cavaliers over the Boston Celtics, TNT’s postgame featured an entertaining spat between Shaq and Barkley. These two NBA legends have gone at it plenty of times before, but the tension got thicker when Shaq threatened bodily harm to Barkley. It all started when Shaq questioned Barkley’s credentials stating, “You want to mess around, Chuck? You got not idea what you’re talking about because you’ve only been to the [NBA] Finals once.” To which Barkley replied, “I wasn’t riding around on Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade’s coattails.” From there, even more entertaining lines were dropped. Watch the full interaction above.
In the past, Shaq has even called out Lonzo Ball for his $495 USD signature sneaker.
