The Chuck vs. @SHAQ saga continues on #InsidetheNBA… 😂 pic.twitter.com/dPMXWc0XLL

Sir Charles shook Shaq during the Game 4 Eastern Conference telecast when he said Shaquille’s four rings were acquired by riding the coattails of Kobe, Wade, Alonso Mourning, and, of course, Rick Fox. Shaq then mocked a smiling Barkley for only making it to the Finals once, threatened to punch him in the face, and questioned how Charles is even in the Hall of Fame. I’m going to stop Shaq right there and remind him that Barkley is a former NBA MVP, 11-time All-Star, and 5-time NBA All-NBA First Team.
The whole exchange was gloriously awkward and in my opinion, Shaq came out of it looking like the bitter one. Chuck solidified the W by threatening to “throw one of these chicken wings at [Shaq’s] fat ass.” Laugh out loud stuff.
In any event, Shaq, possibly bitter/possibly trolling, posted a #TBT of him physically imposing his will on pour little Chucky.
Can’t these wildly successful basketball icon multi-millionaries just drop their squabble and carry on living their utopian lives.
