Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley are at it again even on the bubble’s NBA on TNT coverage.

The two NBA legends were in another one of their heated debates tonight on TNT and Shaq, like he always does, told Barkley that he knew better and that he was using his own championship experience to analyze tonight’s crucial game against the Portland Trail Blazers and the Brooklyn Nets.

“First of all, I speak from not (just) being a great defensive player but having championship experience. I know what the hell I’m talking about” O’Neal told Barkley.

Shaq is, after all, a 4-time NBA Champion and a 3-time NBA All-Defensive Second Team member. The Los Angeles Lakers legend was pertaining to how other members of any team should be able to step up and complement their stars. He went on to tip his hat off to a few of the more popular key players he played with in his time in both the Lakers and the Miami Heat namely Robert Horry and James Posey. And in true Chuck fashion, Barkley rebutted in one of the go-to arguments against Shaq’s multiple championship runs.

“Don’t forget about Kobe and Dwyane Wade carrying your fat a**.” Barkley said. 

This isn’t the first time Barkley is going with this response. He said the same thing in 2018 when they were arguing about Dwane Casey and former Toronto Raptors guard DeMar Derozan in which Shaq savagely responded – “Google me, Chuck.”

Unfortunately, it seems that Shaq will always end up winning this argument since he was named the NBA Finals MVP in three of his four finals appearances. But, this won’t stop Chuck from shooting his shot and poking at the fellow big guy every chance he gets.

This Shaq-Chuck relationship is really a gift that keeps on giving.
