At 54 years of age, Hall of Famer and TNT analyst Charles Barkley had his first ever churro on Sunday, and promptly apologized for saying that San Antonio was full of “big women” during March Madness.

Naturally, Barkley was delighted with his experience and that was enough for co-panelist Shaquille O'Neal to spit his water out in laughter.

“I had churros last night,” said an enlightened Barkley. “I see what all the excitement is about.”

“I had churros last night… woooo! [gestures taking a bite of one] they're just that damn good, Ernie. Them churros are the bomb!”

If it wasn't enough for the Round Mound of Rebound to have a thing for Krispy Kreme donuts, now add yet another sugary treat to his list of favorites.

Twitter naturally had its fun with the opinionated panelist upon hearing of his new distinct discovery.
