In a recent segment of NBA on TNT, basketball legends Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley entertained fans with their playful banter, trading light-hearted jabs about each other’s weight. The hilarious exchange took place during halftime of the game between the New Orleans Pelicans and the OKC Thunder.
As the trio of Kenny “The Jet” Smith, Charles Barkley, and Shaquille O’Neal took over for their halftime analysis, the conversation quickly shifted to a playful weight comparison between O’Neal and Barkley.
O’Neal cheekily remarked, “I’m lighter than you,” to which Barkley promptly replied, “No, you are not. You ain’t lighter than me, fata**.”
This isn’t the first time the dynamic duo has engaged in playful banter on the show. Their on-screen chemistry and witty exchanges have become a staple of NBA on TNT, contributing significantly to the show’s popularity.
In a past interview, Barkley shared a humorous anecdote about his love for Krispy Kreme doughnuts, revealing that he once ordered a dozen and spread them out over three meals.
“I broke it up into three meals. It was one Sunday morning, and I said, ‘I just want some Krispy Kreme.’ So, I ordered a dozen, and I says, ‘Imma break it up into three meals.’ That’s all I ate the whole day,” Barkley recalled.
He went on to describe his disciplined doughnut consumption, saying, “I had some restraint. I ate some about 9 o’clock in the morning, I ate some about 2 o’clock in the afternoon, and I ate about 7 o’clock at night. It was a great meal day. “I am proud of that. I could have eaten them all in one sitting. Cause I told you, boy, when that hot sign is on, your car is just going into that little hot sign. That hot sign is dangerous.”
Producers of NBA on TNT once made Barkley’s birthday extra special by gifting him a staggering 53 boxes of doughnuts to commemorate his jersey number.
As the NBA playoffs progress, fans can expect more entertaining exchanges between the two former MVPs. Their playful jabs and infectious laughter continue to captivate audiences and add a unique flair to the show’s halftime analysis.
Shaq and Barkley’s comedic chemistry is undeniably one of the highlights of the NBA on TNT. Their ability to keep things light-hearted while offering insightful basketball analysis sets them apart. This latest exchange, although playful, underscores the genuine camaraderie between the two NBA legends. As fans eagerly await the next instalment of their banter, one thing’s for sure – Shaq and Barkley will continue to bring the fun to NBA on TNT.
