It’s going to be a treat for the NBA buffs when Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley get back on the sets of ‘Inside the NBA‘ to roast each other. In the meantime, the 4x NBA champion decided to tease the fun moments ahead of the new season in an interview with Jennifer Hudson. Charles Barkley, who was on the show previously, did a few bizarre things which Shaq decided to take complete advantage of. The 76ers legend tried his best to teach a few basketball “techniques” which turned into a joke after O’Neal made Barkley a laughing stock. 

Unexpectedly, Shaq also pulled out some dance moves, only to roast his best buddy. How did Barkley give Shaq the perfect opportunity to make him a joke, though?

Both the NBA legends have a hilarious side which comes out best on the sets of ‘Inside the NBA’. While the return of the NBA season is still a couple of weeks away, O’Neal decided to get the festivities underway during his appearance on ‘The Jennifer Hudson Show’

When the Chuckster was on the show earlier this year, the 1993 NBA MVP got a bit serious when all of a sudden he decided to teach Hudson a “rebound technique“. Barkley squatted, with his back facing Hudson, engaging in physical contact to depict the art of boxing out. As Hudson played the video to Shaq, he decided to defame Barkley.

Shaq pulled out some dance moves from the famous video song, “Da Butt” to mock Barkley’s rebounding. Surprisingly, the entire crowd started to vibe with the 51-year-old. Then came the big question, “Why did Charles put his big a** on your leg? He almost took you out,” as the audience couldn’t control their laughter. 

It was quite an amusing roast from Shaq and now Barkley will have his revenge soon when they team up for NBA on TNT. However, this wasn’t the end of Shaq and Hudson’s conversation about Chuck.

Looking straight at the camera, the Los Angeles Lakers icon added, “Charles, I hate you. When I come to work next week imma punch you right in your face.”
