Just like his unapologetic demeanor on the basketball court, Charles Barkley often speaks out his mind without thinking twice. He’s known for making brutally honest assessments on the show NBA on TNT. His habit of spewing venom from his mouth did not sit well with one of the famous television presenters who invited Barkley to his show and threatened to ‘annihilate’ him. Barkley’s cohost Shaquille O’Neal was seen giving a rather hilarious response to the threat posed to Charles.

Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley since retiring from the league have featured on the show NBA on TNT for many years now. Having played ball for several decades themselves they are known for giving out astute insights regarding basketball. Recently as Barkley got threatened by a renowned host on national television, Shaq was seen chiming in giving a hilarious response to the situation.

Shaquille O’Neal begs a TV presenter to make his wish come true

Charles Barkley on several occasions has made himself clear that he does not admire Skip Bayless. Bayless has been the main presenter of the show ‘Undisputed’ for years now. It did not sit with Skip when he came to know that the 1993 MVP called him a “damn idiot”. Taking matters into his own hands he invited Barkley to his show in order to lock horns with him.

Bayless, who’s been heavily critical of LeBron James said, “Charles, come be this damn idiot’s debate partner. Please let me annihilate you on a daily basis. Let me make barbecue chicken out of you.”

It’s quite evident that the 71-year-old is confident in his debating skills as he’s pretty sure of the fact that he can put down Barkley in a heated war of words. Shaquille O’Neal wrote on his social media handle, “@skipbaylessshow please take charles barkley away, you would love him”. 

The Big Diesel made it clear that he wouldn’t mind if Barkley departs NBA on TNT to join hands with Bayless on ‘Undisputed’.

The mutual hatred between the 76ers legend and Skip is thanks to when Barkley went down hard on Bayless a few months back.
