From game analysis to bantering to comedy, Inside the NBA is one such show where everything happens. NBA legends Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley are the two cornerstone members of the show who attracts viewers. They can often be seen pulling each other’s legs. Recently, Sir Charles appeared frustrated by the Big Diesel’s antics and went on to give a funny warning.
Last year in October, Barkley signed a 10-year deal with TNT that fetched him nine figures. The exact amount was unknown, but he was supposed to get a minimum of $100 million that could reach up to $200 million. However, the former Philadelphia 76ers player didn’t hesitate to give the warning on the set even after signing such a huge deal.

In the latest segment of Shaqtin a Fool, Shaq, as usual, was highlighting the humorous plays that occurred over the past week. The four-time NBA champion talked about the incident where confetti rained on the hardwood that delayed Game 4 between the Boston Celtics and Atlanta Hawks at State Farm Arena on Sunday. This incident gave the crew a good laugh and Barkley received a surprise after their laughter subsided.
Still having a gentle smile on his face, the 11x All-Star suddenly looked up and saw confetti being showered on him. The showering continued for a couple of seconds and the desk in front of him was flooded with confetti. This brought a big smile to everyone’s face, and they were having fun except Barkley. Though he also had a gentle smile on his face, he had something to say. The 11x All-Star issued a funny warning by saying, “Man, I’m telling y’all something. I wouldn’t even work here if y’all didn’t pay me.”
Barkley obviously said this as a joke. However, if he ever decides to leave, it would certainly be a daunting task to find his replacement as none could probably match his sense of humor and analytical skills.
Incidentally, this wasn’t the first time when his co-hosts poke fun at him.
Barkley was roasted last year by his co-hosts for failing to ride a bicycle
Shaq was challenged to ride bicycles garaged on the set in an episode of Inside of NBA that came out last year. He rode them flawlessly and impressed his co-hosts. Following this, the Big Diesel challenged Barkley to ride those bikes. Moreover, the four-time champion even put $5000 on the line. However, after multiple attempts, the 11x All-Star was unsuccessful in riding any of those bikes. Therefore, Sir Charles lost the challenge and was eventually roasted by them.
