After 18+ Comment on Live TV, 76ers Legend Was Forced to Bite His Tongue and Shaquille O?Neal Has No Shame in Reminding Him Again

Shortly after four-time champion Shaquille O’Neal retired, he joined TNT’s ?Inside the NBA’ crew. Since his joining, the banter between him and his colleagues has been incredibly fun to watch. They seem to share a strong bond consisting of respect and jest. Each member has utilized the platform and made sure to always embarrass each other. And if something is too good to be forgotten, that’s where Shaq’s sharp memory comes into play.

A recent example of the same occurred when the Los Angeles Lakers legend took to social media to troll one of his TNT co-analysts over something he said almost a year ago.

When you have a table of sharp NBA minds with incredible senses of humor, you know your show will succeed. Over the years, this combination of smart takes and stupid jokes has stolen the hearts of fans.

That’s exactly what happened in May 2022 when the four members of the TNT crew were providing a game analysis. In response to a comment that Ernie Johnson was making, Charles Barkley abruptly said “Speaking of Coming,….” but before he could finish, the other analysts burst into laughter in typical classroom fashion.

Johnson and Kenny ‘The Jet’ Smith were trying to remind Barkley that they were on live television. Meanwhile, Shaq was trying his best to hold back tears. Barkley himself couldn’t hold back his amusement over the situation and how his co-hosts interpreted it. ?That?s not what I meant. So ya?ll mind in the gutter,? Barkley barked in response.

Shaquille O’Neal decided to relive the iconic moment with his fans on Instagram. A few hours ago, the 51-year-old legend posted a reel on his story that recapped the chaos. The reel was made by @cheesedailysports, a page that specializes in sports content.

It was only a few days ago when Shaq had challenged the former 76ers legend to a golf tournament and promised to delete all the embarrassing clips of Barkley if he could beat Shaq on the turf. As you can tell, Barkley lost the match.

Barkley is no stranger to slip-ups.

The “Speaking of Coming” moment is not the first time that Charles Barkley has questionably used words in his statements.

Fans distinctly remember a moment when the former player mistook a gift that Smith had given him for a ‘vibrator’, which Smith clarified as actually being a massage gun.

It seems that teasing his fellow comrade is part of the Big Diesel’s motivation to work on TNT. He is certainly very good at it and we hope this will not be his last jab at the fellow big man.
