Shaq and Chuck are former NBA players, working as NBA analysts on TNT’s Inside the NBA. They’re widely popular for their playful banter, humor, and wit. Their fun and lighthearted dynamic was once again on display when O’Neal came face to face with a giant fish. And of course, he was quick to throw shade at Barkley.

Upon his encounter with the intriguing fish, he just couldn’t resist but poke fun at his former rival and now friend, Charles Barkley.

Shaquille O’Neal said, “Its name is Charles Barkley?” The man handling the Koi jokingly responds, ” No, no, no. Shakoi O’Neal.”

The Big Diesel didn’t think twice before making fun of the 1993 MVP. They later put the Yamabuki Koi in Shaq’s pond. One would have never thought the basketball great might be a fish fanatic let alone that of a Koi fish. Koi fish is one of the most sought-after fish breeds in the world. It’s no surprise that the four-time champion has such expensive and impeccable taste for marine life.
