The banter between NBA legends and co-hosts Shaquille O’Neal & Charles Barkley never gets old. No chance to roast each other is ever missed, even if there is a fan in their midst, sharing a heartfelt moment with the Los Angeles Lakers legend.

The crew of Inside the NBA was in attendance for ECF Game 2 between the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat. Before the tip-off took place, a Celtics fan managed to grab Shaq’s attention. But as Shaquille O’Neal was basking in his glory, he was quickly brought down by ‘The Round Mound of Rebound’.

Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley added another chapter to their friendly feud

Even at 51, Shaquille O’Neal has taken excellent care of his body and physique. So, it felt right for ‘The Big Aristotle’ to brag about it when a fan brought a blast from the past for Shaq.

Ernie Johnson told the viewers that a fan had a picture with Shaquille O’Neal from many years ago. The Celtics fan brought the picture along with her, signed by the four-time NBA champion himself. ‘The Big Diesel’ was impressed with his looks now as compared to back then.

He immediately said, “See that time travel America. I still look the same, I still look the same.” Granted that Shaq has made sure to stay in shape even post-retirement, co-host Charles Barkley seemingly begged to differ a bit.

As Ernie Johnson was discussing how old the picture was, the Philadelphia 76ers legend said, “Hey, one of y’all aged better than the other one.”

Shaquille O’Neal shared the positives of his incredible weight loss journey

Post his retirement from the NBA, Shaquille O’Neal found himself carrying extra pounds due to a shift in his lifestyle. Having been dedicated to fitness throughout his career, ‘The Big Aristotle’ had let go of his regimen and indulged in unhealthy eating habits. But one day, O’Neal resolved to embark on a transformative weight loss journey, determined to reclaim his former shape. It seemed to work wonders for him.

In a chat with PEOPLE, Shaq said, “I have more energy. I feel really good, I get to do stuff that I haven’t done. And it helps you discipline yourself much more.”

“Okay, meal one is a shake and then I’m going to go work out. Meal two will probably be little egg wraps. Meal three will be a salad and then meal four and five will be chicken and steak.” 

Despite undergoing hip surgery recently, it surely is commendable that the 51-year-old has been able to stay fit. So, it should not be a surprise to see Shaq bragging about his looks from back in the day to how he looks now.

Charles Barkley is known to push Shaq’s buttons every now and then and the latter makes sure to return the favor in kind. So, fans should be on the lookout for ‘The Big Diesel’s’ rebuttal to Barkley’s words.
