The NBA on TNT started with a few heated discussions after the Lakers blew out the Boston Celtics and Joel Embiid continued to sit out due to injury. Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley were debating on live television, sharing different perspectives for all their takes. Right when fans thought these heated battles couldn’t get any better, Shaq shared a hilarious update on his Instagram that put a hold on the serious talks. Well, here we have two Hall of Famers, making a reel that proves why they are the best duo on television. 

Shaq was having a dance party at the sets of Studio J. The Los Angeles Lakers legend was shaking his hips hard next to Barkley, trying his best to make him dance. Well, the Sixers icon did not move a muscle as he just stood there confused. Looks like he has not fully recovered from the hip replacement surgery. Shaq was making his best moves, sliding his fingers around Barkley’s bald head, trying his best to impersonate a club dancer. He added in the captions, “If this is what love feels like I don’t want it,” referring to the lyrics from the famous song. 

Former NBA guard Jamal Crawford couldn’t help but laugh at Shaq and Barkley, as he reacted to the former’s post in the comments. Well, it looks like Barkley is not used to all the social media trends! Shaq, on the other hand, is an expert at it.

Charles Barkley did not want to put his hips at risk

2023 was not too sweet for Barkley. In the earlier months, the 76ers legend was facing a severe problem due to his hips and he had to get a replacement surgery done for the second time. In this transformation, he lost 50 massive pounds and he believes he is not a “fat a**” anymore.

Barkley also shared that too much pressure on the hips will lead to another surgery and thus he should have controlled movements. The highest form of activity at this point is running to the big screen at Studio J for Barkley. To your surprise, Shaq also had hip replacement surgery last year in March. Anyhow, looks like all the moves in his hip-hop world tour have helped him become stronger.

Barkley even warned Shaq previously not to move his hips heavily. Clearly, the Big Diesel doesn’t care! What are your thoughts on the above story? Share your take in the comments below.
