Charles Barkley had the most hilarious wrong answer as he teased his TNT colleague. Giannis Antetokounmpo has just achieved a major feat. The ‘Greek Freak’ added a new record that he now shares with Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal and Zion Williamson. Fans are certainly in awe, but what is the record now? If you ask Barkley, he didn’t give the right answer, but the most hilarious one for sure!

Ernie Johnson was the first one to break the news to Shaquille O’Neal about Antetokpounmpo’s record. However, before he could divulge more about the record, Johnson was interrupted by a curious Chuck. He questioned whether it was a record of how many hamburgers they ate. “Most hamburgers ate?” he chimed in as the cast burst out laughing.

Shaq loves his food, and this was yet another playful jab at the champ, as well as Williamson (also loves food) who has often been judged for his physique. Smith found Chuck’s comment hilarious, laughing uncontrollably even as O’Neal, in an effort to stop him, asked if it was really that funny. Later, Johnson even asked Shaq how many hamburgers he had eaten in one sitting.

He didn’t hide it. I had six big macs one time in one sitting…fries 20 nuggets and a diet pepsi,” O’Neal shared.

That’s quite a meal! But it’s all in the past. O’Neal prefers a much more healthy diet now. And well, hamburgers weren’t the record in case you’re wondering.

With 27 points, Antetokounmpo set a new record for hitting 20 + points and shooting at least 50% from the field for his 26th consecutive game. This was held by only O’Neal and Williamson.

Barkley's humor or Giannis' record—what's the real highlight of the night?

Have an interesting take?

O’Neal certainly didn’t look pleased, and perhaps looking for a comeback at Barkley. Chuck himself has struggled with his weight issues in the past. When he entered as a rookie, Moses Malone influenced him to take up a more healthy diet to get in shape. He suggests the same to Williamson, however, has an odd way of advising him.

Shaquille O’Neal’s sharp criticism to Zion Williamson

Williamson is probably one of the most talented players. While he is the most entertaining to watch, the New Orleans Pelicans star has been criticized for his weight issues. Many thought that he was just lazy. However, Williamson had his own struggles with the weight loss process. 

He underwent ankle surgery, and his weight issues escalated afterward. It has been difficult for him. Seeing a clip of Williamson working out before the game, Barkley had some tough words. “It look like me and Shaq had a baby,” Chuck said. Shaquille O’Neal too found it hilarious who had a hard time controlling his laughter.

Regardless, Williamson has been criticized by fans. The Philadelphia 76ers legend further stated, “I’m concerned, I am really concerned about … I tell this story, and I’m being critical, it is what it is.”

Well, Barkley knows a thing or two about weight issues from his own experience. Hinting that it could be problematic, he always advises the young players to focus on careers. Although Barkley had some tough words, the intention behind his advice was genuine!
