Black Adam, the most eagerly anticipated movie of the year, is only one day away from being released. The Dwayne Johnson fanbase indeed has high expectations, and the reviews of the special premiere confirm that it’s packed with action. Notably, the movie will undoubtedly have a large budget if Johnson is in it, and as it is one of the most anticipated films of Johnson’s career, it has received extensive marketing, being featured in the NFL season opener, the cricket T20 World Cup matches, and most recently, NBA games.

Given that the NBA season began on October 18, during Opening Night Inside The NBA, Johnson’s appearance on the show undoubtedly provided the most entertaining moments of the evening. In his special appearance, he pondered his movie sidekick and caused Shaquille O’Neal to poke fun at Charles Barkley.

In case you missed it, Johnson showed up during his appearance with questions and a desire to identify his sidekick in the video. During this, the ‘Brahma Bull‘ mocks Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith after suggesting them for the role of his sidekick.

The NBA luminaries began trading blows with one other after Dwayne Johnson’s remark

In the video, he stated, “Sometimes I think black Adam could have a sidekick. Another guy who doesn’t play by the rule, maybe Chuck. Chuck doesn’t play by the rules, he is tough, and brave, but I’m not sure if he’d be super alert, (His sleeping visuals) umm!! Black Adam and nap Adam. Kenny but, but, but there’s the butt. Black Adam and Wack Adam.”

After that hilarious segment, Chuck expressed his eagerness to see Black Adam and made fun of Smith by jokingly referring to him as ‘Wack Adam’. Shaq then joined and remarked that Chuck had the funniest line in the business and that Black Adam’s actor was spitting facts.

Smith then stepped in, criticizing Barkley and asserting that his ‘Hustle’ film was superior. He responded by saying that his film ‘Space Jam’ had received an Academy Award. Indeed, Johnson’s remark led to them exchanging gibes with one another. Meanwhile, ‘The Rock’ will be quite excited about his upcoming film, which releases worldwide tomorrow and his fans can’t wait to see he has to offer as superhero for the first time in his Hollywood career.
