"How Low I Gotta Go to Find Shaquille O'Neal?": Charles Barkley Mercilessly Roasts Shaq About the One Blemish on His Career

Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal are both greats of the NBA. Yes, that isn’t exactly news, and we’re sure reading it hasn’t shined the light of enlightenment on you just yet. However, it is important to mention for the subject matter we’re about to dive into, in case anyone had any doubts.

Both these players had some of the performances of their lives in the playoffs. But, while Shaquille O’Neal has 4 whole rings to show for it, 3 of them coming as part of a dominant three-peat with the Lakers, Charles Barkley has nothing… or does he?

You see, Jimmy Butler’s recent insane showing in game 4 against the Bucks brought up a list of the highest-scoring performances in playoff history. And let’s just say, Charles Barkley massively enjoyed his leg up over a fellow employee.

 

Charles Barkley vehemently trolls Shaquille O’Neal for being on a certain list Shaquille O’Neal was left out of

Shaquille O’Neal was unquestionably the most dominant player in the NBA. And as you’d expect, that resulted in some high-scoring games during the postseason. Yet, as it turns out, he didn’t even do close to as well as Charles Barkley in that regard. And recently, the Chuckster let him know all about it.

Charles Barkley: “How low I gotta go to find (Shaquille O’Neal) Shaq?

Ernie Johnson: “Keep going!”

To be fair to Shaq, this seemed like the perfect opportunity to bring up Chuck’s lack of rings as opposed to his own. However, it appears that the man seems to be improving, growing up even. Who knows, maybe that’s what hip replacement does to you.

 

What was Shaquille O’Neal’s highest-scoring playoff game?

Shaquille O’Neal’s highest-scoring playoff game is a bit surprising. You see, as unbelievable as it is, the man never had a single 50-point game in the postseason. No, his highest point total during the most important time of the year was 46. Unquestionably amazing. But given his reputation, unquestionably leaves you desiring just a little more.
