Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley just love messing with each other. The proof of it can be found in almost every interaction of the duo that has been recorded on camera. And given the people they are, this part of them likely continues to stand even when the cameras are off.

Over the years, the two have been a major reason behind TNT’s ‘Inside the NBA’ becoming the fans’ favorite show. So of course, other shows would be itching to have some of that for themselves too.
And on one occasion the Steve Harvey Show got it, something he certainly made the most of.
Shaquille O’Neal vs Charles Barkley got yet another installment on the Steve Harvey show
Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley may love arguing with each other, but they also love playing some games. And during their time on the Steve Harvey show, they were asked to partake in perhaps the most fun one on television, ‘Family Feud’.
In case you may not know the rules, there will be a set of two teams looking to answer a common question asked by Steve Harvey.
There will be multiple acceptable answers with a higher number of points awarded based on how high up they are on the board. Their rankings are decided by how many audience members gave it as their own answer in a survey conducted before the game.
Shaq and Chuck evidently knew about these rules. And while struggling with them while on air, they stumbled upon a rather hilarious moment.
Of course, Charles Barkley was always going to troll Shaq for his answer whether he got it or not. But as if that wasn’t enough, Steve Harvey’s remark right after makes this moment all the funnier.
Charles Barkley once impersonated Shaquille O’Neal too
Setting the duo’s differences aside for a minute, the two do seem to have a lot in common.
They’re both former NBA players, funny, stubborn, love to have fun, and are very successful. That right there is enough to be the basis of a friendship that lasts a lifetime.
And in that spirit, Charles Barkley once decided to go the extra mile, and do his best impression of his 7’1” teammate.
Absolutely brilliant.
That’s all you can really say.
