"I Love Shaquille O'Neal, Man!": Charles Barkley's Speech on Christmas Day Will Having You Bawling Like a Toddler

Shaquille O’Neal has been great in more than one way. Of course, you have his all-time great basketball career that many can only dream of matching. But then, there’s his career as a businessman too since the end of his career, something that has taken his net worth to $400 million.

However, what makes Shaquille O’Neal most endearing to fans is his heart. The man’s insistence on sharing his blessings with every single human being on the planet is unparalleled. And admittedly, it makes it very, very hard for anyone to dislike him.

But, that doesn’t matter to Charles Barkley, right? After all, the man has gotten into so many arguments with Shaq that it’s obvious the man hates him.

Or does he?

Charles Barkley admitted how he truly felt about Shaquille O’Neal during this past Christmas

This past Christmas was a big one for Shaquille O’Neal. After all, it came in the middle of the ‘Shaq’ documentary’s release, which meant that it came out in the primetime period of the holiday season.

Of course, anything that O’Neal does practically promotes itself. But still, Inside the NBA decided to give a helping hand to the big man, which in turn resulted in this tear-jerking speech.

Take a gander at the YouTube clip below.

Seeing two old heads who are famous for bickering constantly, hug each other like that is beautiful.

It’s enough to make a grown man cry.

The ‘SHAQ’ trailer

Shaquille O’Neal has had a storied life filled to the brim with every kind of drama. So, a documentary on the man was always going to be a good idea.

However, as if that wasn’t enticing enough, the trailer for the show came out magnificently.

You can take a look at it right here.

Given that Rotten Tomatoes has given this show a 4.6/5, there are just far too many reasons to watch the show.

And we highly recommend you do.
