Chuck almost spoiled Shaq’s verses as the big man was finishing his part. The Diesel nailed his expressions throughout the video and was on point with the beat in his lip-syncing. Undoubtedly, the former NBA superstars enjoyed this fun karaoke escapade, with Shaq posting it on his Instagram page with the caption, “The boys are back. #sayitagainchuck.” Shaq even tagged the ‘NBA on TNT’ page to let the fans know what happens behind the scenes in TNT’s Atlanta studio.
Charles Barkley freaks out over a python being brought to the set
The Inside the NBA show on TNT is incomplete without its hilarious on-screen shenanigans and bizarre scenarios. As the NBA season returned for the year, the show featured another of the crew’s misadventures, which freaked out Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal.
As the show progressed towards Ernie Johnson’s ‘Neat-o-Stat’ segment, a reptile handler walked in with a giant python. Barkley immediately tried escaping from the scene, which is when Shaq kept encouraging the handler to bring the snake to Chuck. Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson remained seated, though visibly terrified as well. On the other hand, Johnson kept repeatedly asking what kind of snake it was.

Surely, fans are eagerly awaiting to see much more from this pair as the season progresses.
