Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley Honor Their Idols Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe With Waggish Shoutout

It is hardly a secret that Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal are starting to become iconic on NBA television for their hilarious yet regular fights on air. Of course, it must be mentioned that it often isn’t serious whatsoever.

And here are the hilarious scenes that came out of it.
