Shaquille O’Neal Can’t Help But Appreciate Charles Barkley’s ‘Balls’ Speech on His Instagram Story

Shaquille O’Neal loves a good time. And more often than not, it is Charles Barkley who makes all those wishes come true for him on Inside the NBA. In fact, as is a popularly known fact by now, that is one of the biggest reasons why the show is such a massive hit with the fans in the first place. Of course, all the fun can come in a multitude of ways. Most of the time, it’s just the Chuckster saying something absolutely obscene, such as his infamous rant about the women that hail from the proud city of San Antonio. However, other times, there are some slight innuendos that he drops without even knowing that he is ever doing it. And on a recent episode of Inside the NBA, he did it yet again, something Shaquille O’Neal felt he just had to share on Instagram.

Charles Barkley had a few meaty little words to use during his analysis of the Grizzlies vs Lakers series

Charles Barkley’s analysis of today’s NBA can get slighted at times. However, this is a man who was an all-time great basketball player with a very high IQ. And simply because of that, it is beyond worthwhile to get his thoughts on any given aspect of the sport, especially when it is time for the playoffs.

That said, he can often get a bit lost in the sauce, when he is explaining something. And as Shaquille O’Neal would soon highlight on his Instagram account, the man got a little bit too much sauce on his hands on this recent occasion… in more ways than one. Take a look at the Instagram post by ‘cornerthreemedia’, as well as a screenshot of Shaquille O’Neal’s story in @TonoySengupta’s tweet below.

Charles Barkley: “I’m kind of juggling two balls right here. Because on one hand…”

Ernie Johnson: “Is that what you’re doing?”

Charles Barkley: “Yeah I’m really proud of…”

At first, it may seem like Charles Barkley didn’t get the innuendo he was announcing to the world. However, he is a grown man. Of course, he soon realized the nature of his phrasing. However, it’s likely he was just sick and tired of Shaquille O’Neal after he was in splits on his side of the table. That said, we’re sure, the former NBA player will be watching his words a lot more carefully. But, as fellow enjoyers, we really hope he reconsiders.
