WATCH: Shaquille O’Neal Promises to Remove Clothes if Charles Barkley Rightly Spells ‘Precautionary’ on Inside the NBA

The NBA on TNT is the most appreciated basketball analysis show. With Shaquille O’Neal, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Ernie Johnson Jr. hosting NBA on TNT, not only do basketball enthusiasts get valuable insights, but are also assured some high-level entertainment.

On today’s TNT halftime show, as expected, the Inside the NBA hosts’ antics left everyone laughing.

During a discussion on the ongoing Milwaukee Bucks-Chicago Bulls contest, Shaq promised to take off his clothes over a silly challenge he made with Sir Charles.

Shaquille O’Neal vows to take off clothes if Charles Barkley can correctly spell “precautionary”

On today’s episode, the NBA on TNT crew was discussing the implications of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s wrist injury. While further elaborating on what to expect from the Bucks in the aftermath of this injury, Barkley slipped the word ‘precautionary’ in his argument. This left O’Neal fascinated by his co-worker’s articulate vocabulary. Cutting off Ernie, the former Lakers legend asked Chuck to spell the same.

Further, the 7-footer promised to take off his clothes, if Barkley could correctly spell.

“If you spell precautionary I’ll take my clothes off right now,” O’Neal said.

Barkley, unsurprisingly, misspelled the word.

Chuck started with, “P-E-R…”

As soon as Kenny and Johnson made him aware of being incorrect, the Round Mound of Rebound had an excuse ready.

“I know, I want to get it wrong. I don’t want to see him (Shaq) naked.”

Here, have a look at the clip.

We do not know whether Chuck Master misspelled the word on purpose or not. However, it did serve as a blessing in disguise… there is absolutely no way that anybody would want to see a half-naked Shaq on live TV.

This is not the first instance of banter between the two. Chuck and Shaquille O’Neal have been going back and forth since the Big Diesel joined the NBA on TNT crew back in 2011. Their back and forth has become a staple of the show.

Sometimes, the two can take it even farther than just simple banter. They have been known to chase each other, pull pranks on each other, and challenge each other. Fortunately for the fans, watching two legends act like children on national TV is the greatest form of entertainment the NBA could offer.

NBA Twitter reaction to Shaq and Chuck’s silly challenge

As soon as the clip went viral on social media, NBA Twitter blew up with reactions.
