Charles Barkley set to lose $65 million a year after $620 billion Saudi backed LIV Golf make him stay with Shaquille O’Neal

When Charles Barkley’s mockery of fellow TNT panelist Shaquille O’Neal goes horribly wrong live on air

Shaquille O’Neal vs Charles Barkley was a match that was always meant for television.

During their NBA days, having these two match up against each other resulted in some wildly explosive games. However, no matter how good their duels in the NBA were, they still fail to even hold a candle to their live squabbles on the set of TNT’s Inside the NBA.

These two will go at each other for absolutely anything. Who was the better player, who got carried the most…, and sometimes even who eats more donuts (it’s definitely Charles Barkley, right?)

However, there are some moments that even trump the sheer quality of their usual fights, one of which we have right here for you today.

So, without further ado, let’s get into it, shall we?

Charles Barkley hilariously trash talks Shaquille O’Neal for his reading ability, before bumbling himself

During one occasion a few years ago, the Inside crew was asked to promote a certain show.

Shaquille O’Neal was asked to read the promotion off a teleprompter.

That’s about it, really. Shaq did a relatively good job of showcasing his reading ability. But, Chuck seemed to have a problem with it. And then… well take a look at the YouTube clip below.

Brilliance. Utter brilliance.

That is all we have to say.
