Chuck and Shaq are big men known for their big takes. The Phoenix Suns legend and the 4-time NBA champion have time and again brought their humor to the TNT floor. Joined by the 2-time NFL champion Patrick Mahomes, Shaquille O’Neal recently made a blunder on live television as his friend and rival, Charles Barkley took the liberty to roast Shaq for his “brain fart.”

In addition to football, Mahomes enjoys his time on the golf course. At this year’s Capital One’s The Match, the organizers kicked it up a notch by signing Patrick Mahomes and his Kansas City Chiefs teammate, Travis Kelce, for one of the most awaited golf games of the year.

Although the announcement is already making waves in basketball circles, it seems the news hasn’t made its way to the Los Angeles Lakers legend. Shaq had a brain fart as he thought Mahomes was competing against Barkley in the upcoming golf game. The 2000 MVP shared, “Patrick, this is Shaq, I know you are going to come home with the trophy. I don’t even play golf and I beat Charles Barkley about four or five years ago. I know you got a new coach and a new swing but trust me you got nothing to worry about.”
