Charles Barkley about Shaquille O?Neal?s bizarre belief

Kimmel also said that the ?Inside the NBA? crew has the best chemistry on TV in any show ever. So Barkley hilariously gave a shout to Ernie and Kenny, purposefully leaving out Shaq. And Kimmel had to give him a nudge to give a shout-out to the Big Diesel.?
