NBA on TNT has to be one of the most entertaining shows over the years in the game. With ace commentators such as Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith, Shaquille O’Neal, and Charles Barkley sitting on the seat, almost every episode becomes a blast for NBA fans.

Although the show is known for its fun banter and take on the game, the recent episode was an exception. It is no secret that Shaq and Chuck share great chemistry, and the recent episode proved it when a sentimental Chuck opened up about the special bond between his and Shaq’s mothers.

When talking about their playing days, the two even had many feuds between them throughout the time they spent in court, with a competitive spirit going against each other. Despite everything, Shaq and Barkley have forged a strong friendship that can be seen clearly.

In one episode, when the crew was discussing a few facts about Shaq’s documentary on HBO, Barkley brought up his special bond with the basketball star. Besides them, he also mentioned how close their mothers are.

Bringing up their mothers’ friendship and vacations together can sometimes rack up big bills for Barkley. In his response, he mentioned that he had to point out to his mother that he does not make as much money as Shaq. “Mom, I don’t have that Shaquille O’Neal-type money,” Chuck explained.
