Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley might never have played together in the NBA, but their chemistry off the court is on point. Fans around the world eagerly wait for their banter sessions on live TV which sometimes cross the line. On a recent episode of ‘Inside the NBA’, the crew displayed the list of All-Time Top Scorers in the NBA. Chuck currently holds the 28th position on the list but that is going to change soon. And Barkley didn’t seem too pleased about it.

James Harden of the Philadelphia 76ers was the latest player to pass Chuck on the list. The former Philadelphia 76ers star seemed visibly upset about the fact, which sent Shaq into a laughing fit. Moreover, it was evident that the Los Angeles Lakers star Russell Westbrook will soon pass Barkley as well.
