It was a ‘do or die’ situation for the Atlanta Hawks, when they locked horns with the Boston Celtics in Game 5. The Hawks rose up to the occasion and showed their opponents that they won’t go home so easily. As the Hawks’ triumph became the talk of the town in the hoops-world, a hilarious antic pulled by one of their biggest supporters- Shaquille O’Neal, got resurfaced on live TV. Now doing rounds on the internet, Shaq’s hilarious gesture has prompted the hoops fans to mock Charles Barkley, who has historically been predicting the wrong outcome of games.

It has only been weeks since Charles Barkley lost a billion dollars to Shaquille O’Neal, after predicting that the Heat will win against the Hawks in the play-in tournament. As it turns out, the Hawks are still causing trouble for the Chuckster.

Shaquille O’Neal’s hilarious escapade resurfaces

On the back of some rib-tickling moments on Inside the NBA, Charles Barkley has created a separate fanbase. One such moment was when currency notes with Barkley’s face printed on them, rained all over Barkley and the crew. These notes called ‘chuck bucks’ took the center stage during an episode during June 2021, when Sir Charles picked the Milwaukee Bucks to win over the Atlanta Hawks in the playoff series. Shaquille O’Neal being the Hawks supporter and he is, took the ‘chuck bucks’ to the next level.

Shaquille O’Neal made Hawk wings out of the ‘chuck bucks.’ The 4x-NBA champion wore the wings and showed up in Inside the NBA. The Lakers legend could be seen running around flapping those wings and making the sound of a hawk. Besides, O’Neal once wore a beak made of ‘chuck bucks’ on live TV, when Charles Barkley predicted that the Hawks would lose.

Fans jibe at Charles Barkley after the Hawks win against the Celtics

The Hawks have famously been eliciting entirely opposite speculations from Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley. O’Neal has famously been picking the Hawks to win whenever they lock horns with another team. Barkley on the other hand has seldom picked the Hawks to win a game. Now that the Hawks have won, numerous fans rushed in on Twitter to mock Barkley.

“This why everyone loves Shaq…Love Kenny and Ernie too…You can take Barkley out to the dumpster,” said a fan.
