Shaquille O’Neal never leaves a chance to pull Charles Barkley’s leg

O’Neal, in conversation with Nischelle Turner and Spice Adams, recounted another hilarious Chuckster story. Prompting the two about the story, Shaq laid into Barkley. On a recent episode of?Inside The NBA, the crew was reading fan mail.

Jenny Tuls, one of the fans, had sent in a message for the crew to read aloud. Chuckster, ever aloof, read it aloud along with her name. However, a direct continuation of course made the name sound like genatalia. Shaq, ever observant for anything to pull Barkley’s leg, asked him to repeat the name.

Shaq further continued, revealing how he was the only one to notice. But, upon prodding, everyone in the room knew and Ernie Johnson even had “tears in his eyes“. With Barkley being ever famous for his name goof-ups, it might just be a matter of time before we see a repeat of this performance.
