Charles Barkley is just 4 years away from becoming a senior citizen! Or is he already moving like one? Jokes apart, the Philadelphia 76ers legend turned 61 today, and ‘Inside the NBA’ is dishing out tribute videos on social media to celebrate the Chuckster’s special day. Anyhow, nothing might beat what Shaquille O’Neal managed to pull off for his TNT buddy. While many would find this surprising, the Los Angeles Lakers legend just brought out his much-known goofy side as a gift for Barkley.  

Ernie Johnson stated, “I am pleased to announce Chuckster that Shaquille O’Neal has gotten you a very nice and a personal early birthday present”. Suddenly, the screen switched to a huge gift box out of which the 7ft giant popped out, screaming, “Hey, Happy Birthday”. Well, that was quite a jump scare. The Big Diesel pulled out some electrifying dance moves, holding balloons, and also wore a shirt that read, “Happy Birthday Chuck!”.

The funniest part was where after the end of Shaq’s tribute, Barkley kept his hands on his forehead in denial. A fan showcased this moment in the comments of TNT’s tweet, which has cracked up many. Clearly, Chuck is not too happy with Shaq’s gift for him. But this was not the case in one of Shaq’s previous gifts. 

Barkley’s love for food is never-ending. In fact, in the above video, you could see that Barkley was turning around to check if someone was bringing him a nice snack to eat. Well, this was because of Shaq’s jaw-dropping gift from a few years ago. 

Charles Barkley got a lifetime deal from Shaq for his 56th birthday 

To celebrate the Sixers icon’s love for golf, the TNT crew gifted him a stunning golf cake, which had a huge ball on top of it. Barkley was in awe, as he couldn’t believe someone managed to make a cake out of a golf ball. Well, then came Shaq’s ‘Krispy Kreme’ box, which was the cherry on the icing. 

On top of this, Shaq told Barkley that he could get free donuts for the rest of his life. The Lakers champion, who is an owner of the famous donut brand, decided to give his TNT buddy a sweet gesture. You could clearly see that Barkley was confused as to which one he must eat first.
