Barkley said, “Remember when we gave Shaq the (water) gun?

After seeing the video three times, Shaq kept insisting on seeing it again, all the while cackling so hard that he was struggling to catch his breath. The 4x champions could not stop laughing. And this is not even the first time Shaq has found entertainment in Charles Barkley’s suffering.
