Charles Barkley is new to social media, but he has some of the best mentors in business to teach him about the internet. Now, with an impressive 219k fan following on Instagram, Barkley is more interested in his profile and wants to improve slowly. So who can help the Philadelphia 76ers icon with it? Obviously, Shaquille O’Neal, who has 34 million followers on Instagram. However, considering Shaq’s notorious side, there is a good chance he might put Barkley into big trouble. Oh, let’s not forget the Big Diesel’s hilarious “OnlyFans” request! 

Charles Barkley was given a lot of tips on live television by the Los Angeles Lakers icon and Kenny Smith at times. Well, the guidance is not just on the screen. Barkley shared an Instagram story, where he was listening to Shaq’s lessons about Instagram. Paying close attention to Shaq’s words, it sounded like O’Neal was teaching the Chuckster how to send a message on DM. However, let’s hope that the 2000 MVP doesn’t fool Barkley into tagging OnlyFans. 

Last week on TNT, when Barkley revealed that he had joined social media, Shaq tried to pull his leg by asking him to tag OnlyFans on all his posts. Innocent Barkley thought it meant something special for his basketball fans. Sadly, that’s nowhere close. Shaq is capable of pulling it off once again. However, let’s hope not!

Also, Barkley, who has hated social media almost all his life, was given lessons on live TV last week, which threw light on his knowledge about the internet. The first thing that Barkley was questioned for on TNT was if he knew how to slide into someone’s DMs. Kenny Smith hilariously imitated the 1993 MVP last week, “Instagram is for fools and social media is for dumba****, people living in their basement”. Anyhow, he has joined it at last, and surprisingly he has some knowledge about sliding into DMs.

When asked what that famous phrase meant, Barkley said, “When you try to get somebody a message.” The TNT crew gave him a round of applause for his honest attempt. However, Kenny Smith does not want Barkley to do it. The Rockets legend said, “That’s the worst possible thing you can do in your position.” He was further asked if he knew how to add a story, but Barkley was unaware of it.
