Former Los Angeles Lakers star Shaquille O’Neal seems to be missing Charles Barkley a lot amidst the coronavirus pandemic.

Shaq joined Conan O’Brien for a chat where they discussed various topics. During the interview, Conan asked Shaq whether he missed Barkley.

“I miss his a**. He has a flat a**,” Shaq hilariously said. After a laugh, he continued, “I do miss chuck. Chuck is my annoying best friend. He is friendly, he is annoying, he is loud. I miss sitting across and looking at him.”

Conan then recalled a recent conversation with Barkley where he talked a few of O’Neal’s habits. Conan said Barkley talked about how he thought O’Neal did not go to Papa Jones or IC Hot and also does not have insurance from the General.

Shaq responded saying: “The general was my first car insurance when I was in LA. (And) I do use IC Hot.” He then revealed a funny incident with IC Hot. He said that he once had it on his private parts and to make it even more hilarious, he said he poured milk on it to cure.

“And I do always need a Papa Jones,” he said.
