The latest Shaqtin’ A Fool with AL Horford ducking from a rebound is pretty hilarious but the funniest thing from the Inside The NBA episode after the Kyrie Irving GM4 show was Barkley telling Shaq he was going to throw a chicken wing at his fat ass.
The chicken wing threat happened after Shaq started talking about Barkley not having a ring and only going to the Finals once. Barkley responded by saying Shaq rode the coattails of Kobe and Dwyane Wade. The joke seemed to annoy Shaq, who fired back with some name-calling, saying some people question why Barkley is in the hall of fame (only an idiot would question that) and (jokingly) said he was going to punch Barkley in the face one day. Barkley then delivered the lines of the night with there’s “going to be some furniture moving” and “I’m going to throw a chicken wing at your fat ass.”
When Shaq threatened to throw a chicken wing at Barkley, Chuck hilariously took a shot at Kenny Smith: “You don’t want to get it on this cheap suit Kenny got on.”
And this would be a good time to revisit
THE 1999 FIGHT BETWEEN SHAQ & BARKLEY
When Shaq and Barkley were both ringless, the two ’90s superstars acted like they were in a wrestling ring during the first half of a game between the Lakers and Rockets. The scuffle led to Shaq’s second ejection in five games and Barkley’s first of the season.
“He did one of his Charles-like things,” Said Shaq. “He just didn’t want to play tonight. Obviously, he is frustrated with the way his team is playing. He wasn’t doing much, and his team is 0-5.”
The following is what the always hilarious Barkley told reporters was the reason why he went after Shaq:
“I can’t let him hit me and get away with it. My grandma would be mad at me if I let him get away with it. I had to defend myself.”
The funniest thing about that comment was Shaq got a call from his Mom after the game, telling him that he and Barkley need to apologize and be friends. Why? Because Shaq’s Mom was best friends with Barkley’s Mom.
The next call Shaq and Barkley received was from the league office, informing them that they were suspended for one game without pay. Shaq was also being fined $10,000 for throwing a punch, while Barkley was fined $5,000 for throwing the basketball at Shaq.
