Inside the NBA analyst Charles Barkley criticized fellow analyst Shaquille O’Neal as the NFL superstars competed in a game of golf.

Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal have to be the funniest duo on television. The two are regularly seen together on Inside the NBA.

And although the show is about basketball, it has gained unlimited popularity due to the hilarious banter between Shaq and Chuck. In fact, the best moments on Inside the NBA have to be when the two roast each other.

In one of those instances, though not in the iconic Inside the NBA, Charles Barkley took a dig at Shaq.

Charles Barkley called Shaquille O’Neal an idiot

In June of this year, Tom Brady teamed up with Aaron Rodgers for Capital One’s The Match. The two NFL superstars took on Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen.

The four quarterbacks met in the exhibition and Brady and Rodgers won the game. Chuck, interestingly enough, was the commentator during the game.

Barkley, while commenting, stated that the only reason Golf was fun was because Shaq wasn’t there. He also called the Lakers legend an idiot.

Fellow commenters called out Chuck for his comments. They reminded him that it was a beautiful day and that he didn’t need to bring Shaq into the middle.

Chuck responded by reminding them that it was a beautiful day because Shaquille O’Neal was not present.

Shaq and Chuck have been known to indulge in such pranks.

The dynamic the two share is like no other. The back and forth between them has become a signature for Inside the NBA.

To be fair to Diesel, he’s not always on the receiving end of the roast. Believe it or not, it’s Chuck who gets roasted most often. During the All-Star Game in February, both Chuck and O’Neal received the NBA’s 75th Anniversary jackets.

But O’Neal wasn’t too impressed that Chuck was also on the list. He then mocked Chuck by claiming that the NBA had given him the jacket out of sympathy.
