7’1″ Shaquille O’Neal had seriously dangerous plans for horseman Charles Barkley
Shaquille O’Neal reveals what his special little plan was for Charles Barkley when he arrived on horseback
When it comes to being co-analysts on Inside the NBA, Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley couldn’t be more alike.
They are both stubborn with their opinions, not afraid to announce them, and of course they don’t mind hurting certain people’s feelings by doing so.
However, more than anything else, they are just plain fun.
Much of their comedy comes from the little fights they have while on air during the show. And hey, it’s harmless fun, why wouldn’t it be?
But, during these last few NBA playoffs, it seems like Shaq had some plans to take him to the next level. And well, let’s just say we couldn’t be happier that his plan never got off the ground.
Let us explain it.

Shaquille O’Neal had plans for Charles Barkley when he arrived in Dallas on horseback
To begin with, yes. In case you didn’t already know, Charles Barkley rode a horse during the Warriors vs Mavericks series for a game in Dallas.

Now that’s just a show in itself. But like we said, Shaq wanted to take it much, much further.
This is what he had to say on the subject, in an episode of The Great Podcast with Shaq.
“He had snipers in the crowd. I told one of my boys, when the horse passes, I want you to hit it real hard with the rock. Make the horse start bucking. He couldn’t do it.
I said, hey, as soon as Chuck walks by, you take a big rock and hit that horse right in the ass. I want to see him start to buck. If there weren’t people around, I would have made sure he did.”
For those who don’t know, bucking refers to when a horse lowers the front of its body and raises its back, suddenly kicking with its hind legs when frightened or irritated.
If this plan had been executed, there is a possibility that Chuck would be in the same position. Executed.
At the very least, serious damage would be done.
So overall, yes, thank goodness this plan never got off the ground.
