Shaq Basically Rubbed His Ring In Charles Barkley's Face Last Night And I'm Pretty Sure We Are About A Week Away From A Fight

Previously in the Shaq vs. Barkley feud from the last week or so

Shaq tells Barkley he doesn’t know anything about going back to back (which is true):

Barkley tells Shaq he’s a shitty fighter (also probably true):

So the sideshow that has broken out from LeBron’s “I need help/playmakers” comments is the battle between Shaq and the Chuck Wagon. Just two alphas chirping at each other whenever they have the chance. And both have great stances. Shaq indeed has a bunch of rings and was one of the most dominant players in the history of basketball. He’s bigger and more successful than the guy he is chirping at. But he also probably left a few rings on the court/buffet stand.

And Sir Charles was no slouch either. He was a fat, undersized power forward that made himself into an MVP and a rebounding champion. He is legit funny and one of the best counterpunchers of insults the world has ever heard. He never won a ring, forgets that he became a ring chaser later in his career, and now is the old guy that constantly complains about today’s game.

All in all I guess this is fun for now. Shaq is basically the worst person on the planet to listen to, so him zinging Barkley is better than tuning him out mumbling nonsense. And Barkley is best when he’s angry and talking shit. But I either need them to fight or to fuck, because if Inside The NBA becomes Shaq talking about his rings and Barkley roasting Shaq about whatever, it’s going to wear thin QUICK.

That being said, Ernie and Kenny Smith are having the time of their lives listening to these two assholes yell at each other.
