Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley, radiate an irresistible bromance that captivates viewers on their TV show on TNT. Former NBA legends in their own right, they’ve seamlessly transitioned from dominating the court to dominating the screen, fostering a genuine and enduring bond beyond the basketball court.
An hilarious throwback video from 2021 is surfacing, igniting a frenzy across the internet. This captivating video features Shaq and Barkley in their usual banter, until Charles stirs the pot, by goading Shaq into a high-stakes bet that adds an extra layer of excitement to their dynamic duo.
The bet was about the 2021 NFL Super Bowl that occurred between NFL GOAT Tom Brady, and most likely successor, Patrick Mahomes’ respective teams. But before Barkley had set the amount of the bet, he had made a statement that the legendary LA Lakers center, Shaquille O’Neal responded sarcastically. He said:
I’m from the hood I don’t know what that means.
Fast forward to the future, Barkley found himself on the losing end of the bet as a Tom Brady-led Tampa Bay Buccaneers trounced Patrick Mahomes’ Chief 31-9. When reminded about the money he owes, he jokingly declared that he’s keeping Big Shaq’s money in escrow.
