The closeness between Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal is evident to all as they are known to playfully tease and make fun of each other.
Their latest display of bromance took place during the charity golf event, The Match by Capital One. It featured a crossover between the LPGA and PGA Tour.
During Capital One’s “The Match,” Chuck’s co-host introduced the German term “Nilpferd.” Upon discovering its translation to Nile Hippopotamus, he reacted without hesitation and said:
I know a hippopotamus; he works on TNT on Thursday nights.
The 2024 edition of the tournament became the first mixed-gender event, with all proceeds donated to the youth development organization “First Tee.” LPGA stars Lexi Thompson and Rose Zhang joined PGA Tour counterparts Rory McIlroy and Max Homa in teeing off for charity. The event followed a 12-hole ‘skins’ format, with McIlroy emerging as the victor by raising the most funds.
The light-hearted jest from Chuck directed at Shaq might just ignite a lively and entertaining exchange between these two basketball icons. It wouldn’t come as a surprise if Shaq responds with a witty comeback of his own, setting the stage for a playful and amusing banter between the pair.

Dennis Rodman, renowned for his defensive prowess in the NBA for over two decades, was highlighted for his unorthodox hygiene habits by Shaquille O’Neal on “The Big Podcast with Shaq.” Despite his unconventional approach to cleanliness, Rodman’s remarkable ability to secure rebounds, even while emitting an unpleasant odor, was noted.

Dennis Rodman’s romantic escapades have been widely known throughout his career. During his peak, he was romantically linked with iconic figures such as Madonna, and he even had a short-lived marriage to actress and model Carmen Electra.
