Charles Barkley said something nice about Shaquille O’Neal at halftime of the Milwaukee Bucks vs. Atlanta Hawks game, though. Of course, he followed it up with an insult.
“The first time I saw Shaq in person, I said man – No. 1, he ugly,” Barkley said. “But to see a dude that big, that strong. Same thing with Giannis, LeBron is like that. Just freak of natures. But this dude here man, when he’s aggressive and running to the basket, he’s tough to stop.”

Shaquille O’Neal called out a number of Lakers players for how they celebrated their title win during a recent episode of his podcast. The former Laker didn’t name any names but felt like a number of players shouldn’t be celebrating their championship too much if they didn’t contribute much on the court.
The four-time NBA champion made it clear that he was talking about Dwight Howard when he mocked Howard’s inspirational speech on Instagram Live after the Lakers franchise won its 17th NBA Title. While imitating Howard, Shaq interrupted himself and said, “Shut yo a** up, you ain’t do nothing.”
