Charles Barkley hilariously roasts both Shaquille O'Neal and Skip Bayless with a single line
Charles Barkley has a love-hate relationship with Shaquille O'Neal on television. Barkley also hates Skip Bayless and wants to beat him up. He managed to roast both O'Neal and Bayless with a single line on "Inside the NBA."
After the latest edition of "Shaqtin-A-Fool" was presented, Barkley complimented Shaq for including his mother, Lucille O'Neal, in his commercials.
"You know how much your mom means to me," Barkley said. "I just want to say between the Papa John's and The General, putting her in commercials is really awesome."
"She loves you," O'Neal replied. "I don't."
However, Barkley had the final word on Shaq by taking a shot at Skip Bayless.
"Trust me," Barkley said. "I'm just like Shannon (Sharpe). I know how it is to work with someone you hate."
What was Charles Barkley alluding to?
Charles Barkley taking a shot at Skip Bayless is not surprising. Barkley passionately hates Bayless, but what was he alluding to on Inside the NBA? It was likely Bayless' controversial tweet about Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin, who suffered a cardiac arrest on Monday during a game.
The tweet was the reason why Shannon Sharpe missed Tuesday's episode of Undisputed. Sharpe returned on Wednesday and immediately had a confrontation with his co-host. He discussed the tweet and hoped that Bayless would take it down.
However, Bayless rudely interrupted Sharpe's monologue and proclaimed that he's not deleting anything. The NFL Hall of Famer looked upset and went on to call out Bayless.
"I didn't want yesterday to get into a situation where Damar Hamlin was the issue," Sharpe said. "We should have been talking about him, and not get into your tweet. That's what I was gonna do. But you can't even let me finish my opening monologue without you interrupting."
Unc Shannon sharpe was explaining why he wasn’t on undisputed yesterday & this man Skip bayless gonna interrupt him when Shannon tells him to take down the tweet of damar Hamlin 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ twitter.com/i/web/status/1… https://t.co/hQQK0njiQZ
