Shaq Loses It When Charles Barkley Talks About ‘Banging’ on TNT

During a recent podcast interview, Shaq was quick to hilariously throw some more shade at Charles Barkley when asked a question about co-hosts

Thank goodness for Charles Barkley for always keeping things entertaining.

If you play basketball, you probably have come across the term “Banging.” It’s a common term used to describe physical play, especially in the post. Charles Barkley used the term during halftime of the Golden State Warriors, Denver Nuggets game on TNT to discuss the defense Nikola Jokic was dealing with.

Let the comedy ensue.

Twitter reacted to all the banging:

Barkley tried to be mature and said, “come on,” but it was over. Shaq and Kenny Smith totally lost it and Ernie Johnson like usual had to save face.

Just another scene you won’t see on any other studio show.

What a crew.
