Following the Dallas Mavericks’ victory over the Los Angeles Clippers, NBA legends Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal unleashed their frustration in a lighthearted skit on the NBA on TNT show, taking playful jabs at Kendrick Perkins.

Barkley donned punching gloves and delivered blows to a punching bag adorned with Perkins’ photo, humorously missing a tooth. Meanwhile, O’Neal, enjoying some junk food, joined in the fun, using a plastic gun to playfully strike the photo.

The entertaining routine continued as Barkley and O’Neal exchanged banter, with Shaq eventually taking his turn to deliver two hard punches to the bag before theatrically tossing it to the floor.

Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal make an excellent podcast duo

Beyond their on-screen antics, Barkley and O’Neal are celebrated for their dynamic chemistry and humor, often appearing together on podcasts where they playfully tease each other about their respective NBA careers.

Shaq’s infamous free throw shooting is a recurring topic of jest, even extending to his cameo appearance in the movie “SAW.”

In response to the playful skit, Kendrick Perkins took to social media to join in the fun, issuing a good-humored challenge to Barkley. His post on X (formerly known as Twitter) playfully taunted Barkley, suggesting that he wasn’t ready to face Perkins in a humorous exchange.
