Even after retiring from the NBA, Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley have been in touch with the game of basketball. The two have turned themselves into analysts and have been appearing for a long time on the ‘Inside The NBA’ show.
On the show, apart from providing their insights about the league, the two are known for hilarious exchanges with each other. Now, along with the two NBA legends, Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green has recently joined the crew.
Shaq made sure to welcome Green in a funny way. While doing so, he also trolled Barkley by saying he’d punch him in the face for Green. The only clause was that Green had to pay the Diesel half a million dollars.
“Dray, I’m not gonna congratulate you cuz I already thought you were a member of the team. You do a great job and we love having you there. And if you got a half a million for me, I’ll punch Chuck in his face right now.”

Previously, Barkley had called out Dray and labeled him ‘Triple-Single.’ However, later on, Chuck sorted things out with the Warriors forward. This played a role in how Green answered Shaq’s offer.
He smiled and responded to O’Neal’s offer by saying he won’t accept it but would have done so a year ago when Chuck and he had a beef ongoing. Barkley must be glad that Green rejected the offer as taking a punch from Shaq is not something that anyone would like.
The two have done a great job of making the show likable among the fans. Now adding Green to the mix, fans will be wondering what else they will come up with.
Moreover, Green has been sidelined due to injury issues, so he has a lot of free time on his hand while recovering.
Considering Green is a player who has a high IQ and is never afraid to speak his mind out, seeing him providing his expert analysis will be a great thing for fans for sure.
