Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley are known for the endless banter they indulge in on Inside The NBA. The two legends of the game have been on the show for a long time now, and they have a unique rapport. Many fans wonder if they actually have some issues with one another, but there are perhaps no two people in sports media that are as good friends as Shaq and Chuck.
Recently on Inside The NBA, Shaquille O’Neal shared a snippet from his documentary. Shaq has led a colorful life and one that has involved infidelity, as he admitted after the Ime Udoka scandal. The clip he shared was about the same thing, and it was quite heartfelt.

“Being the dumba** rich, spoilt man, I messed it up. I wasn’t programmed to have a relationship. And then when you move to LA, times 10. And then when I get to Miami, times 20. The things that happened, the things that were bad, it was all because of me.”
This is a very deep and vulnerable thing for O’Neal to have shared, and it takes a big man to do that. Understandably, his crewmates asked him why he thought he needed to share it at this point. Shaq was honest about it, saying he wanted people to understand where he comes from. And it led to a lovely moment between him and Charles Barkley.
Charles Barkley Comforted Shaquille O’Neal With A Wholesome Message
It takes a lot for people to admit their faults, especially when they are as prominent as Shaq. And Charles Barkley wanted O’Neal to remember that he is still an amazing individual.
“So, me and Shaq have known each other for a long time. His mom’s one of the greatest people. And my mom’s great and Ms. Martha’s great. But people, we have so much fun on this show… I tell people, you are, first of all, we all make mistakes. But you are one of the most genuine people, one of the most fun people I’ve ever been around. Obviously, the basketball stuff goes without saying, you one of the greatest to ever do it… You’ve had an amazing life and I’m glad to share it with you.”
This led to Shaquille O’Neal walking over and giving Charles Barkley a hug in what is one of the most wholesome moments fans will see in a long time. It’s lovely to see the genuine appreciation both men have for one another, and hopefully, fans will get to benefit from watching their camaraderie for a long time to come.
