Well that got uncomfortable awfully fast.
Shaquille O'Neal really doesn't appreciate getting interrupted during "Inside the NBA," leading to quite the memorable war of words with Charles Barkley during Tuesday's telecast following the Cleveland Cavaliers' Game 4 win.
After being made fun of for only having made the NBA Finals once in his Hall-of-Fame career, Barkley responded by saying Shaq only advanced as many times as he did because he was riding Kobe Bryant's and Dwyane Wade's coattails. He even tossed the names of Alonzo Mourning and Rick Fox out there for good measure.
This isn't the first time "The Big Aristotle" and "Sir Charles" have yapped at each other like this, and it certainly won't be the last.
