After completing their impeccable careers in the NBA, Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley continue to entertain fans off the court. As television hosts for ‘Inside the NBA’, Shaq and Barkley are one of the most loved duos on TV. Putting smiles and laughs on fans’ faces, the duo was back at it again on Thursday night. The Los Angeles Lakers legend’s bet to his co-host has caught the attention of the NBA world. 

A video of Barkley’s dance moves after accepting a bet of $1,000,000 left NBA fans in splits. As the video continues to attract viewers, some hilarious reactions from fans took over the internet. This was another great example of the duo’s amazing camaraderie.

Fans love to see Shaq and the former Phoenix Suns star go back and forth with each other. Adding to the list of their hilarious moments, Barkley took the chance to entertain the show’s audience during a halftime report. Shaq, who placed an exorbitant amount of money on Barkley, witnessed him complete the bet. Though Shaq believed Chuck did not do it properly, fans seem to have a different perspective.

The 4x NBA Champion challenged Barkley to imitate rapper MC Hammer’s dance moves on set. MC Hammer is widely known for his eye-catching dance moves in his video songs. Shaq said, “I’ll give you $1M to bust an MC Hammer move right now,” throwing a bet toward Chuck. Barkley wasted no time as he replied, “Does he do this here?” and went on to flex his dance moves imitating the American Rapper. 

Barkley felt confident after his moves, as he replied to Shaq, “You owe me a million”. Co-host Ernie Johnson’s comments, “I’m looking at anybody but that” triggered Chuck to do his dance one more time. While Shaq could not resist laughing, Ernie and Kenny Smith did not bother to turn back to look at Barkley’s dance.

Shaq added, “That’s gonna be a new dance on TikTok. Watch!“, unable to control his laughter. Further, Smith and Johnson joined Shaq to roast Barkley after he started to sweat.

While the hosts made fun of Barkley, fans came to the defense of the 11x All-Star. However, some fans couldn’t help but laugh at his moves. Here are some of the fans’ reactions on Twitter supporting and trolling Charles Barkley:
