Shaq came off as a giant **** here. Chuck with the "I didn't have Kobe Bryant and Dewayne Wade to carry me up and down the court" for the win.

I actually agree with Shaq's point. You don't have to get along. He proved that with Kobe although Shaq and Kobe were unreal talents by themselves. Barkley never had a guy that complimented his play like Jordan had Pippen and Shaq had Kobe and Dwayne Wade.

I agree with what Shaq was saying, in that you can't baby the players, but I don't think Barkley was saying that. They don't have to get along and be best buds, but the player at the very least has to have confidence that the coach has a plan to get them where they need to be. In that context, they have to be on the same page. I think that's where Chuck was going.

Shaq never let Chuck finish his point because he started shouting over him about his rings and finals MVPs.

I agree with Shaq that if he's not playing well, you have to sit him. I don't care if he's your "best" player or not.

It's hard to win with discontent between the star player and the coach. I get both point of their points, and if Shaq would have given Barkley and opportunity to state his, he probably would have understood a little better. I don't think CB meant to baby the players, just that there needs to be some level of confidence between the player and coach. Shaq tried to win a championship w/o the other star players and it didn't work out. CB is right, he never had that. Shaq should change his tampon.

Then I do agree with Barkley. I thought they were talking 2 best players on the team.

Shaq was a role player for the Heat when he made his Riley point.

If DeMar DeRozan is your best player

You aren't going to win anything anyway. So your relationship with him doesn't really matter. He's what? The 20th best player in the league? The Raptors are paper tigers every year. A regular season team that doesn't have the star power to get it done in the playoffs.

If Barkley had gotten to face them every year in the playoffs he'd probably have been to several finals.

He generally does. He tends to bully and disregard most of what chuck says. He’s immature at times.

Tried to post the video where Chuck throws a basketball at Shaq, Shaq throws a punch, then Chuck tackles him. I loved Barkley then and still do. He gives the most honest opinions of any sports personality.

Not sure if he was serious, but I thought Shaq's mathematical theories were on point also:

Charles Barkley is a raging douche who is walkways running his mouth off and no one calls him on it because they are scared of him. Shaw wasn’t going to listen to his BS.

If I were Sir Charles, I would end any argument with Shaq with this tidbit

Barkley's free throw percentage.......73.5%
Shaq's free throw percentage...........52.7%


Hack a Shaq was an actual defensive alignment back in his day. Rumor has it that Shaq once shattered a backboard.......with one of his free throws!!!!
