‘Put your glasses back on!’: Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley mock Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless on Inside the NBA after their viral argument over Tom Brady sent social media wild
Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal centered this week’s Inside the NBA comedy act around a heated debate on a rival network’s sports program.
While discussing the Milwaukee Bucks vs. Golden State Warriors on TNT, Barkley and O’Neal trolled the spat between Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless which took place on FS1’s Undisputed Monday morning.
The charade began when O’Neal told Barkley ‘I will smack you right now’, during their halftime coverage.Â

Kenny Smith jokingly interjected, saying ‘we’re heading into Black History month.’ The often-quarrelling pair then got into their Bayless-Sharpe routine.Â
Barkley played the role of NFL Hall of Famer, Sharpe, putting his glasses on before taking them off, screaming ‘insult me again.’
O’Neal replied ‘put your glasses back on, Chuck,’ while smirking – the same quote used by Bayless a day prior. ‘That’s what you do! Every time you insult me!,’ Barkley said laughing hysterically.Â

Sharpe took over his glasses Monday during the debate show after becoming incensed with Bayless amid an explosive discussion surrounding Tom Brady.
‘This man is playing at a high level at 45 when you had to stop at 35,’ Bayless said.
Sharpe, enraged, replied:Â ‘That’s what you do! Every time I call something into question, I get it.’
Barkley is a longtime adversary of Bayless and has often expressed his disdain for the polarizing commentator.Â

In 2013 – while on NBA on TNT – Barkley said: ‘If I could get Skip Bayless in a room, you’d need DNA to find out who he was.’
On separate occasions, speaking on The Dan Patrick Show, the NBA cult figure has remarked ‘I hate Skip Bayless more than any person in the world.’
In one appearance, Barkley went as far as to suggest he would ‘kill [Bayless] live on national television’ if he had some form of incurable disease.
