During Thursday (February 25) night's episode of NBA on TNT, Charles Barkley compared Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid to Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal.
Shaq, who was sitting on the opposite side of the desk from Charles, reacted by saying nothing at all. The former Lakers superstar, who has often feuded with Barkley, gave Charles a side-eye while sipping on his tea.
This comes after Shaq laughed at Max Kellerman telling Shaq that Embiid "is the closest thing in the league to you right now." In the same interview, Shaq told Embiid to keep up the good work, and he stated that he'll step aside as the "President of the Big Men Alliance" when another big man in the NBA surpasses him.
