Shaq vs. Charles Barkley Shirt off Video: Watch Loudmouths in Funny Competition
In what could be considered one of the greatest battles in the modern era, Charles Barkley squared off with Shaquille O’Neal in the worst shirt-off competition ever recorded.
With all the recent talk of weight loss by Barkley and the commercials he is doing for Weight Watchers, the good people of TNT arranged the first ever shirt-off competition between these two NBA legends.
In all honesty, I thought there was no way Sir Charles would take his shirt off on national television, but the irreverent personality is clearly proud of the weight he has lost. When Barkley took his shirt off, it was amazing to see just how many pounds he really dropped.
As much as this was meant as a joke, it’s inspirational to see Barkley (who was super fat at one point), looking better than he has since he played in the NBA.
Just when you think the fun is over, it’s Shaq’s turn to take his shirt off.
With only a few months separating this video and Shaq’s retirement, the big Aristotle should be in great shape, right?
After ripping his undershirt like Hulk Hogan, Shaq exposed the fake six-pack that makeup artists had drawn on his stomach. With a shocked look on his face, Barkley realizes he’s been had!
My favorite part of the whole video is when Shaq asks Kenny Smith to grab his stomach fat and then punks him out, only to really let him squeeze his fat. It’s the kind of train-wreck comedy that is just so naturally funny.
I’m glad to see that the TNT team really brought their comedy A-game for the playoffs.
