'Get Off His Balls' - This Leaked Footage Of Charles Barkley Mocking Shaq For 5 Minutes Is Why Inside The NBA Will Always Be The Best Show On TV

I think we just solved the NBA crisis right here. Fuck Reggie Miller, give us a mic with these guys uncensored at all times. People would tune in just to see Charles Barkley make fun of Shaq non-stop. You know he's winning when even Ernie Johnson is chiming in on his side. Ernie was always the dad of this group. He has to keep everyone in line, tell them to stop arguing and freak out when necessary. But now it's clear. Ernie is one of the boys. He knows the perfect timing to chime in with a joke about Shaq and keep egging on Charles Barkley. He's not the dad, he's the older cousin who finds it all hilarious knowing he's not getting in trouble. 

Obviously they aren't serious. They threaten to beat the shit out of each other every week, like the way an older brother does to a younger brother. But the younger brother is way bigger than the old brother. Now, I still take the older brother in any fight, just the way society works. But Shaq is a ginormous human being. 

I love the whole beginning point of this all too. Shaq being pissed his jersey retirement was on NBATV and not on TNT. The horror! Then you have the go-tos from each of the guys here. Shaq rubbing in the fact he has rings while Chuck hits him with the ring chasing. That's when Ernie chimes in. Kenny is lost, standard. He's trying to play it in the middle since he knows he's replacable in this group. It's perfect because it's honest work. Chuck even hitting Kenny with the 'get off his balls.' Just guys being dudes, except they are all rich as shit. 

We need more of this. Charles Barkley might be the most loved person in America. Throw Shaq in the mix and he just feels comfortable to say whatever he wants to get under his skin. It's perfect television.
