Charles Barkley was out of control on the set of TNT’s Inside the NBA on Wednesday night, nearly leaving Shaquille O’Neal in fits.
In what was a very eventful night for the NBA, the Miami Heat shockingly won on the road to eliminate the Milwaukee Bucks from the playoffs, progress to the second round, and become just the sixth eighth seed in league history to knock off a no. 1 seed.
The Sacramento Kings went down 3-2 to the Golden State Warriors after taking a 2-0 lead earlier in the series, while the Los Angeles Lakers failed to deal with the Memphis Grizzlies, who are still alive after taking their series to 3-2 with a 116-99 win.
The New York Knicks have also moved on to the second round with a fourth win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, setting up a tie with the Heat.
The Inside crew was on hand for coverage, as they usually are. But Shaq had a difficult time coping as he struggled to contain his laughter on a few occasions.
In the clip below, the former Lakers and Heat big man is seen trying not to laugh after Barkley said “Them young boys coming” in relation to the Grizzlies, whom he reckons are going to be tough for L.A to put away.

This is hardly a first for Barkley, who claimed to be “juggling two balls” while gesturing aptly as Shaq struggled to hold it in last week.
Barkley should know better by now, having been on TV for many years since retiring as an NBA pro. Fortunately for Shaq, as well as all NBA fans, Chuck simply does not care.
