During last night’s Pacers/Hawks game, Jared Sullinger poked some fun at Charles Barkley and Shaq:

Does Shaq and chuck get paid on TNT just to argue with one another. Doesn’t matter what Shaq says. Chuck disagreeing lol

TNT aired the tweet and Barkley fired back:

And Sullinger took the high road:

When the hell is TNT going to get rid of Shaq? His “analysis” is brutal.

Oh god listening to Shaq at halftime of the Rockets game was just sad.

I was just glad TNT thought Sully was important enough to put the tweet on the air. If Barkley had really wanted to slam him, he would have gone the “I don’t know who that is or who he plays for” route.

Shaq is… not good at that job. He’s not even good at the non-analysis, messing around part because he can’t take a joke about himself, in sharp contrast to Barkley.

Shaq really is an turrrible analyst.

Shaq is a goofball, no doubt about it. But he isn’t quick-witted enough for live television.

Shaq ruined the chemistry of that show. The show was SO MUCH better with just Ernie, Chuck and Kenny.
