NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal has played for six franchises during his legendary NBA career that spanned 20 years. It has been noted that during TNT’s coverage of the NBA on Wednesday, Shaq challenged the former Auburn star to spell “spectacular.” And he bet $10,000. It appears that Barkley’s first attempt – he needed to write it down – was off the mark. Kenny Smith took a peek at what Barkley had written down before the analyst came up with the right combination of letters to complete the task, making Shaq look real stupid as he lost the bet.
Shaquille O’ Neal and Charles Barkley had a hilarious moment
In the end Barkley appeared to get it right, although Smith claimed Barkley had originally written it down incorrectly. Claiming victory, the Hall of Famer Barkley gave props to his alma mater.
“Let me look at that camera right now,” Barkley said after passing the pop quiz. “I haven’t had that much to brag on this year, but let me go ahead and say it: War Damn Eagle.
“That Auburn education pulled me through, America.”
