Either Shaq is a heck of an actor, or the big man is still ticked off at Charles Barkley.

Shaq was visibly upset and on the brink of blowing up over Barkley being a ballhog.

The way Ernie Johnson and Kenny Smith handled that whole thing was superb. This sort of thing is exactly what makes this the best show on TV, and it’s not the first time the two have gotten into it.
