Shaq and Charles Barkley (jokingly?) bet millions of dollars on Inside the NBA
During Tuesday night’s Inside the NBA, Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley casually made one of the most eye-popping bets you’ll ever see on live television.
A discussion about coach Kenny Atkinson and the soaring Cleveland Cavaliers very quickly turned to Shaq and Barkley betting two million dollars on whether or not the Cavs would beat the Golden State Warriors
Those two teams have already played this year, with Cleveland victorious. They play again on Dec. 30.
Oh yes, two million dollars. Later on in the show, the bet went up to five million, with Shaq pulling out stacks of prop money to further illustrate that he meant business.
We’re not sure if Shaq and Barkley are actually wagering such an unreal amount of money or if this is just a bit, but it’s always possible it’s legit!
"If you were a real man make it 5 million!"
The stakes are increasing tonight in Studio J. From $2 million to $5 million https://t.co/YShwbhwRmH pic.twitter.com/dBDAa8z18S
