1999 SHAQUILLE O’NEAL SIGNED FIGHT W/ CHARLES BARKLEY FULL TICKET PSA 9💎AUTO 10

Description: HIGHEST GRADED POP1 EXTREMELY RARE INFAMOUS SHAQ VS SIR CHARLES FIGHT 6’6″ Charles Barkley and 7’1″Shaquille O’Neal resolved their spat in 1999 with help from unexpected parties In 1999, Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley had a nasty fight on the court, which had to be settled by their moms When one thinks of dominant players in the NBA, they often imagine Shaquille O’Neal. The 7’1, 325-lbs big man truly knew how to make his opponents squeal and run away from himself. However, there was one person who wasn’t intimidated by his big size at all. The 6’6 Round Mound of Rebound, Charles Barkley. We know of them right now as two TNT analysts who love to pull pranks on each other and always get into silly quarrels. However, this is nothing new. Before they did it in the TNT studios, their quarrels hit the NBA floors. The two men have faced each other off 19 times in their NBA career, with Shaq holding an 11-8 edge. He also has a 3-1 advantage when it comes to their playoff matchups. In 1999, a quarrel between the 7’1 big and the 6’6 forward got so intense, unexpected parties had to come in and solve the matter. Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal’s moms had to step in and squash the beef In 1999, the Los Angeles Lakers were visiting the Houston Rockets. The game was very intense, and tensions were high. During a possession, Shaq blocked Chuck’s shot, which Barkley felt was a foul, but there was none called. Mad at the decision, and at Shaq, Chuck threw the ball at Shaq’s head. This led to an intense brawl. “I pride myself on being a quick thinker. We got tangled up. I pushed him. He pushed me. I said, ‘Well, there 20,000 people here. I can’t let him do that (expletive) and get away with it. They gonna break up the thing quickly. So, I hit him, and we went at it. “But, I was thinking really fast on my feet. I was saying, “I ain’t gonna fight that big ole dude. Not unless I got something in my hand or I can get to something. … I grabbed him so he couldn’t throw hands quickly. Some times you just have to fight.” Charles Barkley then described who disciplined the two of them: their moms. “They both called in the locker room after the game and cursed us out. And, we went out to dinner that night.” Despite all their fights, the two men are really close, and have a strong bond. I guess it’s a good thing both their mothers interfered when they did, or else Inside the NBA wouldn’t have been the same as it is. Charles Barkley on throwing ball at Shaq in 1999 and starting an in-game fight: “It was an NBA fight, so we fought like girls” "I wasn’t going to let him embarrass me in front of 18,000 people." Since 2012, Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley have been coworkers on Turner Sports’ Inside The NBA, and they’ve had some on-set disagreements. But those haven’t escalated into a physical fight, unlike what happened between the two when Barkley’s Houston Rockets faced Shaq’s Los Angeles Lakers in a November 10, 1999 game. Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson spoke to Barkley about that in a Scoop B Radio clip published Sunday, which also includes the footage of Shaq riling up Barkley, Barkley throwing the ball at his head and Shaq responding with a punch: Barkley plays down the seriousness of that fight in his comments to Robinson, though, commenting that he didn’t say anything to Shaq before the fight started, and that it wasn’t all that much of a fight. “I also didn’t think that was going to turn into a fight. But first of all, it was an NBA fight, so we fought like girls and it didn’t last very long. But I wasn’t going to let him embarrass me in front of 18,000 people. So you have to fight at some point, but I’m glad nobody got hurt because he’s a great friend and I enjoy working with him.” In a Basketball Society article on this, Robinson also found some quotes from O’Neal from back around the fight: “He was doing all that wild monkey [stuff], throwing [elbows], acting crazy,” O’Neal said back then. “I think that was a tactic to get me out of the game, and it worked. I’ll probably have to be a little smarter next time, just wait to get him back later.” It’s funny to see that clip and hear those comments in the context of the two being studio colleagues for so long now. And their arguments now tend to be a little less physical, even if Barkley did threaten to “throw one of these chicken wings at your fat ass” back in 2017 (after Shaq threatened to punch him in the face, so the throw/punch relationship’s still defined the same way!). But hey, it’s a good thing their NBA fights don’t turn physical any more. You wouldn’t want the NBA on TNT set to have to deal with “a po-lice presence.” 1999 SHAQUILLE O’NEAL SIGNED FIGHT W/ CHARLES BARKLEY FULL TICKET PSA 9 MINT PSA/DNA GEM-MINT 10 AUTOGRAPH
