Shaq the new comer on TNT’s Inside the NBA while still trying to find where he fits in the flow went to the bread and butter when the show drags; rip on Charles Barkley for a few laughs.
On last Thursday’s episode Shaq decided to bring up the 2007 All Star weekend when Charles and referee Dick Bavetta embraced in a kiss after racing the length of the court.
Effectively Shaq not only clowned Chuck, but also issued a challenge. Anyone that got a tattoo of the picture of the kiss, he would give them one thousand dollars.
So, 3 days later according to Ball Don’t Lie Emmet Bentley went and got Sir Charles and Bavetta tattooed on his lower leg. Now in the world of twitter, this tattoo is tame compared to the girl who got the rapper Drakes’ name on her forehead. Nonetheless, I have to wonder, is that’s all it takes to get someone to do something ridiculous?
Now let’s see if Shaq holds his end of the bargain and becomes the ‘Big ATM’ and gives dude the money. If not, Emmet is going to have an ever harder time explaining his tattoo than Chris Sims and Kyle Shanahan.
