Charles Barkley Nudges Shaquille O’Neal to Draw Inspiration From Michael Jordan’s Latest Gimmick & Destroys Chicago Bulls on Live TV
A journalist put it best – Bulls fans have turned a Ring of Honor ceremony into a punchline. Charles Barkley is adept at running with one.
He’s among the many who won’t let the franchise forget the disastrous inaugural Ring of Honor ceremony, one that was marred with boos to the late Jerry Krause and the three biggest honorees skipping the event. Chuck already slammed the unruly spectators. Now it’s the turn of the non-attendees.
He sought to enlist his TNT bestie, Shaquille O’Neal in it. ICYMI, Big Diesel is going to be the first player in Orlando Magic’s history to have his jersey retired on February 13. Chuck suggested O’Neal follow the path of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman, who didn’t show up to the Bulls gala.
“Start a new trend,” he recommended to Shaq after jokingly telling him to skip his jersey retirement ceremony. The comment came after the Chicago Bulls barely beat the Toronto Raptors 116-110. He and others think there are very few things the Bulls have to celebrate lately and they’re ruining even that. “That’s how bad the Bulls are, the best thing going for them is that Ring of Honor.”
