    Shaquille O'Neal Roasts Charles Barkley For Dallas Complaint Before NBA Playoffs Game 3

    By Grant Young,

    Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals just tipped off.

    And the Dallas Mavericks have got to be feeling good about their chances right now. After taking the first two games of this series on the road, Dallas is now able to play in front of their home fans on Sunday.

    Which also means that all aspects of this NBA Playoffs series — including the iconic NBA on TNT broadcast team — are in Dallas, as well.

    And one member of TNT's broadcast crew isn't used to the Dallas heat.

    During pregame coverage, Charles Barkley complained about Dallas by saying, "It’s hot as hell down here in Dallas, Texas. It is smoking hot, y'all."

    "It wasn't that hot," Shaquille O'Neal replied.

    "I walk every day to get peace and quiet by myself, I aborted today," Barkley then said.

    To which Shaq replied, “You walked to get what? Pizza and quiet?!”

    Barkley didn't understand his meaning at first, so Shaq had to reiterate. Although even after he did so, Barkley still didn't seem to understand the joke.

    We have a feeling this roast will be returned to at some point tonight.
