Charles Barkley Disgusted By Shaq Comparing Bol Bol To Wemby

Victor Wembanyama’s sensational debut in a TNT game against the Phoenix Suns sparked a heated discussion among the “Inside the NBA” crew. While the main focus was on Wembanyama facing off against basketball legend Kevin Durant, the attention quickly shifted to a comparison between Wembanyama and another Suns player.

“Have you ever seen someone like Wembanyama? Of course you have, his name is Bol Bol… Wembanyama is simply more consistent than Bol Bol,” argued Shaquille O’Neal, drawing shock from his colleagues.

“No, I disagree,” protested Charles Barkley, not willing to accept the comparison. Barkley couldn’t comprehend the assertion about Wembanyama’s consistency and expressed his disbelief by exclaiming, “He’s only played three games! Are you seriously comparing Wembanyama to Bol Bol?”

“Bol Bol is the first 7’4 guy with remarkable ball-handling skills and three-point shooting ability. Yes, we’ve seen a player like that before. Bol Bol was the first of his kind,” defended Shaq. “But he just lacks the determination to give his all on the court.”

Kenny Smith intervened, attempting to lighten the mood with a joke about Shaq’s mug. However, Barkley couldn’t let the discussion end there. He reaffirmed his earlier question to Shaq and received the same answer, sparking further debate and the mention of other players. Barkley also offered some critiques of Wembanyama’s game, using the opportunity to take a final dig at Shaq.

“Shaq made a valid point, but I strongly disagree with his comparison to Bol Bol,” Barkley concluded.

Bol Bol is currently in his first season with the Suns and has made one appearance off the bench.
