An under-the-weather Charles Barkley produced a hilarious moment on Tuesday night's Inside the NBA.
Barkley sounded more nasally than usual as the result of a cold, and Shaquille O’Neal wasted no time roasting his co-host’s voice. Midway through breaking down highlights of the Pelicans- Grizzlies game, Shaq broke from his normal voice into a new character: “Stuffy Chuck.” The voice, created by talking with his nose plugged, had the rest of the set in hysterics, and for good reason.
Here’s the incredible exchange.

“I hate you, man” an amused Barkley said to Shaq.
Meanwhile, the rest of the crew seemed to be looking out for their own best interests, encouraging Barkley to go home to avoid infecting anyone else.
“Go home!” Kenny Smith said. “We miss you, but we ain’t going to miss you.”
How can you not love these guys?
"I hate you, man" LMAOOO https://t.co/XWnukxspK3
