Shaq Pulled a Draymond Green and Put Charles Barkley in a Chokehold, and NBA Fans Loved It

Draymond Green Shaquille O’Neal Charles Barkley NBA Chuck Jaden McDaniels Klay Thompson

Tuesday night’s Timberwolves-Warriors game got off to a very violent start, with Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, and Jaden McDaniels all getting ejected after a brawl broke out before the first point of the night was even scored.

The lasting image from the melee had to be Green getting Minnesota’s Rudy Gobert in a chokehold while trying to pull him away from the pack. It was just a wild scene.

Thankfully, the legendary Inside the NBA crew was on the air after the game and Shaquille O’Neal had some fun with the fight by putting Charles Barkley in a chokehold in the middle of a segment.

No two people can be more unserious when something catches the league’s attention.
