Charles Barkley’s reaction to finding out he once lost a NBA game by 52 points was too good

The fantastic “NBA on TNT” crew was back doing their thing Tuesday night and once again they had a priceless moment that involved Charles Barkley… and a great Larry Johnson reference by Shaquille O’Neal.

Ernie Johnson went around the table listing the worst losses suffered by Kenny Smith, Shaquille O’Neal, and Barkley during their NBA careers. This all stemmed from the Clippers losing by 52 points on Sunday and the Bucks beating the Heat by 47 points Tuesday night.
