TNT's Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley had "one of their tenser exchanges" during last night's NBA studio coverage, with host Ernie Johnson "wondering how things got 'so personal.'" After Celtics-Cavaliers Game 4, O’Neal "reminded Barkley that he had only made one, losing appearance in the NBA Finals, whereas Shaq’s career produced four championship rings." Barkley "shot back" that at least he "wasn’t 'riding' on the 'coattails' of Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade ." O’Neal: "Everyone knows you’re a bum ... People question why you’re in the Hall of Fame" ( WASHINGTON POST, 5/24 ).
