Shaquille O’Neal tried to force feed Charles Barkley lettuce on Monday, and it was as funny as it sounds.

The “NBA on TNT” crew pranked Barkley, in honor of Earth Day, by raining salad from above. Shaq then took matters into his rather large hands and tried to force the former Auburn basketball star to eat it.

“Hey Chuck, it’s Earth Day, so some field greens and kale for you,” Ernie Johnson said.

Barkley laughed, saying kale is “not even a real thing” and called it “overpriced lettuce.”

The shenanigans took place a day after Barkley called Shaq fat, and things went off the rails from there.
