Shaquille O'Neal Jokes About Barkley's Weight Loss

During a recent episode of 'Inside the NBA,' Shaquille O’Neal humorously teased his colleague Charles Barkley about his weight loss journey, particularly referencing weight loss medications. Barkley, who has lost 62 pounds using Mounjaro (a drug for Type 2 diabetes), joked about O’Neal's low-fat milk choice, prompting O’Neal to quip, 'Ozempic still looking for your ass' and to refer to himself as the 'Ozempic FBI.' The friendly banter highlighted both players' struggles with weight management since retiring from the NBA. Barkley expressed pride in his progress, stating, 'I’m starting to feel like a human being, not a fat ass anymore.' This exchange is part of their ongoing comedic back-and-forth, which has become a staple of their television appearances. Barkley's openness about his weight loss strategies has sparked discussions on the effectiveness of medications like Mounjaro compared to other weight-loss drugs.
