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

Screengrab via TNT



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.
