A video montage posted by Bleacher Report showed NBA legends Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley wrestling in TNT's Studio J in Atlanta.

The compilation highlights the iconic Inside the NBA tandem's love-hate relationship as Bleach Report captioned: 'Shaq and Chuck are always going at it,' with a laughing-crying emoji.

The six-minute reel included a clip of the pair tussling as O'Neal struggled to get Barkley to the ground. After seconds of holding each other in a clinch and spinning, the four-time title-winning center knocked his colleague off balance before laying on top of him for a pin count.

'Hope they don't split up,' a user wrote, citing the hilarious moments Barkley and O'Neal provided fans over the years.

The comment also references the expiration of Turner's TV rights deal with the NBA at the end of the 2024-2025 season - which could end O'Neal and Barkley's work relationship.

Besides their playful physical interactions, the montage also included their heated verbal arguments.

'You don't wanna mess around Chuck,' O'Neal says in one clip. 'You have no idea what you're talking about because you've only been to the finals once.'

'I wasn't riding Dwyane Wade and Kobe's coattail,' The Round Mound of Rebound responded.

'People question why you're in the Hall of Fame anyway,' O'Neal joked. 'Bum.'

TNT recently capitalized on their unique relationship in a promo for their NBA playoff coverage. In the commercial, O'Neal and Barkley attended couples therapy with Julius Erving as their therapist.

The promo ended with O'Neal and Barkley doing a trust-fall exercise, in which the former center fell forward onto a glass table.
