Have you ever wondered what Alabama native Charles Barkley, who speaks with a thick southern drawl, would sound like trying a Boston accent?
Wonder no further. Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, and Kenny Smith gave it a shot on “Inside the NBA” after the Celtics’ Game 5 win over Miami at TD Garden.
For Ernie Johnson’s “EJ’s Neat-O Stat of the Night” segment, the TNT crew tested their Boston accents against locals.
O’Neal went first. He was tasked with saying: “Shaq’s car ran out of gas in Harvard Yard.”
“Not bad,” Smith said of O’Neal’s impression.
