Only Charles Barkley gets to call his NBA on TNT co-host fat.
Don't talk bad about Shaquille O'Neal (This rule apparently applies to people of all ages)

The show's cast responded to Isaiah Thomas' kids (adorably) learning about Kobe Bryant's retirement from their dad, news which produced a bit of confusion for one of the Cavs' guards young children because Bryant isn't "fat" like … Shaquille O'Neal.
Despite the fact that Thomas' kids are maybe the cutest people ever and they are, well, kids, Barkley (jokingly we're sure) threatened to punch them for making fun of his fellow analyst.
As for O'Neal?
"I have a four-pack," he proudly retorted after he also threatened to punch Thomas' children.
