In a funny spoof of HBO’s “True Detective,” the two former on-court rivals and current NBA on TNT analysts audition for Season 3 of the popular show. Even Kobe Bryant makes a short cameo (game footage) as the villain with Barkley saying: “Who’s the Black Mamba?”

Enjoy!

After doing battle with one another for years in the NBA, former Laker great Shaq and Hall of Famer Barkley are arguably one of the most entertaining NBA analyst duos today.

The two NBA legends hilariously go at each other on a weekly basis while breaking down matchups on NBA on TNT along with Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson. Neither Barkley or Shaq pull any punches when taking shots at one another making the show one of the most popular amongst NBA fans.

Even though the third season of “True Detective” would never happen with these two at the helm, who is opposed to a reality show with Shaq and Barkley?
