Charles Barkley was targeted with yet another prank on the “NBA on TNT” set on Tuesday … this time, the Hall of Famer was victim to a Halloween-themed smoke attack!!
The Chuckster was at his usual spot on the desk alongside Shaquille O’Neal, Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson as he weighed in on the New York Knicks … when out of nowhere, his area started to fill with fog.
Barkley’s analysis was quickly derailed … and he looked puzzled as he started to choke.
“Y’all trying to kill me, man,” Barkley joked.
“I’ve already dodged some bullets, literally, today. Now y’all got me out here — can’t even breathe.”
Johnson made a quick quip … saying he thought Shaq might’ve opened up a new hookah bar. The Jet followed up … adding, “I thought Snoop [Dogg] was in the house.”

“It’s hard to talk when I can’t breathe,” Barkley said. “Damn, quit smoking me, y’all.”
Smith and Johnson pointed the finger at Shaq for the prank … who couldn’t have look more suspicious, but he denied bringing the culprit.
Luckily, Chuck survived the latest act of tomfoolery … and eventually, the guys got back to talking hoop.
Happy Halloween ๐!
