The NBA All-Star game is in Salt Lake City, Utah this season, featuring some of the league’s best and former best for a week on skills competitions and a Team Giannis vs. Team LeBron game.
Shaquille O’Neal, who is there with NBA on TNT, prompted the Salt Lake City crowd to sing “Happy Birthday” for former Auburn star Charles Barkley, who turns 60 Monday.
It was quite the scene:

It seems the Utah Jazz bear mascot gave Chuck some hotdogs and donuts for his birthday, as well. One thing is certain: let’s keep Shaq’s singing on live television to a minimum.
