Shaquille O'Neal compares Wembanyama to Bol Bol and Charles Barkley can't believe it

Shaquille O'Neal compared San Antonio Spurs French phenom Victor Wembanyama to Phoenix Suns player Bol Bol during TNT's halftime coverage of San Antonio's close win over Phoenix.

This sparked a debate between Shaq and Charles Barkley who couldn't believe the comparison.

Reggie Miller, TNT analyst commented that Wembanyama is a never-before-seen prospect to which O'Neal responded, "Yeah, his name is Bol Bol." Which generated astonishment from Barkley.

Barkley responded with the only comparative quality he could see; "What, are they both black or something?"

"Wembanyama is much more consistent in Bol Bol. Wembanyama is much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much more consistent than Bol Bol Bol," O'Neal retorted.

Wembanyama has impressed in flashes even though he is clearly still adjusting to the rigors of the NBA. In the win over Phoenix he scored 18 points, eight rebounds, four blocks and one assist.
