NBA legends Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal recently discussed the altercation between Nikola Jokic and Markieff Morris during a game between the Denver Nuggets and the Miami Heat. The incident occurred when Morris delivered a hard foul on Jokic, leading to Jokic retaliating with a blindside shoulder bump that knocked Morris to the floor.

Barkley and O'Neal shared their thoughts on the incident during a segment on the Inside the NBA show.

They both agreed that Morris should not have turned his back on Jokic after the initial foul. According to Barkley, "You can't hit somebody and then turn your back because that's a coward move." O'Neal echoed this sentiment, stating that players should be prepared for potential retaliation if they initiate physical contact.
