Shaq tries to sabotage Charles Barkley's new Instagram

Charles Barkley is new to Instagram. Shaquille O'Neal is already trying to get him in trouble there.

In the guise of helping his "Inside The NBA" co-host with his social media, O'Neal encouraged Barkley to hashtag "#OnlyFans" in all of the photos of himself. That's a reference to the adults-only platform that provides a different kind of viewing experience.

Sir Charles had no idea what Shaq was talking about, asking "So only fans of mine?" to clarify. 

Thankfully, Kenny Smith stepped in, telling Barkley, "Don't listen to him!" While Smith refrained from describing the exact nature of the site, he told the Chuckster, "That's a site that you do not want to be on."

Barkley's embrace of social media after resisting for so many years may prove to be a dangerous experiment. Especially when he asked for help in learning how to "slide into DMs."

Host Adam Lefkoe had the best advice for Barkley and really, for anyone using Instagram.

"When you like something," Lefkoe explained, "Other people can see it. So just be careful."
