NBA legend Shaq has a message for Charles Barkley after being named an honorary FBI agent

NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal was named an honorary FBI Special Agent by FBI Director Kash Patel on Thursday. The ceremony took place during the graduation of Session 299 of the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia. O'Neal used his speech to jokingly tell the graduating class to arrest his longtime Inside the NBA co-host, Charles Barkley.

The honorary title is ceremonial and does not grant O'Neal investigative authority or sworn status. However, O'Neal has a long history of supporting law enforcement, having previously served as a reserve officer in Los Angeles and Miami Beach, and as an honorary U.S. Deputy Marshal.
