Barkley expressed skepticism about O'Neal's honorary doctorate degrees, stating, "First of all, those are honorary. Those are honorary. They don't count. All you gotta do is get somebody money. They'll give you an honorary doctorate." He emphasized that O'Neal's achievements should not be compared to academic credentials, dismissing the legitimacy of honorary degrees in the process.
O'Neal retorted, "Nothing I do is honorary. That's like saying my four championships are honorary." He defended his accomplishments and insisted that honorary degrees hold value, comparing them to his championships in sports. This sparked a lively debate about what it means to earn a title.
When asked about his studies, O'Neal asserted, "I'm in school now, fool!" and explained his pursuit of a master's degree in liberal arts. He claimed that soon he would be a world-renowned sports psychologist, challenging Barkley's skepticism about his academic efforts.
Barkley responded with, "Three years? You've been in college for 30 years! When are you gonna graduate?" This pointed interaction showcased Barkley’s humorous doubt regarding O'Neal’s long-term commitment to education, highlighting their friendly rivalry.
