All-Star Weekend in the NBA is when players get a rest from their demanding schedules of games and practices for a fun relaxing weekend. Prior to this year's skills challenges, Shaquille O'Neal has added to his list of memorable pre-show moments, as he interviewed a baby before Saturday's activities. Somehow, and we know this is tough to believe, the Big Aristotle had a tough time getting the young one to chirp back.

There are just too many things going on in this 30-second clip, but Charles Barkley claiming the baby would be calling Shaw "ugly" if he were able to speak stands out above the rest.
Of course, at some point, it sinks in just how massive Shaq is while holding this precious little child. Uncle Shaq's hands are almost the size of the entire baby. Good thing the 7-1 analyst doesn't handle babies the same way he handles basketball rims.
