When you're Shaquille O'Neal, you can pretty much do whatever the heck you want.

Wearing pants to work? Optional.

The former NBA superstar walked onto the set of "NBA on TNT" on Thursday night claiming that Charles Barkley had stolen his pants, and until they were returned Shaq was refusing to wear any other pair.

It wasn't just a TV stunt, either. Kenny Smith caught Shaq behind-the-scenes and off the air ... still without pants.
