Life isn’t a flat circle. It’s a round ball.

Recently, Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley sat down with Bleacher Report to audition for Season 3 of “True Detective,” and it looks like HBO may have just found their new stars. In the audition, the TNT NBA analysts put a basketball twist on the drama and clearly demonstrate how they won their roles in “Kazaam” and “Space Jam.”

So take that for what you will.
