Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton continues to turn heads and grab the spotlight from plenty of people and national talking TV heads. This is what happens when you take over the starting lineup spot from Al Horford and also drill a game-winning 3-pointer inside the bubble.
On TNT, former Sixers legend Charles Barkley and the rest of the famed “Inside The NBA” crew were in the middle of discussing the big injury to All-Star Ben Simmons. While going down their roster, Barkley came up with a new nickname for Milton.
Barkley was mentioning Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris and when he got to Milton, it appeared he forgot his name and referred to the young man as “Lil Milkshake”.

As long as Milton continues to step up and make plays, then it will not matter what he is called. Barkley may have started a new trend for Milton now. In this world of social media trends, maybe “Lil Milkshake” will become a thing. [lawrence-related id=36317,36307,36290]
