Shaq cuts short Inside the NBA segment to ‘prove co-stars wrong’ and earns standing ovation in TNT studio
FATHER Shaq has not yet been overtaken by time.
Shaq demonstrated that his basketball skills haven’t yet diminished in an interview with NBA pros.
Fans were laughing uncontrollably during Tuesday night’s episode of Inside the NBA, which is still funny.
The episode focused on Charles Barkley’s suggestion that Shaq’s playing days were influenced by Hakeem Olajuwon.
In the end, Shaq got up from his desk to make a point to his fellow hosts.
Shaq rose from his chair, removed his blazer, and picked up a basketball before making his way to a tiny court.

Showing his co-hosts that he was still capable of dunk a basketball was his first priority.
At least one of the costars was worried about Shaq’s safety as he approached the edge.
Kenny Smith remarked, “Shaq, you’re going to hurt yourself, man.”
“A seven-footer can no longer even dunk. Take a look at yourself.
But Shaq got liftoff and dunk in the basket to immediately silence his co-stars.
After the dunk, he yelled, “Are you not entertained?”
Smith gave the dunk a standing ovation, and following the effort, Ernie Smith shook Shaq’s hand.
The Tuesday edition was a huge hit with NBA fans, who praised Shaq and crew on social media.
One fan remarked, “Best. NBA show. Ever,”
“@NBAonTNT is better than the actual @NBA games,” another fan commented.
“These 4 are gold together,” remarked a third fan.
