Shaq is a beloved character in the NBA who keeps giving us hilarious moments on the ‘NBA on TNT’. Kenny Smith however, wanted to poke the bear as they had a heated debate related to Phil Jackson, with Smith repeatedly cutting him off. Shaq finally had it when the former Houston Rockets point guard told him with a straight face that he shouldn’t be late for work. Shaq had some words for Smith, indicating he might resort to other methods if words fail to express his feelings.

“If you try to be funny on TV again, I’m gonna put these paws on you.” Shaq said holding back his fury at his co-host. O’Neal had already had a rough day as he earlier shared a video of the traffic that stalled him, as he missed the beginning of the show. It didn’t help that Shaq had co-workers who quickly pounced on his annoyance. Kenny was a little surprised and probably scared by Shaq’s threats, as anyone would be. “Hey, listen, I’m Pat Riley up here, you ain’t hitting Pat Riley. You ain’t hitting me“, Kenny said in order to diffuse the situation.

Kenny Smith has always been one to mock either one of Shaq or Charles Barkley when given a chance. While he may not have quips on the level of either one of those two nor is he as loud and quick with it, if the opportunity arises, he doesn’t back down from it. Shaq might’ve been kidding afterall, but who would argue with a 7’1 behemoth in a bad mood, certainly not Kenny Smith ! Another classic episode of “NBA on TNT’ with top-tier banter.
