Apparently the crew of Inside the NBA flipped the script on Anthony Miracola and forced him to shoot three-point shots even though he did not want to.

Anthony Miracola is a Guinness world record holder. The holder of the title ‘World’s Greatest Shooter’ was talking about his experience with the Inside the NBA on TNT crew during a 3-point shooting contest held on the show a few years back.
Anthony Miracola was on the Gil’s Arena show. While talking to Gilbert Arenas and the other hosts, Miracola was asked about his experience on the Inside the NBA show. Miracola said:
You guys don't have to kiss my a** man, and I don't have to kiss your a**. We can have mutual respect. You don't have to humiliate me and ruin my life...
Miracola was on the show to showcase his shooting prowess against the crew. When the challenges were drawn, Miracola was to against Kenny Smith in a best-of-three, 3-point contest. Miracola had earlier mentioned to them that it is difficult for him to shoot three-pointers in their studio as he uses a high arc for his shots. The studio height made it difficult for him to score on any of his attempts. Smith however drained all three.
Miracola says that he told the Inside the NBA crew of Shaquille O’Neal, Charles Barkley, Smith, and Ernie Johnson that he was not comfortable shooting threes in their low-ceiling studio. He added that they all agreed that it would be a free-throw contest. Miracola says that the crew decided to flip the script on him as the show went on.
According to Miracola, the crew made him feel as if he was not good enough. He says, just because they were NBA players with several accolades, they did not want to make themselves look bad in front of an amateur. Miracola did speak out against the crew. But even now as per him, they contradict his points with the video of that day.
Anthony Miracola vs. three NBA stars including Shaquille O’Neal
Anthony Miracola holds the records for most free throws in a minute, 3-pointers in a minute as well as in three minutes. Miracola has won a few $100,000 competitions showing off his shooting skills. Often regarded as the ‘World’s Greatest Shooter’, Miracola has a total of 7 Guinness World Records under his name.
These accomplishments are what led to him being invited to the show. Miracola mentions that had the crew not flipped the script, it might not have affected his livelihood. According to Miracola, the crew were laughing and joking the whole time and even shut down the low ceiling problem as an excuse.
It seems the whole ordeal has left Miracola with a bad taste in his mouth. Hopefully, he leaves it behind and keeps going at more records.
