If you get caught online making a mistake as a member of Inside The NBA, chances are you’re going to be roasted by your fellow panelists. And that is exactly what Shaquille O’Neal experienced, as a random trip to the gas station store turned into a laughing point for Shaq.
A fan on Twitter posted a picture recounting how he and his son met Shaquille O’Neal at a gas station store coincidentally. This picture made its way to Inside the NBA, and Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Ernie Johnson saw the packet of Honey Buns in his hand, along with a bottle of Pepto-Bismol.
So… We were just on the south side of Atlanta after our son’s soccer game. Made a pit stop at @RaceTrac. Turned around in the checkout line, and who did we see? None other than @SHAQ. Took us completely by surprise. Really appreciate him letting us snap this quick pic. 🏀 pic.twitter.com/BTZhSI6UUH

Seeing this, the crew began to roast Shaq for buying Honey Buns. O’Neal tried to save himself, claiming that the Honey Buns weren’t his and that he had helped pick it up for another customer who had picked them out. He said that he doesn’t eat Honey Buns, but prefers Ding Dongs.
But the Inside The NBA crew were not going to let him slide, continuing with the jokes and just making fun of ‘The Diesel’. It was yet another hilarious moment to come out of the show, giving fans entertainment by roasting Shaq for getting caught buying and eating sweets.

Moments like these are just another example of why fans love Inside The NBA. They all roast each other regularly. Barkley recently roasted Kenny Smith, saying he would make the best 5000 players list in the future. But it isn’t just the panelists who get roasted.
Charles Barkley recently roasted Zion Williamson for his diet and getting in poor shape, saying that Zion looks like himself and Shaq had a baby. Barkley is especially known for roasting active players. But the whole crew often joins in on the roasts, regardless of who is being roasted.
