With the 2021-22 NBA season over, everyone associated with the league is hoping to get some time off before the postseason kicks off. Apart from the players, the same thing is applicable to NBA analysts as well.
But it seems like Kenny Smith, who is part of the NBA on TNT Inside crew, was a tad bit too eager to get some time. He was missing on the last day of the regular season, allegedly due to an illness.
While most people wouldn’t think much of it, Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal do not fit in that category. In fact, the two turned to detectives and tried to solve Smith’s absence while roasting him simultaneously.
“First of all, Imma tell you why he’s lying. He just wants an extra a couple of days at home. First of all, Kenny is a vegetarian, nobody gets sick eating that crap. Like I can get sick eating egg balls, burgers, and pizzas. Nobody gets sick eating that broccolini crap, asparagus, he eats those black bean burgers. There’s no way that crap can make you sick.”
Shaq added to the conversation, “Ernie, I have access to satellite drones, I know where he’s at, I’m just trying to get confirmation that we have him. I will be showing you where’s he at very soon.”

If you have watched previous segments of the Inside crew, you must be already aware that the crew likes to roast each other from time to time. In fact, in a way, these conversations are what pull even more audience to the show.
Additionally, we are certain that this is not the end of it. Whenever Smith returns back to the set, he will be bombarded with more jokes from Shaq and Chuck. If that happens, we are not complaining, to be honest.
