Kenny Smith Shoved Shaquille O’Neal Into a Christmas Tree on ‘Inside the NBA’ Segment

Comedy approaches its peak when Shaquille O’Neal and Kenny Smith race each other from the anchor desk to the video board on TNT’s Inside the NBA on Tuesday nights.

However, with the holiday season quickly approaching, the level of intensity in Tuesday’s race during the Lakers-Cavaliers game was clearly at level 10 for Smith, who was preparing to go through his big-screen analysis.

As Ernie Johnson and Charles Barkley remained at the desk, Shaq and Smith jetted off. The Jet got out to an early lead but still shoved The Diesel into the brawny Christmas tree before making it to the screen.
