Ahead of the All-Star game Sunday evening, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James joined the ‘Inside the NBA’ crew in a rare appearance and he did not come empty-handed. The 4x champion had a gift for all the hosts of the TNT crew, including Shaquille O’Neal, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Ernie Johnson. who all have one thing in common. A bald head! James gifted a few hair grooming products to all four legends, but that was not the only highlight.

TNT took this chance to showcase some funny hair and beard mishaps on the show involving Shaq and Kenny Smith. Just 10 days back, Shaq revealed the shocking amount of dye on his beard. Wiping his facial hair with a tissue, Shaq delivered yet another iconic moment that TNT replayed. LeBron, who was taking a close look at the video, burst out into laughter after Shaq’s hilarious moment was shown. 

Considering the mishaps, that’s a pretty good gift from the King. However, these products are not going to be of much use to Sixers legend Barkley because, unlike his three co-hosts, he doesn’t have a beard.

But it will be interesting to note that he is the reason why James decided to pull up with hair care products. 

Charles Barkley’s live bullying pushed LeBron James to bring out the gifts 

Shaq, Smith, and Ernie Johnson have a pretty nice beard that they care about. However, Barkley loves to pull Smith’s leg. The Chuckster believes that Kenny’s beard line is not connected. LeBron James heard this and he wanted to show Kenny Smith some love. The NBA scoring leader pulled out the beard cream as a part of his gesture.

James added, “I heard yesterday Charles was getting on you Kenny about when your beard gonna connect. So I am making sure we gonna expedite this process.” That’s great news for the 2x champion. Let’s hope that Smith gets it figured out by the time James joins the TNT crew next.
