A recently resurfaced clip shared by Shaq on Instagram showcases the hosts of Inside the NBA engaging in a comedic and somewhat peculiar discussion. During a gift exchange, Charles Barkley revealed a gift, a vibrator, he received from Houston Rockets legend Kenny Smith, despite Smith denying it. However, Shaquille O’Neal confirmed that Smith had indeed given Barkley the object in question. This revelation, made in a light-hearted manner, added an entertaining twist to the interaction between the hosts.

Barkley then made a surprising revelation, stating, “Kenny gave me one vibrator.” However, Kenny quickly denied it, clarifying that it was actually a massage gun. O’Neal chimed in, affirming Barkley’s claim by saying, “Yes, you did.” This humorous moment led to laughter among the hosts. Fellow co-host, Ernie Johnson, appeared visibly uncomfortable and remained silent during the exchange.

 

This was not the first time the Phoenix Suns made a massive revelation as a few weeks back, he was seen opening up about his gambling habits and paying a hefty price for it.
