It’s been quite some time since former NBA players Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley announced their retirement from basketball. This, however, did not stop them from being involved in the world of the sport, displaying their passion for the game to be far from extinguished. Both players have been a part of the TNT Broadcast crew for quite some time, alongside other commentators like Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson.

The crew have had their moments together, pranking and roasting each other quite often. It is something, however, that they are unfazed by. Fans witnessed a recent example of the same as one of the members decided to do something racy only a few months after he was roasted for doing that exact thing.

Back in May, former Denver Nuggets player Kenny Smith raised eyebrows after he hit the Miami beach with Aline Bernardes, a Brazilian model. Smith was seeing going topless, sporting a pair of pink-colored swim trunks and listening to music in an Instagram story shared by Bernardes. Aside from the social media post, other pictures were also taken of the duo hanging out and relaxing.

Soon after, Smith returned to Atlanta to cover the NBA Playoffs with the rest of his TNT’s Inside the NBA crew. During the coverage, when Johnson asked whether there were any more photos the guys wanted to share from the weekend, Barkley replied,??I?ve got one of Kenny?, which drew a laugh from Shaquille O?Neal.

Smith attempted to downplay the jab and insist that he was just hanging out with Shaq for the F1 weekend, which the former Boston Celtics player hilariously denied. Johnson was able to rescue Smith and turn the audience’s attention towards an analysis segment.

Overall, Smith was a good sport and let the cohosts have their fun at his expense.

Smith goes topless once again

Despite the leg pulling he got from his crew not so long ago, Smith didn’t mind baring his upper body once again. The media was able to catch a glimpse of Smith landing back on the same beaches of Miami alongside the very same Aline Bernardes.
