If you are scared about gas prices hitting an all-time high, do not worry because Shaquille O’Neal has a brilliant theory to escape it. It’s been 6 years since the Los Angeles Lakers legend delivered the iconic, ‘Gas Math’ theory. Well, he continues to get trolled on live television for it, and this time they brought it back with the help of San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama, who impersonated the ‘Big Diesel’, leading to hilarious banter between the Inside Crew.

Surprisingly, the French sensation did not disappoint. He performed O’Neal’s ‘Gas Math’ theory and as always, the 4x NBA champion decided to back his claims again. “This is why my brain is here and you guys are down there,” Shaq stated. The 2000 MVP couldn’t even be sarcastic, as Ernie Johnson replied, “Do not take this advice from Dr. O’Neal!” Also, notice how Johnson mentioned Shaq’s doctorate for some extra salt in the wounds.

It started in 2018 when Kenny Smith shared his discomfort about paying $80 every time he pulled up to the gas station. Shaquille O’Neal recommended to his co-host, “When it gets to half, then you put $20. You bring it back to full”, and Smith replied, “But I would have to stop often and still spend $80”

Shaq said, “You’re complaining about when it gets to zero, you’ll spend $80. Right? When it gets to half, you put $20. Then when it gets back to half, you put $20”. The Lakers legend did not know that it anyhow equals $80 ultimately. Moreover, half a tank is $40, even though Shaq kept insisting it’s $20.

After a point, there is no use battling him. The ‘Big Aristotle’ is not listening to you. Kenny Smith tried his best to question Shaq like a math teacher, to which he replied, “Forget the math…Shut the hell up”. 

Ernie on the other hand was fed up. The co-host went, “How many years have been having this thing? Like three years?”
