Dwyane Wade and Shaq poke fun at Wade for spilling water over the set of NBAonTNT, bringing up his career averages in turnovers. 

Fans of the NBA who are accustomed to seeing Shaq, Ernie, Charles Barkley, and Kenny Smith on Inside the NBA may get a bit perplexed on Tuesdays when they seeing only 1/4th of that iconic foursome on national television, breaking down games. 

This is because Shaq, along with Adam Klefkoe, Dwyane Wade, and Candace Parker are part of a new set known as NBAonTNT on Tuesdays. It should be noted that most of the panelists here are quite young when compared to the likes of Chuck and Ernie.
