“I Didn’t Pass Gas, I Farted”: Shaquille O’Neal Admits To Charles Barkley And ‘Inside The NBA’ That He Had Some Bad Lasagna

Shaquille O’Neal seems to have no problem whatsoever with letting the world know that he’s passed gas on the set of ‘Inside the NBA’. What was supposed to be a regular halftime show breakdown for the Warriors-Kings Game 5 quickly turned into ‘The Big Aristotle’ having the TNT crew in splits over his shenanigans.

Shaq has always been quite the comedian since making it onto the set of NBA on TNT. His chemistry with Charles Barkley, Ernie Johnson, and Kenny ‘The Jet’ Smith is unparalleled. Given the fact that this set of 4 analysts has been doing this since 2011, it’s safe to say that they know exactly what gets the other to crack.

Tonight’s show was no different as O’Neal started off the halftime report for TNT Sports with an incredibly wild statement. Safe to say that whoever was handling his food isn’t going to be happy with Shaq’s review of it.

Shaquille O’Neal on passing gas on national television

Shaquille O’Neal is as nonchalant as it gets when he’s around the TNT guys. The 51-year-old has achieved every single thing he set out to achieve as a man when it comes to financial and NBA success. So, it should make sense that he simply does not care about what anybody thinks of him.

O’Neal, before the crew could even begin breaking down what they saw from the Warriors and Kings Game 5, started wafting his papers around him to signify that he had just passed gas. Kenny and Chuck were flabbergasted, to say the least, at what he had just done.

In Shaq’s defense, he hilariously said, “I didn’t pass gas, I farted,” on ‘Inside the NBA’.

Shaquille O’Neal dared Charles Barkley to wear a tank top on TNT

Charles Barkley isn’t exactly in great shape. Unlike Shaquille O’Neal who consistently tries to work out, Chuck lets himself indulge in donuts and churros whenever he pleases. On a recent episode of ‘Inside the NBA’, Shaq hilariously offers up $1,000 to his co-host.

O’Neal essentially wanted to see Barkley wear a black tank top similar to what action hero, Jean Claude Van-Demme wore in his movies. Looks like Chuck didn’t want any parts of this as he did not show up in a tank top today on TNT.
