"Shaquille O'Neal attempts the milk crate challenge?": The crew of TNT's Inside the NBA mock the viral milk crate challenge with a little help from Big Diesel

The crew of TNT’s Inside the NBA does a mockery of the recent viral milk crate challenge. In a hilarious clip, Shaquille O’Neal can be seen performing the challenge.

The milk crate challenge involves attempting to build a pyramid of milk crates and then trying to walk on top of them from one side to the other.

The challenge seems to be the recent social media fad. Regardless, the challenge has been the center of a lot of criticism. Many believe the challenge can cause serious injury.

However, the TNT crew of award-winning show Inside the NBA never run out of creativity and are always present to tickle your rib. Recently, the crew did a mockery of the challenge by merging a hilarious old video of Shaq falling.

A few years ago, there was a hilarious incident of O’Neal tripping and falling with a loud thud on the studio floor. The moment was captured on camera and became an internet sensation for meme-makers and trolls.

Shaquille O’Neal falls off the milk crates

The viral milk crate challenge seems to have found a new member to its idiocracy that is none other than NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal.

However, the twist here is the 4x NBA champion is actually not performing the challenge but a montage of him falling in an episode of Inside the NBA has been merged with the challenge.

Former Rockets player and TNT analyst Kenny Smith’s segment of breaking down the game and explaining certain concepts of basketball on the LED screen of the show is not an old concept.

However, the segment has a sprint race involved that usually occurs between the two panelists of the show Shaquille O’Neal and Kenny Smith.

During one such episode, the two veterans seem eager to win the race and get into a motion of sprinting when O’Neal ends up tripping as he gets his leg entangled with a cord.

The 3x Finals MVP is seen blaming the host Ernie Johnson for setting him up, who completely seems flabbergasted by Shaq’s accusations.

Nonetheless, the video has always been stored in the vault of the shows’ other funny clips and was recently brought up again in light of the milk crate challenge.

This is not the first time that the hilarious clip has been photoshopped for a funny incident. In the past, as well the clip has been a treat for the people on the internet.
