WATCH: Shaquille O'Neal Destroys the Ruffles Pinata as Charles Barkley Announces Sponsorship in his Laugh-out-loud Segment on TNT

The crew on TNT, consisting of Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith, Shaquille O’Neal, and Charles Barkley provide comic relief to NBA fans around the world. Whoever has watched them in action knows how funny the quartet is. During the recently concluded All-Star weekend, we got another episode.

The show rolled on to Salt Lake City, Utah to host the all-star weekend in its entirety. Even away from the studio, the chemistry between the guys was funny, to say the least. This time just before the weekend kicked off, the crew revealed that Charles Barkley was the latest to get a sponsorship deal with Ruffles.

For the uninitiated, Ruffles is among the USA’s most popular chip makers. The event was met with a great deal of fanfare. The crew, in their trademark humorous reactions were sure to mock Barkley. Shaquille O’Neal led the way.

It was hilarious to see Shaquille O’Neal act like a big baby and just destroy a pinata to smithereens. With the fedora no less. Never change Shaq, never change.
