Shaquille O’Neal, Who Thought Asteroids Were On Mercury, Raged After Getting ‘Humiliated’ By Jamal Crawford In Jeopardy

Shaquille O’Neal made the best decision of his post-career life when he decided to accept Turner Sports’ offer to join their cast of NBA analysts on ‘Inside the NBA’. After being forced to retire as a Boston Celtic following a 19-year career due to Achilles issues, Shaq would sign onto the show and the rest is history. 

O’Neal’s chemistry with Ernie Johnson, Kenny ‘The Jet’ Smith, and Charles Barkley would be put on display almost immediately. His back-and-forth banter with Chick however, would take center stage. Whether it was roasting him for not having rings or it was Barkley calling him dumb, everything they said to one another was comedy gold. 

A lot of the funniest moments in the show’s history haven’t just come from the desk as the games they played brough about quite a lot of iconic moments between the crew. One such moment happened recently with newcomer, Jamal Crawford, joining the fray.

Shaquille O’Neal breaks his board after Jamal Crawford excels at Jeopardy 

Shaquille O’Neal, Candance Parker, and Jamal Crawford took to ‘Inside the NBA’ to play a friendly game of Jeopardy on the show a couple days ago. The last NBAonTNT indulged in this game, Shaq said that Mercury had its own asteroids so it’s safe to say that there wasn’t a whole lot of hope going into this new edition of Jeopardy. 

However, J-Cross would take everybody by surprise when he would answer quite nearly every single question that was thrown their way. Everything from knowing where Nick Nurse was born to knowing what material a Chinese emperor tomb was made out of; Crawford knew it all. 

In a hilarious fit of rage, Shaq would take his whiteboard and break it in pieces after seeing Jamal comfortably answer every single question.

Shaquille O’Neal is staying with ‘Inside the NBA’ for a long time 

Amidst rumors of Charles Barkley wanting to retire, Turner Sports offered him a contract over the course of 10 years worth anywhere between $100 million and $200 million. This, of course, led Chuck to take this offer up. 

Turner would also offer up similar contracts to the rest of the guys, including Shaquille O’Neal. So, it’s safe to say that fans will bear witness to at least another’s decade’s worth of tomfoolery from Shaq and Barkley.
