"Actually, Ernie, that Hyper thing, Kenny gave me one. The vibrator," Barkley said.

This year's "NBA on TNT" coverage with Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith, Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal

With plenty of hilarious moments over the past week, the coverage is sure to deliver plenty more laughs.
The broadcasting team recently went viral as they joked about Boston Celtics guard Derrick White's hairline. The way Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal saw things, White's hairline was reminiscent of ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith's receding hairline.
“Is that Derrick White or Stephen A.?” Barkley said. “Damn, Derrick. Stephen A. plays for the Celtics. He does 'First Take' in the morning and plays for the Celtics. This dude is going to be tired.”
That prompted a response from Stephen A. Smith, who weighed in on the situation, proclaiming his hairline is a little better than White's.
“Listen, Derrick White is a very, very good player,” Smith said. “He’s also a very, very good man. I wish him nothing but the best. But I don’t think my hairline looks like that. I think it looks a little better than that.”
Tune in on Thursday night to see Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal in action on "Inside the NBA."
