It was recently announced that Inside the NBA hosts Shaquille O'Neal, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Ernie Johnson have all signed long-term contract extensions with Warner Bros Discovery Sports. The new contracts will keep basketball's most entertaining show on air for the foreseeable future.
In light of this news, check out five of the funniest moments from the Inside the NBA crew below:
1. Charles Barkley's take on some women in San Antonio
It's safe to say that NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley is not a fan of the behavior of some women in San Antonio, Texas. For over a decade, Barkley has directed jokes involving churros, Victoria's Secret, and Weight Watchers at some San Antonioan women. Barkley first made the joke before fellow Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal joined the cast.

2. Shaquille O'Neal on a flight to the moon
Shaquille O'Neal's addition to the Inside the NBA crew has been an incredible fit. In one hilarious moment, the Los Angeles Lakers great compared flying to California like flying to the moon. O'Neal declared that because he can see the moon, but not California, the flights must be similar in terms of time. He went on to guess that a flight to the moon takes 10 or 11 hours.
3. Shaquille O'Neal falls on set
At 7'1 and over 300 pounds, Shaquille O'Neal is a very large man. On its own, his on-set tumble would have made for great television. For some reason, however, O'Neal was convinced that co-host Ernie Johnson was involved in the fall. O'Neal accusing Johnson of setting him up created an instant classic Inside the NBA moment.
4. Shaquille O'Neal debates Inside the NBA crew on gas prices
Similar to their discussion on flights to the moon, the Inside the NBA crew's debate on gas prices was television gold due to Shaquille O'Neal. O'Neal attempted to convince co-host Kenny Smith that $20 worth of gas would bring his gas tank to full when it is half empty. The catch? The car needed $80 worth of gas to fill on empty.
5. Shaquille O'Neal eats world's hottest chip
Seemingly always at the center of the on-screen laughs, Shaquille O'Neal made a bet with Charles Barkley that he could eat the world's hottest chip without making a face. After biting the chip, O'Neal denied making a face before proclaiming that the chip was hot and asking for milk. He proceeded to offer to donate $50,000 to any charity of Barkley's choice in order for him to eat a chip.
