Shaq roasted Lonzo Ball and LaVar Ball with a jaw-dropping joke at NBA Awards show

Shaquille O’Neal is hosting the NBA Awards show Monday night in Los Angeles.

And while the first six minutes or so of the show were some of the cringiest moments of TV that I’ve seen in a while (Chris Tucker, yes, that Chris Tucker  was on stage doing some standup and yeesh it was hard to watch), Shaq did a pretty good job during his monologue.

He made fun of his good friend Charles Barkley, who was sitting in the crowd, and then wowed the crowd with a burn of Lonzo and Lavar Ball over the trade that Lakers made with the Pelicans.

Shaq: “Lakers had to cut their balls off to make this trade”
