Shaq’s line after threatening to knock out Charles Barkley had Ernie Johnson in tears

The Inside the NBA on TNT postgame shows are always phenomenal television, especially when it’s later in the night and things are going off the rails and threats are being made between Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley.

That happened early Wednesday morning after the Rockets-Warriors game, as Shaq had Ernie Johnson laughing so hard he had to walk away from the table.

They were doing a 3-minute, timed segment and Shaq didn’t like how he didn’t get a chance to get in on time. He blamed Barkley, who started the segment and rambled on, for not leaving him enough time and screwing up the order:

“It’s supposed to be 1, 2, 3… Not 1, 2, back to 1,” Shaq said.

And they all lost it, especially Ernie:

What a show.
