This perfect Shaq impersonation at the NBA Awards show had fans in tears

The NBA Awards show is taking place Monday night in Los Angeles with Shaquille O’Neal acting as the host.

While the show has had some rough moments, Shaq did get in a good joke that took down both Lonzo and LaVar Ball over the trade between the Los Angeles Lakers and New Orleans Pelicans.

But one of the funniest moments happened when Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley introduced a new Shaq for their great Inside the NBA show. This new Shaq, of course, was Jay Pharoah, who busted out his perfect Shaq impersonation that he had done previously on “Saturday Night Live.”

While this bit ran a little long, it still had some very funny moments:
