The ‘Inside the NBA’ crew is back in action
As Charles Barkley was about to share one of the stories from the time when he played in the NBA, Kenny ‘The Jet’ Smith had an epic response that had the other hosts in splits and left Barkley absolutely befuddled.

And as Barkley was about to tell the rest of the crew what Popovich told him, Kenny interrupted by saying, “Stop eating?” Right after Shaquille O’Neal chimed in and said, “Don’t go to Krispy Kreme?” Seems as if the crew was sitting on these kinds of rebuttals for a while and are ready to unleash them on Day 1 itself.
