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.
Charles Barkley was about to tell a story about Gregg Popovich, the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs and the longest-tenured coach in NBA history. Barkley said, “Gregg Popovich, one of the greatest coaches ever, said something to me one time. We were down there doing a game…”

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.

But Barkley wasn’t going to fall for that. As Kenny tried to save some face on TV, Barkley said, “I’ll hit a man with glasses. Keep it up.” It seems as if even the crew missed this playful banter with each other for quite some time.
