Kenny showed Shaquille O’Neal what Uncle Jerome would do to him if he scored only 7 points on 5 FGAs. 

After discussing the issue, they agreed that even though Davis was in his prime, he did not seem to have the dominance the game required.

During the halftime show, O’Neal spoke about Davis having only 7 points on just 5 free throws.

The episode ends with O’Neal asking Kenny Smith about what Uncle Jerome will do to him if he only scores 7 points on 5 free throws at halftime. In response to Shaq’s question, Smith took a seemingly empty box that had been lying on the table and aimed it over O’Neal’s head.

O’Neal grabbed the donut that fell to the ground and took a bite from the same. After this incident, Charles Barkley agreed that he would eat the donut as well if he had dropped it on the floor.

Moreover, we can safely say that Shaquille O’Neal’s love for donuts is irreplaceable and this is evident from the above incident.
