Taking some time off, Kenny Smith had recently gone to Miami but the “Jet” was not alone on the seashore. Brazilian supermodel Aline Bernardes had joined the TNT analyst for the vacation. Smith and the bikini-clad supermodel were spotted by TMZ while they were lounging at a beach. Following that, a set of pictures of the duo went viral on Twitter, prompting a plethora of fans to go gaga over it. Turns out Kenny Smith got reminded of his Miami days on the NBA on TNT floor.

In the recent episode of Inside the NBA, the crew weighed in on the Suns-Nuggets matchup. However, at one point, Ernie Johnson decided to take the discussion in a whole new direction. EJ asked fellow crew members if they had any pictures from the weekend to share. Perhaps Johnson must have had Kenny Smith’s Miami vacation on his mind. In response, Charles Barkley was quick to say, “I got one of Kenny”, which hilariously cracked Shaquille O’Neal up. While Smith explained that he was at the Miami GP, it didn’t stop his co-hosts from pulling his leg for fun.
