If you are an avid viewer of the post-game show Inside the NBA, then you know what time of the year it is. Yes, panel members Shaquille O’Neal, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Earnie Johnson are continuing their years-old tradition of going on ‘fishing trips’ in the postseason. The TNT co-hosts have already released several videos for their “Gone Fishin'” segment this season and as expected, the latest video includes the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Los Angeles Clippers. However, viewers probably didn’t expect Hollywood stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Bryan Cranston to be part of a seamless trolling session.
