Another day, another feud for the NBA on TNT crew. But, while the usual suspects involve the two Hall of Famers, the situation is far worse this time around. Instead of just Charles Barkley & Co., the entire studio was under fire after Anthony Miracola’s fiery comments. However, Shaquille O’Neal wasn’t one to take the disrespect lightly. After accusations against the crew, O’Neal would fire back in the only way he knew how.

Taking to Instagram, the Los Angeles Lakers legend had a message for the Guinness world-book record holder. During an appearance on Gil’s Arena Show alongside Gilbert Arenas, the shooting expert made a lot of accusations about the best sports show in the game.

But, the 4x NBA Champion was having none of that. Captioning his “response” with “@miracola360 charles barkley, ernie johnson and @kennysmith would like to apologize. But i don’t . lol. @thebigpodwithshaq @adamlefkoe. in the words of the great @tooshort .CANT HANG WITH THE BIG DOGS STAY OFF THE COURT” 

In the accompanying video, every one of Miracola’s comments had a meme attached to them. Whether it was Diesel spewing out water, laughing his heart out, or a young child calling “bulls**t”, the entire production was meant to goad Anthony.

With neither side backing down, it could turn into an ugly scenario. While the complaints haven’t been confirmed, Arenas’ guest left little to the imagination with his fiery rant.

The accusations against Shaquille O’Neal & Co.

According to the shooter, “They were being real secretive on the phone before we went there. It’s a thing where it was just bizarre…They posted different videos of mine. Everybody was cool on the phone.” But, his experience going there is when things took a downward turn.

The first issue he had was that the team refused to pay for his wife’s tickets. Citing it as a “really weird vibe”, Anthony did not have a good showing in his shootout with Kenny “The Jet” Smith. However, according to him, his shots, which were hitting the ceiling constantly, had to do with the studio’s small setting and not any deficiency on his part.

Moreover, he also had a problem with the number of times the video had been shared by the team. Kenny’s triumph from the shooting spot became a regular reminder on programming. With his reputation as a shooter under question, it did not impact his career according to him.

However, the post-shootout behavior is what rubbed him the wrong way. With the Miami Heat legend staunchly defending his crew, who’s in the right?
