Just sayin': So the next night....

Taking The Piss On 'Inside The NBA'... Trolled With Portable Toilet!!!​

Shaquille O'Neal's bathroom emergency wasn't about to come and go without some chain yanking from his "Inside the NBA" cohosts ... with the NBA legend getting trolled with a portable toilet right next to his spot on the desk!!

Fresh off O'Neal's abrupt exit from Monday night's show to drain the snake, his coworkers decided to help him out a bit with some hijinks.

The hilarious prank was documented during Tuesday night's TNT coverage of the NBA playoffs ... something Charles Barkley didn't even notice when he arrived to the studio.

Once Ernie Johnson, Kenny "The Jet" Smith, Shaq and Chuck were all together, they acknowledged the silly antics ... and the four-time champion decided he'd make use of it by pretending to relieve himself during the segment (sound effects and all).

Chuck joked he badly wanted to tip the stall over ... but Kenny advised him it wasn't in their best interest.

When Shaq reappeared, he fully leaned into the bit ... even exposing some toilet paper coming from his waistband and spraying some air freshener.

MEMPHIS

yawn

I cannot tell a lie, I don't care where he goes as long as it's not here.

Sorry to hear it. I hope he beats it again.

Yeah. Should probably add a shout out to Ed Obannon (sp?) for breaking the NIL barrier too.

The Holy Trinity is NIL bag team, Adam Smith, Ed O.

It could be a good thing for OSU, IF Kennard Davis chooses the Buckeyes, because Henderson just took the SF spot away from him at Miami. So I would guess that's one less school to compete with for Davis.

Wasn't one of our collectives supposed to concentrate on basketball??

I was looking for a pat-yourself-on-the-back emoji, but we don’t seem to have one.

Someone needs to correct me, but unless one is an NBA lottery pick, isn't $4 mil pretty much what a 2nd round pick would get? Also sounds like a .250 hitter asking for $40 mil to fail three out of four times....

In the words of Too Short, "gettin it". Also, "get in where you fit in" and "life is too short".

I said no such thing!

I'd guess as long as he's learning, learning, and doing it will all work out eventually. Certainly passes the 'look test'. Hopefully the guys who come in, sweat, lift, learn, and love to hit will be rewarded with their own starting position. Get some reps this year, and starting LT next year. Go Bucks!

WOW! thanks for reminding me what the noise in the shoe is like. It's been so long since I've been able to go there time has dulled my memory. What excitement in the air. Thanks so much for posting this.
What I would give to be able to drag this tired old worn out body to the 'Shoe once more.

Rice arrived at North Carolina with much fan fare in the class of 2022, but plans to leave Wednesday after playing in six games this season between offense and special teams.

The 6-foot-5, 305-pounder played 12 games in 2023, mostly on special teams, and played in a pair of games in 2022. During that time period he was charged with speeding and underage drinking and driving.

Rivals.com had Rice ranked No. 24 overall, No. 1 in Virginia and No. 2 at tackle in the class of 2022 coming out of Lynchburg (Va.) Liberty Christian Academy. He played in the Under Armour All-American Bowl and was invited to the Polynesian Bowl. Rice didn’t allow a sack in his final two years and had 219 pancake block en route to being a two-time all-state selection.

Rice picked North Carolina over Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State, Virginia and Virginia Tech.
