The NBA world had a good laugh, thanks to sports commentator Stephen A. Smith. Shaquille O’Neal, Dwyane Wade, and Kendrick Perkins couldn’t stop laughing at his hysteria. He has been long known to troll the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys. It seems like with this video, there is no end in sight. Smith and three-time Super Bowl champion Michael Irving recreated a scene from ‘Next Friday’, for ‘First Take’. The Dallas Cowboys had lost to the Washington Commanders on Sunday.
This gave Smith a perfect opportunity to mock the team. With the help of Irving, who played for the Cowboys throughout his 11-year-long career, he set to work.

Dwyane Wade also posted a number of laughing emojis as well. Even Michael Irving was uncontrollably laughing at the end of the video.

Irving was seen almost in a sheepish, embarrassed stance, with Stephen A. Smith grilling him, and never giving him the chance to speak. Smith shut him down as soon as the NFL legend uttered a word.

It would be surprising if Shaquille O’Neal didn’t pull off any prank or voice out a cheeky comment. But typical of his entertaining avatar, O’Neal didn’t disappoint.
During his interview with Stephen A. Smith, he stole Smith’s glasses, before putting them in his pocket. Smith was pleading to Shaq to not try on the “expensive glasses” to avoid stretching them. “That head is too big!“, shouted Smith. But the four-time champion already got comfortable in the glasses.
