Charles Barkley, Shaq laugh until they cry comparing Derrick White’s hairline to Stephen A. Smith’s

After a long night of NBA basketball, things went off the rails during “The Inside the NBA” when Tuesday night turned into Wednesday morning.

And, of course, Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal were at the center of the hijinks.

The conversation turned to Boston Celtics guard Derrick White and his hairline, comparing it to ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith.

Smith, of course, heard about the antics and vowed to get his revenge.

On Wednesday, ESPN’s “Get Up” shared in the mischief as Mike Greenberg and Kimberley A. Martin added their 2 cents.

Smith even entered the “Get Up” set and grabbed a mic to put Shaq and Barkley on notice.

“The first thing I did was text them. And I said, ‘Imma get both y’all.’ They were dying laughing,” Smith said. “Texting me back like, ‘We love you man!’ I’m like, ‘Oh, I’m gonna get y’all back.’

“Listen, Derrick White is a very, very good player. I’m sure he’s a very, very good man. I wish him nothing but the best. But I don’t think my hairline looks like that. You understand what I’m saying, I think it looks a little better than that.”

You be the judge.

“Shaq, Chuck, I swear, somehow, someway, I’m gonna get y’all,” Smith added. “I’m gonna get both y’all, y’all know I’m good for it.”
