TNT’s Inside the NBA aired on Thursday as the network broadcasted the Phoenix Suns-Boston Celtics game.

Suns big man Bol Bol, who stands at a towering 7-foot-3, scored 10 points on 4-of-4 shooting during the first half.

O’Neal and the rest of his Inside the NBA partners came back to give their analysis on the first 24 minutes of play.

But first, Shaquille was loudly opening a little cereal box of Applejacks which forced host Ernie Johnson to ask what he was doing.

The Los Angeles Lakers icon then revealed a bowl and starting pouring the Apple Jacks in the glass vessel.

“We gon’ talk about my boy Bol Bol,” O’Neal said, poking fun at the NBA player’s name.

He then laughed while adding Rice Krispies and Corn Pops cereals into the bowl.

Colleague Charles Barkley was confused with O’Neal’s play of words asking him, “What’s [Bol] go to do with cereal?

Shaquille quickly said, “Cereal goes into what, dummy? A bowl.”

Johnson also didn’t understand why he didn’t bring two bowls because of Bol’s same two names.

However, O’Neal didn’t have milk with him, so he poured tea into the bowl and ate the soaked cereal.

The Inside the NBA panel looked stunned at Shaq’s decision, and they weren’t alone.

NBA fans posted their reactions to O’Neal’s antics on social media.

One wrote, “Shaq, you are a savage for that.”

Another commented, “Cereal, and hot tea? War crime.”

While a third asked, “What the hell?”
