'Inside the NBA' has a tradition of Kenny 'The Jet' Smith racing his co-hosts to the video monitor on the set.
The ritual leads to some funny moments, but on Tuesday night it gave fans a show they didn't want to see.
During halftime of Nuggets-Clippers, Smith raced Shaquille O'Neal to the video board.
Not only did he beat Shaq, he also shook him out of his shoes.

Yes those are Shaq's feet, fully exposed on national television.
According to Footwear News, the big man wears a size 22 shoe. Looking at the logo on the shoes, Shaq is wearing his signature line with Reebok.
When the cameras panned to O'Neal's bare toes the rest of the crew groaned.

This comes a week after Shaq rushed off the TNT set to use the bathroom unexpectedly during the live postgame show.
There's no telling what the big man may do next. Hopefully it's not as gross as the last couple incidents.
