Kenny Smith Pump Fakes Inside NBA Crew with Fake ‘Kenny Race to the Board’ Move

During the ‘Kenny Race to the Board’ segment his cohosts will always make an attempt to predict when he’s about to get up, then outrun him. The board in this case is a videoboard that covers a large wall on the Inside the NBA set. Knowing that Shaq, Ernie, and Charles Barkley usually jump up right at the moment he slightly turns his chair to get up, he devised a plan to troll them.

As you’ll see in the footage below Kenny Smith pretended he was getting ready to run to the board, but never got out his seat. Charles Barkley, Shaq, and Ernie Johnson all jumped out their seats, but then realized they had just been fooled when Kenny Smith was still sitting in his chair with a sly smile on his face.
