And yes, it was during a live segment.

During the analysis of the slate Denver Nuggets-Los Angeles Clippers Game 2 in the first round of the NBA qualifiers, O’Neal got up quickly from his chair and began to go to the door. Johnson, Smith and Barkley were all amazed.
“Go ahead, keep talking,” said O’Neal while heading for the toilet.
Smith said he knew the reason why O’Neal could not hold him during his appearance.

“It is this olive oil you have drunk,” said Smith. “Listen, he can’t hold it. After 40 [years old]You can’t hold it anymore. “”
Smith said that his colleague had read somewhere that olive oil helps clean the intestine. So he tests it.
“You have to do it for two weeks,” Barkley added to the conversation.

Johnson joked: “He will then miss a lot of antenna time.”
Things made another step, however, when the broadcast decided to show a replay of O’Neal heading towards the bathroom, which he thought of being above the line.
“Chuck, stop talking so much, finish your point so that we can go to break,” said O’Neal when he returns to the office. He also noted that it was too much water, which led to the necessary bathroom break.
“I’m sitting here like,” closes hell and hurry up. “Sorry for that, America,” added O’Neal.

From O’Neal’s push to a Christmas tree, to the mobility of Barkley’s statements throughout the season, the team “Inside The NBA” has always provided laughable moments.
You really never know what this crew will do then.
