“He's got too much money” — Shaquille O'Neal brings a fully-loaded streaming TV suitcase to his TNT show

When you’re sitting on a fortune of half a billion dollars, bringing your own TV to work seems like a no-brainer, right? Shaquille O’Neal certainly made waves on Inside the NBA when he revealed a suitcase that had built-in streaming, leaving co-hosts Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley both amazed and laughing uncontrollably. But what was he watching? That’s where the plot thickens.

Kenny Smith points out the absurdity as Shaquille O’Neal watches the NBA on a tiny screenShaquille O’Neal really knows how to mix luxury with a good laugh, and he proved it by showing off his portable TV suitcase that lets you stream Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+. This isn’t the first time Shaq has introduced quirky gadgets to the show; his playful antics have become a key part of its charm.

The silliness of watching the same game on a smaller display or picking totally different content had Ernie Johnson and Kenny Smith in stitches, with Smith saying, “He’s got too much money.”

He later added, “he said, “He's watching that TV, and we have the big screen behind it playing the exact same game.”.

O'Neal isn't just a star on screen; he's also got a sharp financial mind. His net worth is estimated to be around $500 million, and he recently signed a contract extension with TNT Sports that brings in over $15 million each year. This ensures he’ll keep appearing on Inside the NBA, even as the show shifts to ESPN and ABC following the recent changes in broadcasting rights.

Later when Shaq showed the T.V. to camera Charles Barkley one of the co-host got even more surprised and straight up asked, “Who carries the private television?” to which Kenny replied laughing “He”.

Shaq shared a story about the first time he showed off his wealth. Early in his career, he remembered blowing through $1 million in just half an hour after getting his first big paycheck. He bought a sleek black Mercedes-Benz, then splurged on jewelry, tailored suits, and even paid a year’s rent upfront for a fancy high-rise apartment that he barely lived in. This extravagant spending caught the attention of his bank manager, who urged him to be smarter with his money.
