Charles Barkley pranked Kenny Smith by revealing his hotel room number on Inside the NBA
It’s genuinely impossible to predict whatever shenanigans that the Inside the NBA crew will get into whenever they’re all together.
On Tuesday night, Charles Barkley ramped his prankster spirit up a notch by revealing to all the viewers at home what hotel room fellow broadcaster Kenny Smith was staying in for that evening.
Smith had his hotel room key on the broadcasters’ table, and Barkley took full advantage of it being up for grabs while on air.
Ernie Johnson instantly reacted to his pal Barkley’s trolling with a very funny “Chuckster, you can’t be doing that!” Although, even he wondered why Smith had left his room key out.

While we’re guessing Smith promptly changed his room if he was still actually staying at that hotel, this is a very funny prank and one that embodies the spirit of what makes Inside the NBA so irresistible.
Even if Smith probably made a quick call to where he was lodging at the commercial break.
