There have been several hilarious moments on the show, Inside the NBA, over the years.

And on Tuesday, there was another moment due to a wager gone wrong for Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal. During the NBA on TNT studio show last week, O’Neal struck a bet with co-host Ernie Johnson.

If Georgia beat TCU for the national championship in college football, the four-time NBA champion would eat a frog.

The Bulldogs routed the Horned Frogs, 65-7, in Monday’s title game for its second straight national championship.

On Tuesday, Shaq — who won one of his NBA rings with the Miami Heat — attempted to fool the audience by eating “frog legs” on air. But Tuesday’s studio host, Adam Lefkoe called Shaq out for not eating frog, but chicken. And further pushing Shaq to do it for real with Johnson, who is a Georgia Bulldogs alum.

Check out the funny exchange below:
