Back in 2007, during the second season of The Boondocks, Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, and the Inside the NBA crew made a quick cameo appearance on the show during an episode that featured Riley having a dream about playing in the NBA. In the dream, Barkley referred to Riley as a "disgrace to basketball" and called him "everything wrong with the game today." And Johnson replied to Barkley's harsh criticism with some criticism of his own:

Well, last night on Inside the NBA, Johnson found the perfect time to pull out that same exact line again. During the show, Shaquille O'Neal asked him a question and Johnson replied to him with this:

Wow. Well played, Ernie. And what made it even better was that he brushed his shoulder off right after using the line and kept it moving with the next promo.
