Kenny Smith Laughs Off Haircut Jokes: 'That Is the Doc Rivers'

Kenny Smith's Inside the NBA co-hosts took great joy in a tweet from a fan comparing his new haircut to that of Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers.

On Wednesday's edition of Inside the NBA, the crew read out a tweet from a fan that reads, "Kenny Smith went to the barber and asked for the 'Doc Rivers.'"

The crew immediately erupted into laughter, and Smith conceded, "That is the Doc Rivers.. But no this ain't the Doc, Doc ain't go no beard!"

Ernie Johnson chimed in with a joke of his own at the expense of Manu Ginóbili. "I've been doing the Ginobili for years," he said with a laugh.

During the same episode, Charles Barkley hilariously reacted to Stephen Curry's injury in disbelief. "Is that his real thumb?!" he asked, as seen in the clip below. "That doesn't look like a human thumb."

The latest goofy moment from Inside the NBA comes just one day after the group clashed after the altercation between Giannis Antetokounmpo and Tyrese Haliburton this week. But it didn't compare to when Shaquille O'Neal rolled out an expensive portable 8K television, much to the surprise of his co-hosts.
