The Inside the NBA crew pranked Charles Barkley by swapping out his Diet Coke for a mystery drink

Poor Charles Barkley.

The Inside the NBA crew can always be counted on for some delightful shenanigans, and Charles Barkley landed himself on the prank list on Thursday night.

During a show break, Barkley’s co-hosts swapped out his mug filled with Diet Coke for a mystery beverage and left him to find out the new drink in his mug as they got a good kick out of it.

The camera crew caught Barkley’s reaction to discovering that the beverage in his mug was most certainly not Diet Coke, which got a huge laugh out of everyone on set.

Poor Barkley; don’t mess with a man’s Diet Coke!

Barkley was obviously a good sport for being pranked, as he’s undoubtedly been behind some great pranks on his co-workers during his time on the show.

This is just the latest example of how Inside the NBA is one of the most unpredictably enjoyable shows in the sports space.
