Stephen A. Smith vows revenge after Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley mock him on national TV - "Y’all are gonna pay for that"

ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith was hilariously compared to Boston Celtics guard Derrick White on national TV on Tuesday night. Smith took note of the comments made by Charles Barkley and jokingly swore to exact revenge.

During a postgame report, "Inside the NBA" host Charles Barkley hilariously commented upon a picture of White, saying:

"Is that Derrick White or Stephen A.? Stephen A. don’t play for the Celtics! He doing First Take in the morning and playing for the Celtics."

While the rest of the crew tried their best to discuss White's impact on the game, O'Neal and Chuck were in their own little world. O'Neal even broke into song to take a shot at Smith's hairline.

The panel apologized to Derrick White for the shots they took. However, there was no apology for Stephen A. Needless to say, Smith came back with a little promise of his own.

"Love all of my brothers on @NBAonTNT. But I’m gonna get @SHAQ and Chuck for comparing me with Derrick White. Y’all are gonna pay for that," he tweeted.
