Deflategate has taken the world by storm this week, so naturally everyone is figuring out how to jump on board. That includes the "Inside the NBA on TNT" guys, who had some fun with it Thursday night.

Kenny Smith and Shaq decided to do their own deflated ball test, with the big fella shooting free throws with one. (Spoiler alert: The ball doesn't matter; he still sucks at the line.)

Watch it all in the video below:

Elsewhere, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich gave a typical Coach Pop answer to a question about "Deflategate" before San Antonio lost at Chicago.

He turned his head side to side and asked, "Are you on this planet? Is this an NBA game tonight?"
