Former WWF Superstar Iron Sheik Blasted TNT's 'Inside the NBA' Crew on Twitter

Posted: Jan 26th 2013 By: mikeiles

If there is anything rattling around the ol' noggin of the Iron Sheik, he is going to record it for posterity on Twitter?even his abrasive, odd and hilarious thoughts about the NBA crew on TNT's "Inside the NBA."

For some odd reason, it was the NBA's turn to get the oft-opinionated Twitter posts from Hossein Khosrow Ali Vaziri, better known as The Iron Sheik.

Kenny Smith, Ernie Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal and Chris Webber were holding down studio duties on Thursday night sans Charles Barkley, who was doing color commentary for the Suns and Clippers game.

Here is just a taste of what the Iron Sheik had to offer as he sat down and enjoyed the proceedings.

First up is how Shaq gets walloped for no other reason than being a jabroni, per the Iron Sheik.

The Iron Sheik
The @SHAQ bubba you lucky me and the Sir Charles don't break your back make you humble old country way. You are big time jabroni

The self-professed Greatest Iranian of All Time has kind words for Kenny and EJ, though. Well, only halfhearted kindness toward Kenny "The Jet" Smith:

The Iron Sheik
The @NBAonTNT you are the intelligent like the Sir Charles. The Kenny he the half and half and the @shaq big time jabroni #teamsheikie

Craig Sager is a great many things, including someone whose closet must resemble Fashion by Skittles, and the Sheik has words for him:

The Iron Sheik
I give respect to the @TurnerSportsEJ he Iron Sheik class. He not like the dead dog dress Craig Sager or the midget @shaq The EJ the real

Jury is still out on Chris Webber, apparently:

The Iron Sheik
The @NBAonTNT respect the legend, the Ernie I respect, Sir Charles the real, the @shaq the big time jabroni. Chris Webber I don't know yet

He then crossed the line into racial epithet in his next tweet, which is precisely to be expected from a Twitter feed like his.

This is a former athlete who has no problem saying whatever crosses the transom of his mind, whether it be in response to Hulk Hogan's sex tape, or the NHL's lockout and Gary Bettman.

Apparently, it was just the NBA on TNT's turn to get the bizarre and sometimes hilarious ramblings of The Iron Sheik.
