INSIDE the NBA analyst Kenny Smith’s knees have gotten TV viewers talking again.

The two-time NBA champion’s worn-out joints seemingly gave up during an in-studio with Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic on Thursday.

The Inside the NBA crew welcomed Doncic before TNT’s Rivals Week doubleheader, featuring Boston Celtics-Miami Heat and Sacramento Kings-Golden State Warriors matchups.

Smith, 58 — as well as Shaquille O’Neal, Charles Barkley, and host Ernie Johnson — interviewed the Mavericks guard while standing by the basket on the opposite side of the set

And the Houston Rockets icon appeared to be struggling with his knees bending inwards throughout the segment.

The scene generated a lot of attention on social media with TV viewers poking fun at the NBA icon.

“Kenny Smith walking with those inverted knees,” one wrote.

“My god… looking at Kenny’s knees hurt mine,” another said.

“Nah… tell the cameramen at TNT, please keep the camera off of Kenny Smith’s knock knees,” a third added.

“Kenny’s knees look like greater than lesser than signs math signs,” one wrote.

“Kenny Smith rockin the Disney Channel knees,” one said.

The toll Smith’s sports career took on his knees — and the way he moves because of it — has contributed to the Inside the NBA cast’s iconic Races to the Board becoming a staple of the show.

The retired point guard has also been teased by his TNT co-stars because of his wonky legs in the past.

O’Neal encouraged Victor Oladipo to do “the Kenny walk” after his game breakdown in the ex-Indiana Pacers guard’s visit to the set a few years ago.

Smith laughed at his bad knees himself last year, shooting a video of himself running gingerly up sand dunes in response to Steph Curry’s commercial.

The Doncic interview delivered another amusing moment with Barkley using the Mavs star as a human shield as Shaq threatened to rough him up.
