Denzel Washington made an appearance on Inside the NBA on Monday night, and with Shaq, Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley, it was of course entertaining.
There was this special request by Shaq: “Denzel, before you leave, can you hit us off with that King Kong line?”
Without missing a beat, Denzel had the entire crew laughing as he rattled off lines from his epic speech that comes toward the end of the movie Training Day — this was the leading role that the actor won an Oscar for in 2002. He kindly left out the expletives.

Denzel also revealed to Chuck that yes, he has acted in movies that he knew would be terrible.
"Do what you gotta do so you can do what you wanna do!"
