There was an extremely awkward segment on NBA TV Friday night as former basketball star Sam Mitchell was set off by his on-air colleague making a joke related to his salary.

Mitchell was asked by host Chris Miles about the fact that Warriors coach Steve Kerr did not receive a gold medal for coaching the USA men's Olympic team to glory this past summer in Paris.

'I guess it just tells you [in] international [play] how they value coaches - not at all,' Mitchell laughed.

Miles then poked a bit of fun at Mitchell - a former head coach for the Raptors - by saying, 'I'm surprised coaches get a paycheck for this show. Maybe you should do this pro-bono, my friend.'

It was clear that Miles struck a nerve, as Mitchell said his salary was in fact 'pretty close' to pro-bono before accusing Miles of 'bragging' about his money and threatening to reveal the address of his home.
