Charles Barkley responds to Anthony Edwards telling him to come to Minnesota

Charles Barkley is one of the funniest media personalities in the NBA world. The former NBA MVP successfully transitioned his career from a star player to a talking head for Inside the NBA. Barkley joined the show during the 2000-01 season and has been a mainstay on the show since then, to what appears to be its nearing end at the end of this season.

The NBA is nearing a multi-party agreement with NBC Universal, Amazon, and ESPN for the league's media rights, in a deal that is speculated to be worth $7 billion. Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of TNT Sports, is not expected to match the offer made by NBC Universal, which could spell the end for Inside The NBA after decades of its run.

Charles Barkley had quite a funny reaction to the potential end of the NBA cornerstone, noting that he looks at it as an opportunity to play more golf, but also mentioned that he is worried about the staff on the show that could be out of work very soon.

The end of Inside The NBA on TNT is one that fans are not looking forward to. The show has been an iconic part of NBA programming for so long and is hailed by many fans as the best NBA analysis show in the world. It will be interesting to see what an NBA without Shaq, Chuck, Kenny, and Ernie will look like, but fans will probably get a chance to see that in a few months.

Shaquille O'Neal Roasted Charles Barkley Like He Was Drake

We got yet another hilarious moment last night during Inside The NBA. Shaquille O'Neal was making fun of Charles Barkley yet again, specifically his large posterior. During this roast session, Shaq referred to Barkley as 'BBL Chuck' a play on the recent nickname given to Drake by fellow rapper Rick Ross.

Shaquille O'Neal: "I didn't know you had all that a-- back there Chuck. BBL Chucky! BBL Chucky!"

Moments like this have made Inside The NBA so beloved among NBA fans, as they not only get excellent basketball analysis from some of the greatest players in NBA history but also get some incredible banter and exchanges between them. Shaquille O'Neal and Barkley are two of the greatest and most charismatic NBA personalities, and getting to see them multiple times a week joking around with each other is a true highlight for basketball fans around the world.

With what appears to be the last few weeks of Inside The NBA, fans will have to cherish these moments, as we might not get to see the show ever again in its current iteration. If Inside The NBA is going to go out, then it will go out with a Mike Breen-esque bang.
