Charles Barkley Discusses His Decision To Not Retire And Stay At TNT | 8/8/24

[@tay8312]

I'm happy like I'm part of the show 😂🎉 I'm glad to hear this for real.

[@fiarandompenaltygeneratorm5044]

Sir Charles is a good man. His loyalty to TNT and the people there is amazing and sadly rare these days.

[@carloshudson7106]

Charles, I appreciate your loyalty and passion for the people that work with/for you. That goes a long way into creating those around you a sense of what true love for fellow man means. Man of purpose and honor I salute you!

[@terminatorbatspawn]

Thank God! And Thank You to One Of The Greats. Bless You Sir Charles. Can't wait to see The Crew Together again soon. 🏀👏😎

[@nickthomas6475]

Shot out to chuck, for looking out for the people he work with people ain't loyal no more these days 🤔

This is awesome I would of hated it of inside nba was canceled its one of the best shows evers

[@awsohmvision]

They can do the show at a certain time even if they don’t have games kinda like how espn got nba today at 3p. I would watch!!!🔥🔥🔥

I totally respect Chuck, with all the money that he has …..he’s put the number one priority as other people being employed. On top of that he’s willing to take a pay cut so people can keep their jobs. Much respect Chuck!

[@needtocomment]

A lot of people in this comments section seem to be confused how Inside the NBA can continue without having the media rights. Same way that Dan Patrick, player-hosted podcasts, NFL Sunday Primetime and HBO Real Sports talk sports without media rights. They can discuss the game on a weekly show and not solely focus on that evening’s game - talk about teams rising/falling, player performances, etc. Getting permission to use highlights would be a plus, but not entirely needed

[@FTLnovaKid]

Yea it would be fairly different. But it would definitely work. They just need the 4 together and magic happens. It would be cool if this means Chuck can be even more unfiltered. lol

[@xrpedro]

They can and will definitely make it work

[@MAXPRESTIGEEE]

Charles going to heaven for sure. He would been a real one in any time period.

[@MM-xc2bt]

Barkley, a great player and even better as a person

[@Sosaaxz]

Adam Silver is to blame for this choosing Amazon over TNT

[@TheRealMichaelP]

Thought for sure that was gonna be a Bo Jack jersey from the thumbnail 😂

[@willjamesjr]

In my opinion, I dont think Charles was ever going to retire. He's used retirement ploy in past contract negotiations with TNT. I think he tried to use it hear to apply some pressure on the NBA to not lose "Inside". It didn’t work, and ultimately, Charles' love for TNT and for getting paid ruled the day

[@lakerland420]

I heard him on a podcast after he got his big contract saying he only did the long term deal to help tnt in there upcoming tv negotiations wit the nba and that he signed the long contract never intending on finishing the full deal out

[@markkostka6897]

Charles and everyone else doesn't care what you think about him wanting to retire before. He was angry and disappointed at the NBA like the rest of us. Who cares how serious it was. Wow, you are so good at knowing Charles from your computer.

[@Jamieegenti]

Im so happy for Chuck!!!

[@markkostka6897]

It's certainly possible Amazon or ESPN or the NBA will hire the show to broadcast their show...certainly NBA tv would be stupid to miss this chance with a show that promotes their product so well and so much better than they could.

[@Shdjdjxbdksk]

Best News Ive heard in a long while! Chuck is a legend!

This won't work unless the other networks give them the rights to show highlights.

[@REE_III]

They don't need to show highlights. ALL of the morning shows work without any highlights.

[@djsausagebiscuits]

@@REE_III I don't know buddy, I watch a lot of things on KZbin, but for Television I think you need the highlights. I don't think Amazon or the major TV networks will give them up.

[@rayonbutler2882]

The new show may probably be a review of the week on what's going on in the sports world

[@stansdad1]

The answer to all your questions is money

[@MrRicklynch57]

I wouldn't be surprised if TNT is doing one of 3 things. 1. Producing Inside The NBA for Amazon since they don't have personalities. 2. Producing Inside The NBA for ESPN, since Turner, FOX, and ESPN have that new app coming out. 3. Inside March Madness becomes Inside The NCAA and the show is on CBS college hoops all year.

[@bluescripts100]

College all year is trash they should go with Amazon if the contract works out

[@ChaseRiver2]

​@@bluescripts100college hoops is currently way better than nba

[@anon2414]

Ain’t no one care about college

[@cwrk105]

If they get highlight rights this will change sports forever. They will have better quotas and relevance then the networks that carry the actual games with much better cost structure.

[@KenyelSR]

Which is why they won’t get the highlight rights.

[@rijgrg1]

Charles must be a goat. All goats declare to retire then come back 😂

[@thomschery2800]

We have similar situation, here in Europe. The sports shows hosts lost their jobs because of loosing licence, so they start to do the new sports chanell on KZbin and they doing great. You can do the same only in tv.

[@Pswayze23]

Just show highlights of the games. And have the guys talk about it.

[@iceman-hw7kb]

I'm glad chuck staying he's the main reason i watch the show

[@kmacksmcdonald6475]

Can Charles work with NHL Hockey? I always love his takes there. Of course since he would not be an expert on the NHL, it would have to be intermittent appearances. NHL on TNT will remain for awhile.

[@JaVvii3]

TNT better start using that KZbin Channel for Inside the NBA. That way more people globally are able to watch the show. Not everyone has cable to watch Inside the NBA.

[@bigt4135]

Yes

[@DocYAYAYA]

Chuck such a good dude

[@otherZinc]

I respect Barkley for aspiring to keep his co-workers working.

[@Ken-we4os]

Why can't they just talk about NBA games like they always do. Just like sportscenter or any morning talk show.

[@richsangberg2628]

Love Charles

[@speed6725]

I’m not trying to be negative, but I’ll believe when I see it. A LOT has happen and go right for it to be possible. But like Chuck said, they have a year to figure it out.

[@bandito241]

A year? They have until October at the latest.

[@jmf5246]

I want Chuck to cover F1.

[@Dynomite611]

Chuck was like what that I said about retiring after they showed him the number.

[@cevinfelix3026]

Charles is crazy funny even when you're mad at him

[@MegaFuzz13]

A real G!

Smart move by Turner to keep everyone since you can`t put a price comradery .

[@n.s.3410]

We just wanna see the gang hang out.. they can do movie reviews for all I care. Just do something together.

[@briangrey2459]

damn chuck was willing to take a pay cut thats crazy that means he was willing to just keep what they had going while sacrificing his own worth

[@REE_III]

Charles was on here yapping about retiring just a few weeks ago...lol

[@JitinMisra]

For real, kind of a troll

[@dnakatomiuk]

Rights and licenses and stupid red tape destroy some of the best stuff in life and this show was one of them. Greed is what won not the fans it was players and NBA top brass greed

[@jbudlives]

did anyone catch what Charles #1 priority was????

[@eduardovelez9983]

It’s a great show ! Why would they even consider ending it ? Makes no sense

[@easysnake205]

They can just talk about basketball. Lots of nba KZbinrs just talk about basketball

[@jamstarent21]

It's gonna be Inside the Atlanta Hawks 😂😂

[@d.cconner8327]

I'm thinking they should go the Night Cap (Shannon Sharpe) route-- cover all sports with guests.

[@eyds2215]

You said you gonna retire, be honorable and do it.

[@wootage8434]

Put inside the nba on KZbin. They probably get 1mil subscribers in a few hours

[@JOELY79]

does anyone know what his number 1 priority is by any chance ? 🤣🤣

Shout out to chuck to help save Turner love inside the NBA

[@Rasan619]

I’m thinking they will be on NBA TV.

[@whenmullet2674]

So the show goes on, no idea what it looks like, everyone gets to work, on what no one knows. 5 minutes summed up in one sentence.

[@AntonSlizzardhands]

I think that train left the station and anyone left behind needs to catch the next one to NBC.

[@akingwithwords2144]

I’m confused about the NBA on TNT situation as it pertains to Inside The NBA. I understand they wouldn’t be able to have games on TNT because of the contract expiring, but they can’t have a sports show using highlights and discussing the NBA? Eff the games, I just wanna see the crew talk about the highlights and do funny, ridiculous ish per usual. I can watch the games elsewhere 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@crystalj3617]

How can they continue inside the nba without the nba??? Make it make sense! 🥴🥴

[@tien90802]

One example is First Take talking about the NFL on Sunday when they didnt show any NFL games over the weekend.

[@crystalj3617]

@@tien90802 I don’t think it would work at Turner though because most people tuned in to watch their commentary in real time. The balance of the show and the game is what made it so good, in my opinion.

[@ChaseRiver2]

Why couldn't they just do an hour show that's literally just inside the NBA at the same times as before? Just without showing the game in the middle. Everyone will watch TNT pregame, go to NBC or ESPN for the game, then come back to TNT post game. They don't need a license just to talk about the NBA

[@crystalj3617]

Charles talks in circles 😩😩😩

[@anon2414]

[@rrogers2370]

Yall don’t realize he has a thirst for tail? He needs that in his contract. Probably a young buck.

[@ReubenBarrett1989]

let's be honest here... the least entertaining part of Inside the NBA are the actual basketball games.

[@rrogers2370]

They do get a lotta dud games.

[@bmw128racer]

Keep Barkley and get rid of Shaq. Unless you want to hear him lord over Barkley about his four rings or complain about him getting the MVP shaft from Steve Nash yet again.

[@Hard_7_Iron]

im not sure...but I think Charle's number one priority is to keep Turner employees working. Overall, the NBA became WAY to WOKE for me....But since I love basketball, I'd watch TNT post game show. I think TNT can make it work.

[@suavemente236]

They showed him the money

[@Goat1229]

Turner probably going to get brought out, thus absorbing “ inside “

What will Barkley and the guys actually DO, though? I LOOOVEE Barkley, but I don't know ANYONE who watches that show for ANYTHING except the basketball-based banter. R.I.P. Inside the NBA. Ang I love Barkley, but he keeps repeating himself. Dude needs a vacation.
