Charles: I don't shame fat people

[@javianjohnson8746]

Crazy to see even Adam Silver admit that the all star game is so bad to the point that he doesn't even see it being competitive anymore

[@elmiguel1405]

Talk to him about refs betting on every game

[@pacoseventeen]

Nobody worried about ESPN but long live NBA on TNT

[@d.9258]

Gayle maybe stop interrupting constantly

[@crug218]

Gayle needs to let him finish speaking.

[@joved1662]

When the Commissioner says “we are pass that point of playing a competitive game…” Its time to stop watching.

[@Texan45]

16 minutes on the air...not 1 mention of the horrendous officiating.

[@filipppk3961]

Not looking good when the commissioner of the NBA says they are beyond having a competitive All-Star game.

[@lemongavine]

2001 All Star game was incredible. Iverson and Marbury went off to mount a huge comeback win

[@lovetownsend]

The problem with All-Star game is it's a dream scenario.... OMG the best players on same team going against each other?! Sounds like a videogame... but then no one plays, no one takes it serious. One of biggest disappointments in sports.

[@transphoria]

Y'all say chuck ain't afraid to speak the truth yet he fails to ask the biggest issue of all with the bad refs.

[@Fellow287]

SHUP UP GAYLE. You’re interrupting everything. Omggggg. Literally ruined the interview in most important parts 🙄

[@TheLionaaa]

The problem is there's no limit to how much the NBA is willing to sacrifice the integrity of the game for money consideration. Silver has to realize the NBA has a legacy as well from a basketball perspective. David Stern loved the game, Silver ? I think he only loves the players and want to please them and that's not good enough.

[@high-defRJ]

I loved Charles' questions: it was straight forward, no BS, and trying to hold Adam Silver responsible. You can just tell Barkley loves basketball, but also be critical like he always does, and have that luster that the game had compared to this "soft as a tissue" era.

[@scottichniowski3106]

Gayle king knowing nothing about basketball and doing zero research is obnoxious why is she speaking ?

[@iirepp]

Gayle’s gotta stop interrupting sheesh

[@Lee-tj8km]

didnt even touch the gambling issue

[@nanagyambibi7426]

I actually think the issue can be fixed with adjusting the break schedule. Nobody works hard the day before vacation. So the break should be before the game not after. All teams are done with games before the break on Sunday. Give players Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday off and then allstar weekend begins on Friday as normally scheduled. Monday is another off day to report to your next city, then Tuesday regular season resumes.

No issue with how much players make. Just that they can’t play 82 games WHILE making their income.
