@@IRequireMedication lol Barkley will have new co-anchors. It is like when Magic Johnson worked for ESPN and did the ABC Sunday Games and NBA Finals halftime and pre-shows on a panel with Bill Simmons, Jalen Rose and Michael Wilson a few years ago. Barkley is boys with the same crew that worked with Magic but he seems more interested in doing nba game shows with others for a streamer like Amazon or Apple because they clearly have the means to pay more maybe compensate him partially or entirely in valuable Apple/Amazon shares.
