Charles Barkley Says Morale Sucks Amid The Uncertainty Of 'Inside The NBA' Moving Forward | 5/23/24

Hall of Famer Charles Barkley joins the Dan Patrick Show and discusses the uncertainty of "Inside the NBA" moving forward amid reports that TNT might lose its NBA broadcasting rights as well as what he might do to try to keep the show going if TNT does lose the TV contract

Charles Shaq and Ernie could broadcast from a basement and pull more numbers than TNT.

The Inside guys should come out a "Outside the NBA" and everyone will laugh and support!

[stuartholden]

I appreciate Chuck's frankness: breath of fresh air.

[BkBk-gyvr]

How foolish can you be to let go of the number one show. Shame on TNT

[RyanMork]

“We don’t need the NBA” will age like milk. This will go down as a historic whiff by TNT. These guys are winning Emmy’s and TNT thinks they don’t need them.

I ride with Ernie Kenny chuck and Shaq

I like that Charles takes no prisoners. He's willing to call the people he works for "clowns" and he's right, so nobody can really get mad at Chuckster for saying that. Inside the NBA being forced off the air is a lot like NBC ousting Conan O'Brien from the Tonight show. But what Conan did is take his talent (and his entire crew) to a new network. Conan paid his staff when they were all jobless. I hope that Chuck, Shaq, Kenny, and Ernie do make their own show, even just a podcast, on their own should TNT lose the NBA. Why do all the good things have to be discontinued? 😭😭

This better not be the end for Inside The NBA, smh best halftime show of all sports

[gkluang]

Forget about Stephen A and Shanon, I'll rather watch Shaq, CB, Ernie and Kenny all day

[stuarcl]

The little interest I have in the NBA is largely due to watching Inside the NBA. Might be the best show on tv right now. Wish those guys would do a football show or college basketball show.

[Tulip]

This is the best crew for nba commentary. Nobody is trying to listen to Steven A Smith ramble on at half time.

[daveclark]

Warner Bros is going to take Chuck's advice about the Mercedes. They didn't buy the rights to the NBA because they can't afford it.

[mikeomalley]

Sucks to hear this, but also encouraging that Charles is so up in arms about it. Clearly he still has the desire to keep the good times going, hopefully the other three do as well.

[Rodrok]

NBA will never be the same without you. Love your work. Love you all.

[dmitrysmolyanitsky]

Zaslav is one of the worst CEOs. He has been WB CEO since May 2021. Since that time, he has done nothing good. He canceled many beloclved shows and killed many good completed projects. Now, he fumbled the NBA. Worst yet, during his tenure, the WB stock went from $37 to $8. A chimp can do a similar if not a better job.

[reginaldperiwinkle]

NBA on TNT might be the funniest show being broadcast today. This is crazy.

[sammymorales]

Charles, Shaq, Kenny and Earnie should start a podcasts and stream it during games, they would get more views than the games

[seannemetz]

I would 1000% support the Inside the NBA crew going out on their own

[garylivingston]

Get Draymond Green off there! that cannot be helping ratings.

[SolidSerpents]

Seeing Draymond on this great show is bringing my morale down as well. Sad for all of us.
