Charles Barkley retiring from Inside the NBA in 2 years

“I’m trying to hang on for another couple years until I’m 60, and then they can kiss my ass. I’m only working until I’m 60,” said Barkley, who turned 58 in February.


Barkley is by far the biggest reason I have watched this show. Before he joined it seemed to be just another run of the mill pre game/post game show, but once he came onboard he completely changed sports television and made Inside the NBA must see TV. If he does leave in two years he's had a hell of a run on television.

This quote stuck out to me the most

“It’s gotten so out of hand… you can’t even have fun now-a-days without these jackasses trying to get you canceled and things like that,” he said. “That’s all we ever talk about behind-the-scenes now is like, ‘Yo man, be careful going in this direction.’ We can’t even have fun anymore. We’ve had fun all these years, and now all of a sudden, in a year and a half, everybody’s trying to get everybody fired, and it really sucks man. Now, if you crack a joke the wrong way, they’re like. ‘Oh, no, no, no, you crossed the line. They won’t even let me talk about San Antonio anymore,” he said, referencing his previous comments about “big ol’ women” in the Spurs’ home city."

Saw this a few hours ago, if he does retire soon then Inside The NBA pretty much becomes unwatchable for me, can't count how many times I've busted out laughing at one of Barkley's jokes, dude is a legit comedian.

EJ and Kenny are both staples, but without Chuck that show wouldn't be the same.

The entertainment value will drop.

Let Draymond Green replace him, he's like 5x better at it anyway

SJWs ruin everything. What an absolute disgrace to be a pathetic, cancel-culture beta male, respected by no one.

We got quite a few on this board tbh.

Sad!

he's the only reason to watch

Barkley is a hardcore democrat and is mad the very people he supports created this cancel culture and PC witch hunt.

can be a democrat without agreeing with everything

That show goes to shit if he leaves. You're left with Shaq's monotone mumbling and Kenny acting like he a top level player in his day and not a, at best, decent player riding Hakeem's coattails to 2 chips.

Get GP and Cwebb in there

I've always been a big Shaq fan, but it's Barkley that makes that show. I hope you change your mind Charles, the fans/viewers love watching you.

I hate Kenny Smith. Dude is a douchebag.
