Ernie is a Georgia lifer. Even if another studio offered more money, he wouldn't want to travel to NY or LA to do a studio show. Having NBA on TNT in Atlanta was perfect for him since his whole life is there. He does March Madness in NY only for 2 weeks out of the year
I dont always agree with Charles….but I always appreciate his honesty. Maybe because I’m old…but Charles is and always will be the NBA to me. I like those new glasses.
Both Dan Patrick and Charles Barkley are sports legends. I have absolutely loved everything they've done. I can't imagine sports without either of them.
@@US_ARMY_25_INF._DIV. that intro music CBS had before the NBA Finals is all time iconic, especially when Brent Musburger gave the storyline over the music. Still give me goosebumps to this day.
Nice to try picking Chuck about future network contracts, if anything changes. Barkley was 100% professional on every answer, including the old one about Isiah and MJ back in the days of the Dream Team.
I don’t care what anyone says the NBA’s views will go down even further if they drop TNT & go under peacock’s paywall. They’re risking going the way of baseball. It’s insanity to me.
If Turner allowed the exclusive negotiating window to lapse, it’s more likely than not they won’t match NBC’s offer, and Inside the NBA as we know, is all but done.
Man, I love Chuck. With all these NBA rights rumors and reports I hope he gets the back and keeps doing it for many more years. I know he said he’d quit at 65, but not if he’s paid right!😂
Steph Curry has changed basketball forever. In my opinion The GREATEST shooter in NBA history, and I'm a huge Ray Allen/,Jesus Shuttlesworth fan. That said. I am a Lifelong Detroit Pistons fan and I saw Isaiah Thomas and The Bad Boys in person more than once and I 💯 with Charles Barkley on this one. Isaiah Thomas was the GREATEST point guard in NBA history. Steph is a 1A if you will. I know Steph has more rings but I believe that Championships are an organizational accomplishment.
Yeah, but Isiah won back to back titles as the unquestioned #1 with Joe Dumars, as his #2 teammate. No disrespect to Joe, who was a very good to great all time shooting guard, but Steph won his titles with Klay Thompson (a greater all-time shooting guard imo) and Kevin Durant for two of those four titles. Isiah also had to go through Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and this guy named Michael Jordan when he was in his young prime, to get to his titles.
@@US_ARMY_25_INF._DIV. old enough to have seen Isaiah play and old enough to know no one has ever shot like Steph. And to be clear, steph isn't my favorite, I just think he's better.
@@cptsketch13 So Steph is better player than IT because he’s a better shooter? That’s all it boils down to? Isiah was a better point guard, floor leader, team, leader, defender and competitor. And I will go as far to say that his all-around scoring ability was at least slightly better than Steph’s. Seriously, other than shooting, what could Curry definitively do better on a basketball court BETTER than prime Zeke?
“Has Patrick Beverly played his last game in the NBA?” Lmao yeah Dan I’m sure he will be banned/blackballed for that while legitimate domestic abusers in the league like Bridges continue to play
Again with the Thomas thing. The NBA knew the Dream Team was going to win the gold medal.in a walk. The strategy was to present the team to the world in its best light. No one gave a damn about playing time. They all got along. You put Thomas on that team full of leaders and the first thing he does is try to insert his will. Chuck Daly was the coach. If he wanted his own point guard on that team seems like he would have put his foot down.
All that sounds great, but if the goal was to put together the greatest collection of players on a team that defines “dream team” there is no conceivable excuse to not have Isiah on there. From 88 to 92, he literally led his team to 3 straight NBA finals and back 2 back titles and a controversial Bill Lambier foul on Kareem in game 6 of the 88 finals from being the first team since Russell’s Celtics to win 3 in a row, before MJ, whom his team beat 3 years in a row in route to those finals appearances. Zeke should’ve been the 4th name selected for that team, behind MJ, Magic and Bird.
David Zaslav is a terrible CEO. He increased his salary 26%, but the stocks for WBD has fallen to $7 a share. If they lose the NBA, that'll be it for their company.
Before the season started he said the Lakers were a contender lol...I thought the Lakers were a huge upgrade from the previous year but I wasn't ready to go out and say they were a "contender"... based on nothing and based on ADs history is disappearing in games and Lebron's lack of competitiveness and defense...yet we are the ones "who don't know anything about basketball."
When the Pacers fall in 6 Chuck will say they were too young and Brunson was too good. Objectively, that is the case now and will be the case after the series is over.
I love the TNT crew. Ernie is the fixture & the Shaq, Kenny, Charles contributions are fun & I have fond memories of their careeres as players. I don't watch any ESPN coverage as it's so horrendously bad. Disney Co. ruins virtually everything nowday. K. Perkins is the opitomy of subtle entitlement, racism & division. He sucks!
@@silewis9396 did he win those titles alone? He had huge help...I don't measure things by titles alone...I'm talking about his individual play on the defensive end...I can't get with guys that hide on defense.
It’s easy for Chuck to say that, but if a woman had a gun to his head or his life was in danger, or his family’s life was in danger to a woman, would he still hold to that frame of thinking? 🤔 but let’s all pretend that these scenarios never exist, or that women don’t ever put their hands on men in a violent way 😒
Barkley will never pick the Knicks to win any series under any circumstance. His dislike for the Knicks is always on display. Siakim and Halliburton are not even close to Embid and Maxey. Man be a independent analyst. Stop holding your feelings and bias
It’s so tiring hearing that line, ‘if he’s healthy…’ We’re done with that excuse, he’s always hurt. Not faulting him for the injuries but it is what it is.
Love you Chuck but Lakers didn’t need the play in to make it into the playoffs. If we were still using the old system they would have just been the 7th seed. Also Lakers didnt lose their play in game this year. Come on…😂
Darvin Hamm is a good coach?...you mean assistant coach ....cause he hasn't been successful in L.A....ONE, because lebrick was the coach and in charge there...keep Hamm and get rid of lebum, then we'll see how good a head coach Hamm is
Chuck says he ONLY gambles with endorsement money, not his real salary. Besides money he donates every year, he had the same houses for 30 years and drives a Kia!!!😂😂😂
I love Charles, but hes wrong about Darvin Ham, guy is clueless , a really bad coach. Both things can be true - LBJ is a diva firing coaches and Ham is a bad coach... it was bound to happen - firing a bad coach after firing number of good ones.
First off.. lakers have never lost in the play in.. chuck let’s get our facts. Warriors lost twice already. Let’s stop acting like warriors lakers similar spots.. one went to wcf and lost to champs.. the other lost to the lakers last yr and missed playoffs this yr.
They were 1 game apart. If the Warriors had made it in, they would've lost to the Nuggets in a Gentlemans sweep too. None of that changes the fact that their players are old and past their prime.
It's nerve wrecking for everybody. His exact words. There is over 100 people working on that set. Only 4 of them got money. So yes it's nerv wrecking. He doesn't give a f..k just as he said. F...ng idiot.
I wish this interview was an hour. These two are great together.

I could listen to Chuck for days on end!
There is a fee people I can listen to over and over again, Chuck is one of them no question, speaks from the heart
Shaq and Charles need to stay together forever, they are a force together!!
Charles and Kenny had great chemistry in the 2000s.
Both Dan Patrick and Charles Barkley are sports legends. I have absolutely loved everything they've done. I can't imagine sports without either of them.
Amen
NBA on NBC was great back in the 90’s…wouldn’t mind seeing it again
Ernie wouldn’t be there so the rest may not want to go
I always enjoy your interviews with Charles. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom every day!!!!!
Time after time love Chuck. So honest and such a good person. No BS or phoniness.
Always good to see Chuck on..here or anywhere.
If more people in high places were like charles this country would be in a lot better place
Charles always answers the question at least times in a row...

Add him as a write-in!
