The fact that y’all getting guest that no other podcast or show can get and how open and comfortable they are is saying something!!! You guys got something powerful on your hands
Barkley, Shaq and other have been on plenty other podcasts but the thing the pivot does is bring something out of them we’ve never seen in other podcasts, so good!
@@johanzo88 Marshawn lynch, nfl coaches, ric flair, Dana white, Darren Waller, Michael Beasley, alex Rodriguez etc. the pivot getting big time guest on and it’s only been a few months.
@@Kobe8DaGreat24 you negative asf, just because they know each other don’t mean he was on speed dial to show up, im pretty sure they’re all busy and for them to get Charles right after is a blessing. Some of y’all need to stop disbursing negative energy into the atmosphere. Not needed at all
Chuck is my favorite person right now Came from a poor background, got successful in life due to his talent to play the game of basketball but never forget who he is and stayed so real, down to earth, and humble He is truly a role model as a human being
Absolutely!!!! This man is as real as it gets. Not a YES man like most in this world. Has his opinions and not afraid to stand by them. Truly a man who cares and respects others. The heart of Charles is a rarity…….🙏🏼❤️✊🏼🤙🏼
That's because they actually let their guest talk. That's so refreshing. Not to bash "I AM ATHLETE", but Brandon always interrupted. I be like, just let them finish what they're saying.
40:05 when chuck says his name and looks him in the eye to say “you got to handle your own business” that hit home. Something I need to hear in my own life. Chuck’s versatility being the funniest analyst in the world and also able to speak with such power is unmatched! These guys are the best in the game and only getting better!
Bro you have no idea why people march I think you feel from your perspective that you know something that you don't do on the regular you can't speak for a mom my boy
Why would I put it on CNN when the conversation from three people was about marching for different things I mean I'm sure you probably missed it but okay what is the difference between people talking on CNN and people talking here or anywhere to that effect
This is one of the best shows you guys have done. Charles is so right on many levels especially when he says to Channing “you have to be responsible for yourself, the government is not taking care of you”.
But yet THE GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN TAKING CARE OF EVERYONE ELSE BUT DESCENDANTS OF AMERICAN SLAVES IN THIS COUNTRY. GO TH-cam "MLK COMING TO GET OUR CHECK" ENUFF SAID!!!

This is honestly one the of the best shows out right now. All the interviews flow easily, the guest are open and seem comfortable. I was skeptical at first when they decided to split from I Am Athlete, but I see why now. You guys took a more serious approach with the interviews and dive into deeper topics outside of just sports alone. One of the few podcasts I watch from start 2 finish each episode 🔥
Literally the same thing as IAA or any podcast with ex athletes just different personalities bringing themselves out on their own platforms it ain’t that deep lol….just good to get to know these athletes outside of their sports with no filter
I have such respect for this podcast. Somehow this came up in my suggestions and 5 hours later, I was still watching. I became a subscriber tonight as well. Fascinating and enlightening conversations.
Man I love Charles attitude and mentality. He doesn’t shy away from things he believes in and he stands on it. I love that he continues to push the narrative that blacks are so much more than athletes and entertainers. Keep it up chuck!
Congratulations on creating an environment where your guests can talk about things that actually matter. Probably one of the best conversations on such a deep level.

"Black people need economic opportunity" - Mr. Barkley Much respect, we need to honor a man who is not afraid to be his own man. Salute to this amazing podcast again! Loving every episode keep it up Gentlemen! You guys need to know that you are fueling up our community with this great content!
We have ecconomic opportunitiees in this country. The US is the best country in the world for Black people, we just have to take advantage of the opportunities. This is the only county in the world, where you can start off in the bottom 10% and work your way to the top 10%. We all have smart phones and access to the internet. Education and opportunity is in the palm of your hand. We need to get off of social media and spend our time educating ourselves. There is so much money out there but most of us don't know half of the opportunities available to us. Charles said right and I agree 100% with him, if you're waiting on a political party or someone to swoop in and save you"ll be waiting for a long time.
This is by far one of y’all best interviews y’all have done.

Charles Barkley is awesome. He is a real winner not only in the game but in life. Barkley's humor makes it all good. We need more like him. I really enjoyed this video, thank you guys for the excellent work you put in on these super enlightening and entertaining interviews.
OK, this might be my favorite episode. There was a part of the show where Charles and Ryan disagreed on race issues. They both showed how to disagree and DISCUSS without anger and hostility. Much respect RC for showing the media how to LISTEN! He says says the least of you three but when Fred speaks, it's potent. Loves his words today! BTW, don't forget fan appreciation day! You guys are the best! Don't change the show or the team!
That was my favorite part as well. I just wish Charles knew about Tony Timpa. So when Channen asked Charles is there a black george Floyd, he could have told him aboit Timpa, The white guy in Dallas that died the exact same way as Floyd. No cop ever charged or fired
@@work4whatyouwant477 chuck didn't miss the point. Ryan and the others love being able to be the victim and don't like anyone taking that away from them. But to answer their question, yes there is a white George Floyd. TH-cam Tony Timpa. He was the white George Floyd before George Floyd. He is a perfect example of what Chuck is talking about. The media only shows black people bring killed. And they do this because the liberal media and democrat politicians for decades have used and played black folks for political gain. The only oppression black people face today is constantly being told they are victims and they'll never get ahead in life because of their skin color. After looking up Tony Timpa, look up Malcolm X talk about white liberals and democrats. He was preaching what I'm saying way back in the 50s and 60s
@@robertquinney3026 Have a great day Robert. actually truly despise people like you from the bottom of my heart. You don't even deserve the time. Chuck compares white people getting killed by cops to black people getting killed by cops when the MAJOR difference is that the black people die unarmed BECAUSE THEY ARE BLACK. Never because they actually deserved to die. And every time that happens we have WIERDOS like you and Chuck and are QUICK to defend the other side and spit some bullshit out your mouth like "cops kill white people too" Like yea no shit, or "what about black on black crime" We aren't killing each other because we're black, but cops sure do kill innocent black people BECAUSE THEY ARE BLACK and always get away with it. "LoOk At tOnY tImPa" Mfs gotta reach to the depths to find comparisons of cops treating innocent white men the same as the do innocent black men. Then you have the nerve to come here and say Ryan and others are PLAYING VICTIM!?!??? You're sick in the mind and I hope you realize that. You can spew all your Malcom X bullshit and still miss the point. They kill innocent unarmed blacks unlawfully because they are comfortable with it and know they'll get away with it. It's simple
Chuck is funny when he's not trying to be love his Granny stories she was a boss. Her side hustle I can identify with my uncle did the same from his house. Great show PIVOT.
The thing I love about Sir Charles is he is so down to earth, doesn't take himself too seriously despite being rich and really enjoys life to the fullest. Of course he jokes around with anyone but when it comes to serious issues like racism, supporting good police but speaking up on unjust police killings of black men, speaking up on the bad people within his own race he is usually right. What I don't understand is that there are blacks out there who really dislike/ hate him in barber shops I've heard for myself and on other TH-cam channels , etc.
I absolutely loved the open conversation you guys had here. Phenomenal dialogue. Charles was able to express his opinion and what he believed openly and comfortably. Don't get me wrong, we know RC is a smart dude. But man, I really admired Ryan's ability to articulate his thoughts on social justice issues, and the pushback he gave Charles on some of his opinions. Everybody made valuable points. Very healthy conversation you guys had. Keep the heat coming!
I just wish Charles knew about Tony Timpa when he was asked is there a white George Floyd. Because yes. His name is Tony Timpa. Happened 4 years ago in Dallas and was on tape. Look him up
His emotional instability was eye-opening. Hopefully he can get with some people that truly love him and want the best for him AND that he is willing to receive those things
This was an awesome episode. Been watching Charles on TV all my life along with his playing career after he got to PHX. I actually learned new stuff about his life.
That made me laugh too. I'm from South Carolina and my auntie ran a liquor house doing the same thing. The south is universal. The funny thing me and Charles are decades apart and from different state🤣🤣🤣
I’m only 7 minutes in, and this is already one of the best interviews ever. Sir Charles is LEGENDARY. I just wanna sit down at the same table as him and listen to him drop knowledge at the same time as he’s making me cry from laughter.
Chuck is the 🐐. Dude honestly helped me find my personality and helped me talk to people just by watching him. Dudes the only cat that can be unfiltered and still be loved by many and he ain’t bothered by haters. I always struggled talking to people and watching Chuck helped me navigate who i am in the right place
Never thought that a Pod Cast could take Pod Casting to another level. You guy's are rocking. I'm talking about Walk-off, Last second shot, Last minute final drive. You name it. Ya'll are clutch. Keep putting out these Great Interviews. Classics 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
You’ll deserved a primetime segment on tv. This is good stuff! Thanks for bringing Charles Barkley on. Pivot is always worth my time. Keep up the good work.
Man, I find myself agreeing with Charles Barkley a lot in this video. Great to hear more. Pivot letting us all see the other sides of all of these amazing people.
Charles is my Alabama homie. I used to see his mother shopping at the Summit when I worked in B’ham. Charles put Leeds, Alabama on the map and I’m so proud of what he has done for some of the HBCU’s including my daughter’s alma mater, Clark Atlanta University. Hopefully he’ll send a little something to my alma mater Talladega College❤️
I only discovered The Pivot a couple of months ago and Ryan, Fred and Channing have become some of my favorite guys. Because I love the show so much, I'm now back tracking and watching all of the shows I missed. BTW, Chuck, Grandma was the proprietor of a speakeasy and from what you told us, a badass OG. My mother's next-door neighbor ran a speakeasy on the weekend and sometimes they would party so hard the stomping and clapping would literally shake our house (after getting a little inebriated, several of the OG's thought they were musicians. LOL!!!).
Trying?!?! I just found out about Marshalls the other day when my brother gave me the history of these guys other pod cause I been so hooked onto the pivot. Yea B Marshall luv everythibg u did for my seahawks when u was oit thr in the end years. But, these dudes the truth!
I don't think so...they have a CLEAR VISION of their mission and they're being TRUE to themselves. The just took the authenticity they brought to IAA and poured gasoline on it. The Pivot is the REAL MVP in podcasting 🏆🏆🏆
I feel you Chuck. I left NC at 17 and went to Philly. Change my life and outlook quick fast. I was able to adapt. Lived there for 7 years with my now wife and kids.
The Pivot has to be one of the only shows that can take people you either all ready loved or knew about but didn't know the whole story and make you love them even more!
Brother Barkley was on point when he said we haven't been thru !The greatest statement I have heard came from my Uncle Stephen when describing the Civik Rights struggle.He said the diffence between now and then is the Fight was out in the open then!
Charles Barkley is the most entertaining sports analyst on TV. Inside The NBA always cheers me up. I wish Charles Barkley had social media. Great interview! He's never shy to say how he feels.
In my youth I was a Detroit "Bad Boys" era fan. Those guys captured my attention as a child. That was until Barkley got traded to PHX. I instantly became a Suns fan, when everyone loved MJ nd the Bulls. That run they had with KJ, DAN, DANNY X 2, and more was phenomenal. The finals against the Bulls was heartbreaking.
Immediate click when I saw Charles Barkley on the show! Chuck is just a great guy, and really has a lot of wisdom. And I feel lucky to have been a kid at the time Jordan, Barkley, Magic, Bird, Malone, Stockton were all in the league, and as a Pacers fan, my all-time favorite, Reggie Miller!
Imagine if they bring both Shaq and Charles back, Channing and Ryan would be acting wild like Kenny and Fred would be trying to keep the show on track like Ernie. And us, we would just be watching enjoying the show. Great show fellas! See yall next week!
The Pivot is thee show. All guests come here and give the pivot the real them. You three guy got something special with this show. It’s not just football players it’s sport in general. Love what this show has to offer love what y’all are doing.
This is the first interview I've heard Charles Barkley just really get off into it. You gentlemen have a great thing going . Everyone plays their part well. Teamwork makes da dream work !! God bless. We will be waiting & watching 4 da next one . KEEP GRINDING !!!
To have conversation such as this is important for OUR community! Whether we agree or disagree on his view it’s all important. That’s the only way we’ll be able to come together with a common denominator of being done fairly. Be it our own race doing US wrong or another. Much respect to these Black Kings for allowing the conversation and engaging. Being a mother of 3 Black Kings it was very refreshing & enlightening to visually be apart of this. THANK YOU‼️
Proud to be here from the start cause yall some monsters. Yall skipping levels and coming up super fast, great energy. Love that the camera going to Fred more to see his reaction to the guests, usually it Channing and RC but maybe that's due to his comfort level with whoever shows up.
Charles talks about voting Democratic his whole life but his neighborhood still being poor; being from Alabama, which political party runs local/state government in Alabama? It's not the Democrats!!
The Pivot quickly grew to be my favorite podcast to listen to/watch. The dynamic of the hosts and the selection of guests always makes for great entertainment! Looking forward to each episode
Fred is the king of pivoting. 6:55. Enough said. Fred kept the interview with Cam Newton extremely interesting and allowed that episode to flow seamlessly which contributed to I AM Athletes rapid success. Brandon should have seen that.
I love this episode, cause THIS is what we need in our community. Conversations without people getting mad an upset. Hands down Pivot is my favorite podcast. Keep it up guys huge fan
Thank you guys for having my favorite player on the Pivot, Charles Barkley. When you look at his stats and his size compared to anyone who has ever played the game, he is one of a kind. Coach Daily was correct only MJ was better than Charles.
Charles this gave me a new respect for you to tell your truth you never thought you would make it and you became one of the greatest basketball players of all time salute you my brother
VERY important dialogue surrounding the “I’m not a role model” commercial. As an aspiring attorney who once thought that the NFL was the only way to make it back when I played football, I can vouch that the mentality was so hard to fight through just to find that sense of self worth. It’s absolutely important for black & gifted role models to also be found outside of entertainment.
My favorite athlete growing up. He had that same attitude like in that commercial as in real life. He often talked about playing basketball in not the greatest light vs other high skilled professions.
Can we just give it up to Freddy T and Channing for showing they are the ones that were the major attraction on I am athlete, have brought it to the Pivot, brought RC and have elevated and showcased their amazing convos and chemistry. The numbers speak for they self!!
The fact that y’all getting guest that no other podcast or show can get and how open and comfortable they are is saying something!!! You guys got something powerful on your hands
Barkley, Shaq and other have been on plenty other podcasts but the thing the pivot does is bring something out of them we’ve never seen in other podcasts, so good!

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Charles Barkley is awesome. He is a real winner not only in the game but in life. Barkley's humor makes it all good. We need more like him. I really enjoyed this video, thank you guys for the excellent work you put in on these super enlightening and entertaining interviews.
OK, this might be my favorite episode. There was a part of the show where Charles and Ryan disagreed on race issues. They both showed how to disagree and DISCUSS without anger and hostility. Much respect RC for showing the media how to LISTEN! He says says the least of you three but when Fred speaks, it's potent. Loves his words today! BTW, don't forget fan appreciation day! You guys are the best! Don't change the show or the team!
💯
I'm glad Ryan was there to stop Chucks rambling on this topic.....Chuck is too smart to pretend to miss the point with these topics
That was my favorite part as well. I just wish Charles knew about Tony Timpa. So when Channen asked Charles is there a black george Floyd, he could have told him aboit Timpa, The white guy in Dallas that died the exact same way as Floyd. No cop ever charged or fired
@@work4whatyouwant477 chuck didn't miss the point. Ryan and the others love being able to be the victim and don't like anyone taking that away from them. But to answer their question, yes there is a white George Floyd. TH-cam Tony Timpa. He was the white George Floyd before George Floyd. He is a perfect example of what Chuck is talking about. The media only shows black people bring killed. And they do this because the liberal media and democrat politicians for decades have used and played black folks for political gain. The only oppression black people face today is constantly being told they are victims and they'll never get ahead in life because of their skin color. After looking up Tony Timpa, look up Malcolm X talk about white liberals and democrats. He was preaching what I'm saying way back in the 50s and 60s
@@robertquinney3026 Have a great day Robert. actually truly despise people like you from the bottom of my heart. You don't even deserve the time. Chuck compares white people getting killed by cops to black people getting killed by cops when the MAJOR difference is that the black people die unarmed BECAUSE THEY ARE BLACK. Never because they actually deserved to die. And every time that happens we have WIERDOS like you and Chuck and are QUICK to defend the other side and spit some bullshit out your mouth like "cops kill white people too" Like yea no shit, or "what about black on black crime" We aren't killing each other because we're black, but cops sure do kill innocent black people BECAUSE THEY ARE BLACK and always get away with it. "LoOk At tOnY tImPa" Mfs gotta reach to the depths to find comparisons of cops treating innocent white men the same as the do innocent black men. Then you have the nerve to come here and say Ryan and others are PLAYING VICTIM!?!??? You're sick in the mind and I hope you realize that. You can spew all your Malcom X bullshit and still miss the point. They kill innocent unarmed blacks unlawfully because they are comfortable with it and know they'll get away with it. It's simple
The Pivot has something special. These guys are changing the face and culture of the sports podcast. I love it.
I have to agree with you, it's definitely something special that we are witnessing.
Chuck is funny when he's not trying to be love his Granny stories she was a boss. Her side hustle I can identify with my uncle did the same from his house. Great show PIVOT.
@30:45 Spot on with Ryan!! Couldn't agree more on this issue, well explained. 👏🏽👏🏽
The thing I love about Sir Charles is he is so down to earth, doesn't take himself too seriously despite being rich and really enjoys life to the fullest. Of course he jokes around with anyone but when it comes to serious issues like racism, supporting good police but speaking up on unjust police killings of black men, speaking up on the bad people within his own race he is usually right. What I don't understand is that there are blacks out there who really dislike/ hate him in barber shops I've heard for myself and on other TH-cam channels , etc.
Chuck has 2 emmys with as many people love him and his candidness as a black man... you already know
I absolutely loved the open conversation you guys had here. Phenomenal dialogue. Charles was able to express his opinion and what he believed openly and comfortably. Don't get me wrong, we know RC is a smart dude. But man, I really admired Ryan's ability to articulate his thoughts on social justice issues, and the pushback he gave Charles on some of his opinions. Everybody made valuable points. Very healthy conversation you guys had. Keep the heat coming!
I just wish Charles knew about Tony Timpa when he was asked is there a white George Floyd. Because yes. His name is Tony Timpa. Happened 4 years ago in Dallas and was on tape. Look him up
Let’s Go Ryan!!!!!!!! You are a real 1!!!! Thank you for pushing back! Love it man. Couldn’t agree more!
I love Charles’s honesty.. we have to kill the victim mentality and strive to be the best version of ourselves
@Ludovic Breixo there ya go.. Victimhood is killing the community.. we gotta call out what’s real and progress from it.. I Always keep it real 👌🏾
@@vg1024 the victims will continue getting ran over 😀
Facts! I'm 61 and don't recall our people begging and crying like they are today! Take care.
@@u.s.n.retired1995 Amen and thank u 😌
@Zizou_98 What an ignorant statement.
Best podcast out there. I love what y’all doing. What y’all did for Michael Beasley! Life changing stuff
facts... I'm hoping to see Michael Beasley playing for the BIG3
His emotional instability was eye-opening. Hopefully he can get with some people that truly love him and want the best for him AND that he is willing to receive those things
This was an awesome episode. Been watching Charles on TV all my life along with his playing career after he got to PHX. I actually learned new stuff about his life.
Charles Barkley's grandma stories made me smile and laugh.
That made me laugh too. I'm from South Carolina and my auntie ran a liquor house doing the same thing. The south is universal. The funny thing me and Charles are decades apart and from different state🤣🤣🤣
Y'all bring the heat every episode. Keep it up because y'all killin the podcast game. 🔥
Glad Fred and channing left I am athlete
I’m only 7 minutes in, and this is already one of the best interviews ever. Sir Charles is LEGENDARY. I just wanna sit down at the same table as him and listen to him drop knowledge at the same time as he’s making me cry from laughter.
Better enjoy that 7 minutes, brotha lol
Chuck is the 🐐. Dude honestly helped me find my personality and helped me talk to people just by watching him.
Dudes the only cat that can be unfiltered and still be loved by many and he ain’t bothered by haters.
I always struggled talking to people and watching Chuck helped me navigate who i am in the right place
He doesn’t care what others think of him and you shouldn’t either. That’s the key!
Never thought that a Pod Cast could take Pod Casting to another level. You guy's are rocking. I'm talking about Walk-off, Last second shot, Last minute final drive. You name it. Ya'll are clutch. Keep putting out these Great Interviews. Classics 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
You’ll deserved a primetime segment on tv. This is good stuff! Thanks for bringing Charles Barkley on. Pivot is always worth my time. Keep up the good work.
I've meet Charles B. at the Philadelphia airport years ago and he's supremely nice and down to Earth!
Great job, Pivot!
Man, I find myself agreeing with Charles Barkley a lot in this video. Great to hear more. Pivot letting us all see the other sides of all of these amazing people.
This episode hit many different great aspects… sports, todays social topics, Charles history, etc etc … super easy to listen to 👍🏽
Pivot killing these interviews! Love seeing these athletes be themselves without all the tv/corporate self sensoring they have to do
S/O to Charles Barkley man! Upfront, honest, caring, and most importantly supports his community! One of the GOATS on TV. Excellent episode!
Chuck with the fake sip of the “seltzer” was hilarious 😂😂
Charles is my Alabama homie. I used to see his mother shopping at the Summit when I worked in B’ham. Charles put Leeds, Alabama on the map and I’m so proud of what he has done for some of the HBCU’s including my daughter’s alma mater, Clark Atlanta University. Hopefully he’ll send a little something to my alma mater Talladega College❤️
These are dialogues that we should have as people. Shout out to Sir Charles. I respect a person who is unapologetic themselves!
I only discovered The Pivot a couple of months ago and Ryan, Fred and Channing have become some of my favorite guys. Because I love the show so much, I'm now back tracking and watching all of the shows I missed. BTW, Chuck, Grandma was the proprietor of a speakeasy and from what you told us, a badass OG. My mother's next-door neighbor ran a speakeasy on the weekend and sometimes they would party so hard the stomping and clapping would literally shake our house (after getting a little inebriated, several of the OG's thought they were musicians. LOL!!!).
Love how they sit down and it feels like they’re talking on topics that are relevant. Hits home.
GIVE THE PIVOT AN ACADEMY AWARD
Barkley is a living Legend! Every interview/episode/etc that features him is always enjoyable.
Yall are trying to bury B. Marshall's podcast. Yall killing it.
They have. If they get Shannon Sharpe, it’s over…
Yeah... we all attended the funeral after that Steve interview lol
Trying?!?! I just found out about Marshalls the other day when my brother gave me the history of these guys other pod cause I been so hooked onto the pivot. Yea B Marshall luv everythibg u did for my seahawks when u was oit thr in the end years. But, these dudes the truth!
I don't think so...they have a CLEAR VISION of their mission and they're being TRUE to themselves. The just took the authenticity they brought to IAA and poured gasoline on it. The Pivot is the REAL MVP in podcasting 🏆🏆🏆
Chuck is gold, great episode. It was a blessing y'all left the other show. Chemistry is great!
I feel you Chuck. I left NC at 17 and went to Philly. Change my life and outlook quick fast. I was able to adapt. Lived there for 7 years with my now wife and kids.
What part of NC? I'm from the 919
@@blackice3395 me too g. 919. Lived all over Nc. In Goldsboro now. Small spot outside Raleigh
May God bless you and your fam bruh
@@ebn128 thank you my brother. Yours as well.
The crew never ceases to amaze me with the great guests they have
Stumbled upon pivot podcast and y’all are the best. Entertaining, great question, conversation always keeps moving, awesome!
“You can have all the good intention you want, but black people need economic opportunities.”
Mouth Full!
Great episode! I love Charles
The Pivot has to be one of the only shows that can take people you either all ready loved or knew about but didn't know the whole story and make you love them even more!
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Then chann comes in and asks if chuck is still stroking it haha this really is the best podcast
One of my favorite Podcast ever. Keep up the great work gents 🍻🍻🍻
Brother Barkley was on point when he said we haven't been thru !The greatest statement I have heard came from my Uncle Stephen when describing the Civik Rights struggle.He said the diffence between now and then is the Fight was out in the open then!
You guys are killin it!! Y’all bring such an open minded presence which allows your guest to feel comfortable.. The Ora is unmatched
Luv the way you all allowing the guest to flow with story energy ..... You all add in absolutely at the right times .... Phenomenal podcast 👍🏾👍🏾💯
Charles Barkley is the most entertaining sports analyst on TV. Inside The NBA always cheers me up. I wish Charles Barkley had social media. Great interview! He's never shy to say how he feels.
In my youth I was a Detroit "Bad Boys" era fan. Those guys captured my attention as a child. That was until Barkley got traded to PHX. I instantly became a Suns fan, when everyone loved MJ nd the Bulls. That run they had with KJ, DAN, DANNY X 2, and more was phenomenal. The finals against the Bulls was heartbreaking.
I was a Barkley fan then too my favorite player
Man this was a great podcast. A lot of knowledge and wisdom around the table here. 👏
Immediate click when I saw Charles Barkley on the show! Chuck is just a great guy, and really has a lot of wisdom. And I feel lucky to have been a kid at the time Jordan, Barkley, Magic, Bird, Malone, Stockton were all in the league, and as a Pacers fan, my all-time favorite, Reggie Miller!
u right
old ah nih
@Espo78 illegal ah bih🌮
Imagine if they bring both Shaq and Charles back, Channing and Ryan would be acting wild like Kenny and Fred would be trying to keep the show on track like Ernie. And us, we would just be watching enjoying the show. Great show fellas! See yall next week!
The Pivot is thee show. All guests come here and give the pivot the real them. You three guy got something special with this show. It’s not just football players it’s sport in general. Love what this show has to offer love what y’all are doing.
One of the best eps yet!! Best interview Chuck has given in a hot minute!! Keep pushin’ fellas! RC you were on point fam!! 👊🏾
This is the first interview I've heard Charles Barkley just really get off into it. You gentlemen have a great thing going . Everyone plays their part well. Teamwork makes da dream work !! God bless. We will be waiting & watching 4 da next one . KEEP GRINDING !!!
To have conversation such as this is important for OUR community! Whether we agree or disagree on his view it’s all important. That’s the only way we’ll be able to come together with a common denominator of being done fairly. Be it our own race doing US wrong or another. Much respect to these Black Kings for allowing the conversation and engaging. Being a mother of 3 Black Kings it was very refreshing & enlightening to visually be apart of this. THANK YOU‼️
Charles Barkley another Legend straight no chaser 💪🏽💪🏽....The Pivot you guys are Real Deal keep up the GOOD WORK.....Another good show
Proud to be here from the start cause yall some monsters. Yall skipping levels and coming up super fast, great energy. Love that the camera going to Fred more to see his reaction to the guests, usually it Channing and RC but maybe that's due to his comfort level with whoever shows up.
Charles talks about voting Democratic his whole life but his neighborhood still being poor; being from Alabama, which political party runs local/state government in Alabama? It's not the Democrats!!
The Pivot quickly grew to be my favorite podcast to listen to/watch. The dynamic of the hosts and the selection of guests always makes for great entertainment! Looking forward to each episode
Fred is the king of pivoting. 6:55. Enough said. Fred kept the interview with Cam Newton extremely interesting and allowed that episode to flow seamlessly which contributed to I AM Athletes rapid success. Brandon should have seen that.
His ego blinded him lol
Excellent discourse. Thanks.
I love this episode, cause THIS is what we need in our community. Conversations without people getting mad an upset. Hands down Pivot is my favorite podcast. Keep it up guys huge fan
I've never enjoyed a podcast so much until the Pivot. Nuff Respect fellas!
“Shaq is very sensitive.” Few truer words have ever been spoken 🤣🤣
Thank you guys for having my favorite player on the Pivot, Charles Barkley. When you look at his stats and his size compared to anyone who has ever played the game, he is one of a kind. Coach Daily was correct only MJ was better than Charles.
Third week in a row and I'm still gotta say it. Get these dudes to a MiLLION SUBS! Favorite podcast hands down
THEY WILL, BEFORE THE SUMMER ENDS IT'S GOING TO BE OVER 1 MILLION...BET!!!
@@ms.carpenter7793 I hope so! They deserve it!!
Charles this gave me a new respect for you to tell your truth you never thought you would make it and you became one of the greatest basketball players of all time salute you my brother
VERY important dialogue surrounding the “I’m not a role model” commercial. As an aspiring attorney who once thought that the NFL was the only way to make it back when I played football, I can vouch that the mentality was so hard to fight through just to find that sense of self worth. It’s absolutely important for black & gifted role models to also be found outside of entertainment.
to this day .... people still miss the WHOLE point of that commercial. i understood it from DAY 1 (i was old enough to understand).
My favorite athlete growing up. He had that same attitude like in that commercial as in real life. He often talked about playing basketball in not the greatest light vs other high skilled professions.
Love this Charles "No Filter" Barkley! This is going to be real.
He never filters. That's why I love him.
I like how y’all had this conversation
“Better enjoy them 7 minutes” is the quote of the day 😂😂😭😭
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This type of platform is perfect for Charles Barkley. He's very comfortable with himself and speaks freely.
FACTS - The Pivot is becoming the platform for everyone!!!
I love this podcast. Great job men. Awesome guest.
Y’all crushing it!! 📈
Can we just give it up to Freddy T and Channing for showing they are the ones that were the major attraction on I am athlete, have brought it to the Pivot, brought RC and have elevated and showcased their amazing convos and chemistry. The numbers speak for they self!!
Facts!!! They them ones!
