He is the only reason I would ever watch basketball.
Charles and Shack are a great TV combo.

You really didn't watch him because you wouldn't say he was boring, that show is entertaining. Charles is so quick and witty, a little too political for me, but he is funny.

Even back in 2000, he was bringing the humour.

Well he made lots of money, time to relax and enjoy life.

For Charles Barkley, save this prediction: He loves this too much to retire

Over the years, Charles Barkley has flirted with retirement more than once. But he's also shown that he loves people and the spotlight.

NBA is negotiating new media contracts and its uncertain whether TNT will be a part of the deal. Thats why he claims to be retiring AFTER 2025. And BTW, it's the 3rd time he claims to be retiring. He is never ever retiring

You seem to know a lot for a person that "Couldnt care a farthing.".

Relax? No, no, no. He signed on with CNN for 10 years, $200 million in 2022. He has 8 years left of being a mainstream media puppet and he was doing that well before 2022.

Just as I predicted, Barkley now says he is not retiring. But what he will actually be doing at TNT is not clear since TNT was not part of the newly negotiated NBA contract.
Amazon is going to be paying $1.8 billion annually and TNT apparently failed to match terms of contract. TNT is suing the NBA claiming it did indeed match the terms.
NBC is also a new partner in the deal and will be using that to sign customers for their streaming service Peacock.
