It’s a shame this happens.
Charles Barkley spoke his mind on Thursday as his legendary TNT show “Inside the NBA” faces the possibility of being dropped by NBC. Television rights reportedly purchased To the National Basketball Association.
While speaking on “The Dan Patrick Show,” Sir Charles spoke candidly about his bosses at TNT and how they “messed this up.” If the deal goes through, “Inside the NBA,” the iconic basketball show featuring Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, Ernie Johnson and Kenny Smith, will end with next season being its final broadcast.
“Morale is terrible, plain and simple,” Barkley said. “Dan, I feel so bad for the people I work with. They have families. I feel so bad right now. The people I work with obviously screwed this up and I have no idea what’s going to happen.”

Oh man, this really sucks… if this deal goes through, what on earth am I going to watch late on a weekday night?
Speaking of watching sports, Tuesday and Thursday nights are the best. I watch a lot of sports. To be honest, I can’t even remember the last time I missed “Inside the NBA.” I watch a lot of basketball.
So what should we do? What should we do? (RELATED: Cavaliers fire JB Bickerstaff after tough loss to Celtics, but the move doesn’t make any sense: Report)
It’s a great loss for the culture.
