Inside The NBA and Charles Barkley sounds better when said in one sentence. The former NBA legend has been there on the show for over two decades. Chuck is currently navigating a crucial moment in his career as the beloved show prepares for a transition to ESPN and ABC starting in the 2025-26 season.

During a recent appearance on The Dan Patrick Show, Barkley expressed his indecision regarding the potential move. The legendary analyst indicated that he needs more clarity on what his future role will entail. Having signed a lucrative 10-year, $210 million contract extension with Warner Bros. Discovery to stay with TNT, Barkley said he is exploring all options, including engagements with NBC and Amazon.

“I haven’t decided yet. I’m listening to NBC and Amazon and want to know everything that’s on the table for me before I sign in. I love those guys for ESPN and if we end up there, I’m gonna do the best I possibly can,” Barkley told Patrick on his show.

Charles Barkley’s hesitation in openly deciding which way he wants to go has a lot to do with the network’s future plans. The recent jolt has clearly led to him feeling unsettled about his next venture. Barkley is keen on ensuring that he does not spread himself too thin by juggling multiple networks. He has made it clear that he wouldn’t entertain doing shows for both ESPN and TNT simultaneously.

While talking about Detroit’s second unsuccessful onside kick attempt with just a few seconds remaining on the clock, Johnson exposed Campbell’s team for their dirty tactics.

“[They did] whole lotta pulling, a whole lotta pinching,” he told reporters after the game, “putting fingers where they not supposed to be and all that stuff.
