Fans are still waiting to hear a definitive answer when it comes to the fate of TNT’s Inside the NBA amid business negotiations between the league and entertainment entities. As it stands, it would appear that Warner Bros. Discovery (the cable network’s parent company) will lose the broadcast rights to the professional basketball league after next season.
That news alone is shocking enough, but co-host Charles Barkley delivered some major news about a week ago. Barkley revealed he’s planning to retire from broadcasting this time next year regardless of what happens with the long-running talk show. Now, some players and pundits are weighing in, and one of the people to share thoughts is Draymond Green – who shared a bit of a rivalry with Barkley.
The Golden State Warriors power forward has had a “complex” relationship with Charles Barkley over the years, to say the least. He broke it down during the latest installment of his podcast, The Draymond Green Show (which is shared on YouTube ). While reacting to the former NBA MVP’s retirement announcement, Green looked back on the interactions that he and Barkley have had over the years.
And he didn’t shy away from discussing the somewhat tense moments they’ve shared: You all know where our journey started. Our journey did not start in a great place. Chuck used to sit on TV and say he was gonna punch me in my face.
He called me ‘Mr. Triple Single.’ He’s had his fair share of jabs, and I’ve had my fair share.
