Barkleyisms - Inside the NBA

Charles Barkley is the gift that keeps on giving.

Inside the NBA, the Emmy award-winning show that airs after every NBA telecast on TNT, isn’t just about basketball. The interactions between host Ernie Johnson and three former NBA players turned analysts, Shaquille O’Neal, Charles Barkley, and Kenny Smith give the show an unmistakable charm that has endeared it to fans around the world.

Charles Barkley, in particular, has been given the chance to shine. His humor, brutal honesty, and inability to remember players’ names have given way to some of the most memorable moments and quotes on the show.
