Charles Barkley Rips Rudy Gobert & The T-Wolves

by

If you know anything about Charles Barkley, it is that he loves to speak his mind. Of course, this is especially true on Inside The NBA which is part of TNT‘s NBA coverage. Overall, he is a pretty hilarious figure, however, he does upset some people from time to time.

On any given night, you can never predict who his next target will be. On Monday night, however, Barkley was going after the likes of Rudy Gobert. Gobert was traded in the offseason to the Minnesota Timberwolves, and he brought back a record haul. However, he has yet to live up to the price tag, and Barkley has taken notice.

Charles Barkley Doesn’t Hold Back

Barkley was prompted to speak about Gobert because the T-Wolves were playing the Utah Jazz, who traded Rudy. In the end, the Jazz came out victorious, which defeats the whole purpose of that trade. Charles Barkley was so disgusted by it all that he couldn’t help himself. Consequently, he dubbed this the worst deal in the history of the league.

“The Timberwolves made the worst trade in NBA history… That was so stupid that trade,” Barkley said matter-of-factly. Overall, this is an incredibly harsh assessment of the situation. However, you cannot blame Barkley for this take as it is true that Gobert has been truly awful.

If you are a Timberwolves fan, it probably doesn’t feel very good right now. Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns are not the duo fans expected them to be. Instead, it looks like the T-Wolves have made a huge mistake that will take years to correct.

Shaq & Charles Barkley Recreate Skip Bayless-Shannon Sharpe Fight

by

Shaq and Charles Barkley are always comedy when it comes to Inside The NBA. While they have had their fair share of fights, they always seem to make up in the end. Overall, they understand that their roasts aren’t anything serious and that the television product is all that matters.

As it turns out, Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe could use a lesson in this. We say this as Skip and Shannon got into an on-air dispute this week. This was all because Skip went too far and essentially called Sharpe a bum compared to Tom Brady. Consequently, Sharpe got upset, and understandably so.

Shaq & Chuck Poke Fun

During last night’s Inside The NBA broadcast, Shaq and Barkley got into a dispute of their own. However, this particular dispute was a complete gag that had Ernie and Kenny Smith a bit confused. Of course, if you’ve been paying attention, it was a complete parody of Skip and Shannon’s spat from a couple of days earlier.

In the clip below, Barkley begins to yell at Shaq and even takes off his glasses, just like Shannon did. The former Laker takes on the role of Skip Bayless as he tells Chuck to put his glasses back on and even insults him. Subsequently, this prompts Barkley to clap back in a similar fashion to Sharpe.

Overall, it was a pretty hilarious segment that even made its way back to Bayless. Skip took to Twitter last night and wrote “Charles Barkley: Thank you for so faithfully watching Undisputed.” If you’ve been keeping tabs on the lore, Bayless and Barkley have had a longstanding feud, with Barkley saying that he would love to kill the Undisputed host.

Despite all of this, Bayless still hasn’t apologized publically to his co-host. It is a pretty pathetic display, even for Skip. Hopefully, he finds the error of his ways soon and gives Shannon the respect that he deserves.

Let us know what you think of the entire situation, in the comments down below.

SOURCE SPORTS: Charles Barkley Shares How He Would Fix Out Of Line Fans From Talking Smack Court-side

Charles Barkley had some interesting comments on TNT’s Inside The NBA when it comes to dealing with out of line fans.

The conversation came as a response to Chris Paul getting upset that a fan allegedly got physical with his mother. Paul said to the fan, “I’ll see you later.”

Paul shared his frustration by asking the question. “Want to fine players for saying stuff to the fans but the fans can put their hands on our families?”

Barkley explained on his show exactly how he would resolve this situation.

“I’ve always said we could put an end to all this stuff. Some of this stuff these fans say, let’s take it right down to center court for five minutes,” Barkley said. “I’ve always said that. Some of the crap they’ve said to you — just give me five minutes at center court with them and say, ‘You ain’t gonna press no charges, ain’t nobody gonna be sued civilly. Say what you just said to me right here to my face for these five minutes. I’m gonna beat your a– and beat the hell out of you.’”

Fans say the most obnoxious stings because they know nothing physically would happened to them. Maybe Barkley’s plan of action would make the loud one to be quiet and watch the game.

Charles Barkley Said He Really Wants To Meet Eminem: ‘I’m A Big Fan Of His’

by

Although he’s a legend in his own right, Charles Barkley let it be known that he really wants to meet one of rap’s biggest stars – Eminem. On a recent appearance for The Paul Finebaum Show Barkley said Em is one of the few people who he really wants to meet but hasn’t crossed paths with yet.

“I’d like to meet Eminem,” the former player turned sports commentator said. “I am a big fan of his. I got to meet Snoop Dogg last year. I’ve met Dr. Dre before. I’ve met Denzel, which was awesome. There are very few people that I have not had the opportunity to brush around in my amazing, amazing life.” That amazing life, of course, included a lengthy career in the NBA that resulted in an entry into the Hall Of Fame, an NBA MVP award, and a stint playing basketball in the Olympics.

So, if there’s anyone in this equation who should be excited for this meeting, it could just as well be Eminem! He showed face recently for a venture outside of music when his Mom’s Spaghetti restaurant opened in Detroit. That would’ve been a great place for Barkley to show up in order to meet Em? Either way, surely these two will cross paths soon — especially now that Eminem has heard this high praise. Check out the interview up top, the subject of Eminem comes up around the 4:11 mark.
