More on this storyline
BasketNews: Who would be on your all-time Team USA starting five? Carmelo Anthony: Myself, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, and then I would have to go to Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan would be that but, for USA I would put Charles Barkley. So that like that would be kind of my starting five: Barkley, myself, Durant, LeBron, Kobe. When you say overall I mean what he did with the ’92 team would never be done but the fact that he only played in that the one Olympics I’m looking at guys who had a career in FIBA basketball, and with Barkley, he also played one or two… If I had to use the same rule for MJ then I probably would choose Jason Kidd instead of Barkley. I think a lot of people wouldn’t expect Jason Kidd to be thrown in there but yeah those are those are the five. -via YouTube / August 10, 2024
Among the ideas the company is exploring for Barkley is a show tentatively titled “Inside Sports” that would allow him to talk about other sports that TNT and its sister channels carry, including hockey, college football and basketball, and Major League Baseball, a person familiar with the matter said. -via Wall Street Journal / August 7, 2024
The two sides now agree that Barkley will not be going anywhere. While TNT Sports is trying its Hail Mary attempt to hold onto the NBA, Barkley will still be utilized on its NCAA Tournament coverage that TNT Sports combines with CBS, while it could explore opportunities with its other properties, including the NHL. The network is also trying to expand its programming on TNT Sports so it doesn’t seem out of the question that it could either build a new studio program around Barkley or try to keep its iconic “Inside The NBA” together even after next year. -via New York Times / August 6, 2024
