Charles Barkley's Bold Plan to Save 'Inside The NBA'

Charles Barkley is considering a plan to save ‘Inside The NBA’ by moving the show to his own production company.

Barkley’s idea has surfaced as TNT finds itself on the brink of losing its NBA rights beyond the next season, putting ‘Inside’ at risk of cancellation.

“I’ve talked to the guys about everybody signing with my production company, because I have my own production company, and I would love to do that if we lose it,” Barkley said on The Dan Patrick Show.

“Actually, somebody suggested that to me, to be honest with you, on the internet. Why don’t Charles Barkley sign these three guys, four guys total, it’s his production company, and sell it? I’m like, that’s a great idea. But like I said, we’re just sitting back, waiting on these people to figure out what they’re going to do.

“My two favorite wines are Inglenook and Opus. These clowns I work for, they’ve turned us into Ripple and Boone’s Farm and Thunderbird.”

Barkley added that it had been a tough time for everyone who works on the show.

“Morale sucks, plain and simple,” he said. “I just feel so bad for the people I work with, Dan. These people have families and I just really feel bad for them right now. These people I work with, they screwed this thing up, clearly, and we don’t have zero idea what’s gonna happen.

“I don’t feel good. I’m not gonna lie, especially when they came out yesterday and said we bought college football. I was like, well, damn, they could have used that money to buy the NBA.”
