Charles Barkley Drops Retirement Plans After Final 'Inside the NBA' TNT Episode
Charles Barkley Drops Retirement Plans After Final 'Inside the NBA' TNT Episode originally appeared on Athlon Sports. "Inside the NBA" has been a staple for basketball fans for the past 36 years, and on Saturday night, TNT aired its final episode. Shaquille O'Neal, Kenny Smith, Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, and the rest of the crew aren't going away, though, with the show moving to ESPN starting next season. Advertisement It was a bittersweet moment for everyone at TNT. But despite the move, the crew will continue working with TNT and ESPN simultaneously. Barkley was a guest on the "Dan Patrick Show," and said, "If they're being honest, we're gonna probably work on ESPN one-third or half the time." Barkley has been outspoken about his concerns with the move because of his schedule. He has made it clear he doesn't want to take on more work as he is set to move between the two networks. "If they start trying to work me too much between ESPN and TNT, I'm just gonna walk on home," Barkley added. Advertisement Barkley went on to discuss his retirement plans, saying he has seven years left on his TNT deal, but he's only got two more years in him. "I actually have seven years left on my contract," Barkley stated. "I'm like, yeah, there's no way I'm working seven years. I said, I'm gonna be a good soldier for Kenny, Ernie, and Shaq, and the people I work with. Because I love the people I work with, especially behind the scenes. "I said, but the best I can do is two years. And them other five years, they got no chance of happening. So I said, you know what, I'll give y'all two years. They're like, can we get three? I said, I just told you, I ain't gonna give you two." 11-time NBA All-Star and "Inside the NBA" host Charles Terada-Imagn Images The 16-year NBA legend also spoke about what he's going to be doing at TNT now that the show is moving to ESPN. He said he and the rest of his crew filmed a "pilot" a month ago for TNT and called it the "stupidest (expletive) I've ever seen." Advertisement "TNT is trying to do something stupid behind the scenes," Barkley added. "We taped a pilot about a month ago. And it was the stupidest (expletive) I've ever seen in my life... Barkley said TNT wants to have a show with no "basketball highlights." "Number one, we won't have basketball highlights," Barkley said. "But also, we're probably going to be going up against the NBA game. And anybody who likes basketball ain't going to say, hey, you know what, let me turn off an NBA game that's on Amazon, ESPN, or NBC to go watch these four dudes sit around and talk about nothing."

Social media has a plan to save the NBA Finals
Despite experiencing a brilliant playoff tournament featuring competitive matchups and star players, NBA fans feel like the Finals have been lackluster. All year, NBA fans are promised that the game intensifies once the playoffs come around. And this year, the teams did not disappoint. Related: Comcast spends big bucks to bring back an NBA legend While the Oklahoma City Thunder has been one of the best teams in the league all season, its championship opponent, the Indiana Pacers, is a true Cinderella team that no one expected to get this far in the tournament. However, while the postseason has been entertaining, fans on social media have not been quiet about how disappointing ESPN and ABC's broadcast of the NBA Finals has been. Viewers are letting their feelings show through the ratings. The TV audience for the 2025 NBA Finals has shrunk over the series' first two games. About 8.9 million people watched Indiana's Tyrese Haliburton beat Oklahoma City at the buzzer. That number fell to 8.76 million in the following, less competitive game 2. More concerning is the 24% year-over-year drop in viewership from the first two games. The Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks, who play in much bigger markets, average 11.65 million viewers during their championship series. The game 1 viewership is the smallest on record for the Finals' normal window (excluding the Covid bubble playoffs). Meanwhile, game 2 was seen by the league's smallest Finals audience since 2007. Image source: Pidgeon/Getty Images It was the end of an era when the NBA officially moved from NBC to ESPN. The NBA's Sunday broadcasts on NBC introduced the world to legends like Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, and Charles Barkley. But once the NBA moved to ESPN for the 2002-03 season, everything changed. Gone was the iconic Roundball Rock opening theme. By 2007, so too was the iconic broadcasting duo of Steve "Snapper" Jones and Bill Walton. While the ESPN NBA broadcasts have had their ups and downs over the years, NBA fans seem to have reached their breaking point with this year's Finals presentation. Related: Boston Celtics secure another title after championship run In 1986, the league started using on-court decals featuring script and a stylized NBA Finals logo for the championship round. In 2005, the league took it further and added a giant Larry O'Brien trophy to the mix. That has also since been abandoned, leading to a loss of pageantry that used to define the NBA Finals. Fans are not happy. "It's the NBA Finals and the NBA didn't even show the National Anthem, Pre-Game intros, no logo on court or jerseys. These are little things but they're so important for the experience," user @OhhMar24 said on X. More on networks and streaming: HBO Max debacle leads to shareholder revoltWalt Disney CEO sounds the alarm on streaming, ESPNComcast spends big bucks to bring back an NBA legend Another fan posted a video of the introduction ceremony from the 2007 finals, lamenting the loss of production value in this year's series. "For reasons unknown to anybody, The NBA successfully ruined the 'big game' feel of the Finals - removed finals logo at center court [and] got rid of airing the starting lineups on tv. The '07 Celtics finals starting lineup intros still gives me goosebumps," said X user @JM1849. The criticism got so bad on social media that the league finally decided to add two digital decals to the broadcast at the last minute. The results were shockingly bad. X user @MikeBeauvais added a bit of sarcasm, saying, "Here are the terribly low-res digital Larry O'Brien Trophies superimposed on the court like you wanted. They're glitchy and disappear if we cut back to them too quickly." Along with Warner Bros. Discovery, ESPN has been the NBA's most significant national broadcasting partner for over two decades. While the relationship will remain strong as the new, 11-year $76 million media rights deal between the two takes effect next season, the pair is no longer in an exclusive relationship. The NBA Finals have been broadcast exclusively by ESPN and ABC since the 2002-03 season. However, next year, NBC's new contract with the NBA also starts, and ABC/ESPN Finals exclusivity ends. Next season, the NBA Finals will be broadcast on a channel not owned by ABC for the first time in nearly 25 years, and NBC is pulling out all the stops to ensure fans don't complain about their production like they do about the ESPN Finals. Last year, NBCUniversal announced a blockbuster 11-year deal for the NBA's broadcast rights. Comcast will pay the NBA about $2.5 billion annually for the right to broadcast games and create content around them. Michael Jordan, the first-ballot NBA Hall of Famer and universally recognized greatest player of all time, will join NBC Sports' coverage of the NBA as a special contributor when the new season kicks off in October. NBC also announced that it is bringing Roundball Rock back to the broadcasts, hopefully restoring some of the aura current fans claim the NBA is missing.

Panelists included two-time World Cup winner and Olympic gold medalist Kristine Lilly and Ed Foster Simeon, the president and CEO of the US Soccer Foundation. 'The World Cup will be a fabulous event, but what will it leave for Boston? What will it leave for our communities and extend opportunity and access for young people,' Foster said. City officials are working to ensure the games have a lasting impact on Boston far beyond the summer of 2026. Boston is planning work with the US Soccer Federation and the Soccer Without Borders organization to develop youth sports programming next June. Advertisement 'Giving kids access to sports and connecting them with a caring adult in the form of a coach is a powerful tool in their life,' Foster said. Lex Chalat, the executive director of the Soccer Forward Foundation, said leaders are searching for ways to bring soccer to more schools, develop more accessible fields, and help children build community through sports.
