Despite previously announcing his retirement from sportscasting, NBA legend Charles Barkley has had a change of heart. At Warner Bros. Discovery's press release, it was revealed that Barkley has decided to continue working with TNT Sports and its parent company.
In a heartfelt statement, Barkley expressed his love for his TNT Sports family and his commitment to keeping the team together for as long as possible. He also praised the leadership team at Warner Bros. Discovery for their efforts in adding new properties to TNT Sports, which he is highly anticipating. Barkley went on to thank his colleagues and fans for their continued support and promised to give his all in keeping them entertained for years to come.
This news comes after Barkley previously voiced his concerns about the potential loss of NBA on TNT and stated that he would step down even if the show remained with TNT. The popular show, Inside the NBA, has been a staple on TNT since 1988 and has won numerous Sports Emmys. However, with the NBA recently signing new contracts with other networks, the league's deal with Warner Bros. Discovery will come to an end after the upcoming basketball season, following unsuccessful negotiations at the last minute. This has caused tension between the two companies, with Warner Bros. Discovery threatening to sue the NBA.
But for now, fans can rejoice in the fact that Barkley will continue to be a part of the TNT Sports family. As he himself stated, there's no other place he'd rather be. With his wit and charm, Barkley will surely continue to entertain viewers for many more years to come.
