An interview with Charles Barkley Part 1 

Love to Charles, he’s the last bastion of speaking your mind freely ❤❤

I was wondering when Stephen was going to interview Charles - the same day.

Love Charles Ballerina Barkley, he keeps it 💯.

"Looking like a Bowl of deliciousness"

Did Charles take off TNT today for Interview with Stephen A ?😅

I agree Charles, we’re the reason y’all get the bag.💯but the NBA is dying and I don’t know why.

Analytics BS he so right

In the history of the NBA, I would love to see how many injuries occurred in the all-star game? They play harder in pick up games in the summer. These guys are "soft" * in my kobe voice

I believe the ultimate goal of many players is to become a billionaire. It's actually a reasonable goal. Only LeBron is a billionaire now, but the rest are on track. If you're making 100s of millions and you invest that wisely, you can definitely pass the billion mark at some point, even if it takes until your 50s. So All Star now is a bunch of billionaires having a light jog. At least be funny with it, at least have banter. Some of these guys are too cool to even do that. Lillard can't even crack a smile.

This watered down, load management; unwatchable brand we have now will keep getting worse til fans quit paying for it. Someone needs to start a new league.

You have nobodies making 100 million before they play 1 minute in the NBA, so ofc the level will drop, and players will feel they are greater than they really are, i see more arrogance , dancing , celebration and shitty gimmicks than a good game .

He needs to shut up

"These of these guys couldn't play dead in Western movie" "That's a new one Chuck"

"NBA was too Black." - lol, Charles....

This is why Barkley is my favorite!

Chuck's right....League is outta control with a 🧁 commissioner 🏀🇬🇧

He's 100 percent absolutely right about magic & bird 👏👏👏👍

I'm with you Charles 70 games it should've been.

Only 250k in 1985! I want that in 2024!!

Stephen A brought up the only solution to the problem back when he and Kyrie were going at it: The money is only guaranteed if you play X amount of games. Watch how fast load management disappears

people needs to evaluate Chuck's "POINT" instead of looking and attacking him for being ringless. _"Attack the message, not Chuck"_ i agree with Chuck. They have the BETTER health & training, facilities, more skilled, more athletic, way MORE SALARY compare to their *underpaid* forefathers and here they are wanting less games, less loads.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:39 *Allstar Weekend excitement.* 01:50 *Players' high earnings impact Allstar game competitiveness.* 04:32 *Load management concerns; NBA All-Star games played trend.* 05:59 *NBA players fortunate; history of NBA salaries.* 11:37 *Modern players as businessmen; questioning dedication to greatness.* Made with HARPA AI

If these millionaires' excuse for putting forth little to no effort in the game is the fear of getting injured, then just scrap the all-star weekend altogether! It's insane and totally unacceptable when one team scores over 200 points!

They won’t play 30 mins cause they want their stats. Speciallly Lebron

The Old All-Star Was Great! This New Day Is Like Watching The Circus 🤹‍♂️

I miss Chuck’s mustache. Belated happy birthday. His bday is 3 days after MJ’s.

Charles is a national treasure.

Love C.B…. Preach Charles Preach!

Gotta love chuckster Got Guts, It’s nice to see someone stick on their own Value

Stephen A, love you content. Friendly advice: ADD MUSIC! It will add production value. Intro/out music.

I'm not a Charles Barkley fan, but I agree with some of what he said about load management. East & West teams only play each other twice during the regular season. A guy out on "load management" for the whole game shouldn't be allowed. Yes, these guys have it easier than those of Charles's generation; however, Charles had it easier than Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain. That's life. Basketball is a big-time business now. Charles should also be grateful for his position as well.

Charles Barkley was the only superstar that gave Michael Jordan some real competition. Shaq never did that to MJ. He only won his rings because MJ retired.

Stopped at a pub during the all star game. It was so unwatchable they switched it to horse racing.

Love to hear chuck talk basketball

Gotta love chuckdter he 😂Got Guts, It’s nice to see someone stick on their own Value

Agree with Chuck but btw Scottie Barnes makes 8 million so there might be a couple young players under that mark

Nice!

Players, don't hate each other no more 😂😮

"Cause we were making just couple million dollars" Money, money, money, must be funny in a rich man's world...

Give Charles some Krispy Kreme doughnuts

Chuck is the man!!

I HAVE AN IDEA, HAVE A REAL ALLSTAR GAME🤔LIKE ACTORS, PLAYERS IN OTHER SPORTS LIKE HOCKEY, BASEBALL, FOOTBAL ETC. AND HAVE A REAL SLAM DUNK CONTEST WITH AMATUERS (BALL IS LIFE) THRU OUT THE COUNTRY. THAT WOULD BE WAY MORE INTERESTING AND ENTERTAINING THAN WATCHING THE NBA ALLSTARS. I STOPPED WATCHING THE ALLSTAR GAME BACK IN THE EARLY 2000'S

I love you (round mound ) Sir Charles Barkley ❤,im a huge bird fan ,but you now fall in my second,you keep you real ,never stop 🛑 and never sensor yourself,if ppl dont like it , ffff em 🏀🏀💯💯

SAS is a crab. Always complaining about something and counting other people's pockets. Damn...

I gotta rant because it's upsetting. Basketball was GREAT in Barkley's era. Now, it's nothing but a shadow of its former self, rolling over in its grave. It's becoming discernable from the WNBA for Christ's sake! Take away "dunking", and it's there. I'm sorry but, it's no longer watchable. The lack of sportsmanship is astounding. I have to go back and watch old games again to get my fix. Something's gotta give because right now, it's all take. The NBA died with Kobe. R.I.P.

Gov Cuomo's case is 100% political. The guy is a bully and he isn't my favourite, BUT I've never seen a hit job like this where someone is completely denied ANY due process. As someone who follows cases for fun, it's comical. First of all, the fact that AG deemed him "guilty" (without evidence), and then immediately ran for Governor should scream red flag. The NY pols made it clear that he would be impeached. Meanwhile, multiple DA's dropped the cases because majority didn't amount to what AG described, and the one that did, was ultimately dismissed. That whole report leaves so many unanswered questions, and the fact that the AG is fighting back so hard from releasing the full report to Cuomo & his attorney screams fishy. The DOJ also did not reach out to Cuomo & his staff for a proper investigation. I saw a couple articles recently from journalists, who are picking up on this questioning why he hasn't been given due process. Am I saying that I think he is completely innocent...no? I think he is from a certain generation, and he needs to get with the times, but until that full report is released and can be accessed, I'm not going to jump on the bandwagon just yet.

I think the bubble is going to burst. I went to at least 100 games, watching the Bulls in the 90's. I have no interest in even 1 more. The piped in noise and the lack of competition along with the price is just not worth my time.

Stephan A click bait … always post LeBron and you’ll get clicks! Sad how these “sports” idiots use LeBron for attention

NBA money now is coming from overseas markets that helped to increase the revenue from sneakers and and shirts and hats the same with soccer at any high end games all the fans are wearing scarfs and hats and shirts and sneakers which make American soccer federation very very rich like the rest of the world with one game between elite European soccer clubs in America has sold out crowds of 89,000 to 100,000 thousand and generate close to one Billion dollars in one game ,so is the World Cup and us Vs Mexico

Those fools are out there comparing playing on the NBA to slavery. Soft as hell. They need to lock out for a year and go back to the drawing board. Tie their pay to winning and actual games played. Guarantee you they will play even when actually hurt. That's what real men do. They get out there and get after it.

Ahhh - what's wrong with extending your career? No one gets on these greedy owners who should've sold the team decades ago, but don't because of greed. Stop getting on the players!!

Did you know that France and Spain national teams are all NBA players or 10 out of 12 in last Olympics

Stephen A you have become such a joke

now there are scrubs getting millions....said said he could go to a game ina spaceship if he played in todays era

Solution to All Star Game. The Losing Team the Entire Conference has 25% of the salary go to charity...Every player in the Conference. So that way they playing not to lose money from their own salary and they accountable to the players on their teams/conferences who didn't make the All Star Game, because they don't won't to lose money either Now they have something to lose. The players already afraid to lose money, so make it where they lose the game they lose money

NBA is making black people rich without a college degree. The gap between rich and poor has been increasing every year and nobody talk about. Cable fees are way to expensive for typical Americans. NBA should reduce the players' salary by 60% to even the gap.

Chuck where were you last night on inside brother

I love how Stephen A kept trying to push Chuck in a certain direction trying to get him to say what everyone else is saying and crap on today's generation and Chuck just spoke honestly and spoke facts. I'm not saying I don't like the fact that the All Star game isn't competitive anymore but Chuck is right, there's alot more to lose now, and little to gain, those guys are gonna compete in the playoffs anyway and make money, so why risk getting injured? I'm not saying they shouldn't compete and play defense, I'd like that, but maybe it's time to restructure All Star Weekend in general. Maybe the League has to adjust to today's players, not the other way around.

Tyrese Maxey made Less rookie contract still

They dont have enough hate for eachother thats why they play soft.

Charles Barkley spitting facts

Chuck is that dude....

The Oliver Miller story lol

I call BS and stop hating!

Cut the time to 10 minutes per quarter, than do G league all Stars vs NBA all Stars the best of the best

Charles Barkley is a treasure

When Jordan said in an all star that LA kid is coming for him. That's what a pickup game is. Sad to c these extraordinary talented players playing like this! A fun tough pickup game is what expected. But sadly they r not dng it. Hope in cmng years, they play like a real all star game!

Its not even like they have to play the whole game just 20 minutes over 65 games that equates to 1300 minutes which is just over a week of basketball spread over 8 months. Just crazy when you see how much some are being paid, when you see a player like Jalen Brown being paid 60 million per season that's over 46k per minute..... madness.

Load management was started by the Spurs organization. Organization. It’s not on the players. The teams are sitting them.

old heads was fooled to play hard in all star for profit of the league, this guys are way smarter knowing there’s nothing for them coming to an all star break, chuck really knows!

I guess he forgot about Wilt saving the NBA or Dr.J saving the NBA.

One international player on any NBA team secure high end money to broadcast the game in his country

So back in the day Y’all made less But played that great Now they make so much more And play effortless Mo money mo problems is real But dam

Chuck’s right, but at least these players are in NBA 2K

THEY NEED BOYCOTTED!!!! That would fix it! STOP WATCHING GAMES & THEIR PODCASTS! STOP BUYING THEIR MERCH. It will change These players don’t care about the fans they don’t care about the many who paved the way for them to have the opportunities they have today. THE NBA IS TRASH!!!!!! If only we could bring the greats back.

BIG $$$ ruins all things......

Ouuuu hope they talk about How trash the ASG was

Barkley is the MAN❤❤❤

Thumb nails are weak

Charles is right on

Good talk here but is something wrong with Charles? Seems like he's chewing on tabacco or just came back from the dentist or something. Can't quite figure it out.

Why wasn't SAS on First Take

Chuck showed up hungover to games, only really took his fitness seriously for a couple of seasons in the early 90's, got in bar fights. He can go lecture someone else.

I never understood Barkley's constant, bitter criticism of NBA player salaries today. It's chump change compared to what the owners, executives and networks make. Extreme pocket watching.

These two handkerchief ninjas are something else starting narratives dividing brothers !

And they all vote democrat
