Charles Barkley Archives - Awful Announcing

Shaquille O’Neal ‘concerned’ about ESPN leaving Charles Barkley alone

"Can Charles talk about fat women in San Antonio?"

Last year, Barkley caused an uproar on NBA TV by unexpectedly announcing his retirement.

"Me and the great Charles Barkley have no beef no more."

"I'll give TNT credit, the did say it was an awful pilot."

Barkley had previously harshly criticized ESPN's NBA coverage and some of its personalities.

"A lot of y'all laughing at home, I'm gonna see ya."

"The show is still here, baby. You can never kill the four horsemen."

"I think everyone understands that if you can get Charles and Kenny and Shaq and Ernie, you do it."

"I felt a little slighted."

"ESPN, more than anybody else, has put him on a pedestal...which is the biggest bunch of garbage I’ve ever heard in my life."

"That is a tough time to do an interview."

"Hey ESPN, I love you guys. Don't try to make Anthony Edwards the face of the NBA."

"This is a wrap because the Knicks can't play fast and beat the Pacers."

"It's a great opportunity, we just got to figure out the dynamics."

Charles Barkley tried to get revenge on his Inside the NBA castmates in a hockey version of "Who He Skate For?" and the results were amazing.

"I know he’s not gonna do a lot"

Charles Barkley bet so much on a Toronto Maple Leafs Game 7 victory that he had to use a bookie outside FanDuel to place a wager.

“I have not heard any false notes."

"He's been punished enough."

"That tells you these guys who vote don’t know what the f*ck they’re doing"

"What I have a problem with is, like, ten people had to go, yeah, that’s okay...One person doesn’t make that decision."

"I always like to go back a little bit on something that Charles Barkley likes to remind basketball players."

"Tried to convince him that it could be his show on ESPN."

"...she is an absolutely incredibly funny, terrific voice for the women’s game."
