The award-winning show ‘Inside the NBA’, which has been entertaining NBA fans for over two decades, is coming to an end this season. Fans are feeling a heavy heart as they see the cast members part ways for good. The show will be ending due to the expiration of the NBA’s media rights.

The main cast, including Shaquille O’Neal, Kenny Smith, Ernie Johnson, and Charles Barkley, have been household names in the basketball world. Recently, Knicks legend Carmelo Anthony discussed Barkley on his podcast 7PM in Brooklyn.

During the podcast, Carmelo Anthony discussed how Charles Barkley displayed loyalty to TNT by declining a $100 million offer. Anthony and others commended Barkley’s loyalty and demonstrated their respect for the TNT analyst. Despite the absurd amount of money left on the table by Barkley, Melo did not feel upset by his decision.

Anthony spoke about how long Barkley has been with TNT and even quoted the famous words “one for all and all for one.” Anthony also pointed out that a few days earlier, Barkley had criticized Jalen Brunson for taking less money for the team.

Melo’s words even suggested that Barkley was being hypocritical by mocking Brunson for his loyalty and then making a similar move later on. At the end, Melo stated that he would have never left the money at the table like what Brunson and Barkley did.

Barkley’s moves for TNT certainly earned him great respect in the eyes of many people. Even after criticizing Brunson for turning money on the table, Barkley did the same. Barkley was really upset about the show ending. He even stated the upcoming season would be his last one in broadcasting. But Chuck later retracted back his words.

‘Inside the NBA’ will certainly go down as one of the best sports media shows in history

Inside the NBA has been one of the best sports media shows for more than 30 years, with the star cast providing great game analysis and many hilarious moments. However, the NBA announced that the show will air its last installment in the next season, leaving many fans heartbroken.

Throughout the years, Inside the NBA has provided fans with the best content, from hilarious segments to intense arguments. One of the biggest highlights of the show has been Barkley and O’Neal’s hilarious beef.
