Chuck, as we all lovingly know his as, has only two years left on his contract with TNT’s Inside the NBA. The Hall of Famer has had an incredible journey as a commentator on the show and has made a mark that can never be erased from our minds. While being asked about his view son retirement, he said, “It’s been a great, great thing. I love Ernie, Kenny, Shaq and everybody we work. But I just don’t feel the need to work until the day I die.”
He also hilarious took a dig at his fellow commentator LA Lakers great Shaquille O’Neal saying, “
I don’t want to die on TV. I want to die on the golf course or somewhere fishing. I don’t want to be sitting over by fat-a** Shaq waiting to drop dead.” Even though the NBA great has not admitted it word for word, what he said is enough to confirm that he might be planning to finish his television career after the contract ends.

Chuck came into the league in 1984 after being drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers. Over the course of 15 seasons, the player contributed to the Sixers, Phoenix Suns where he got the chances of going to the finals, and eventually the Houston Rockets. He hung up his jersey without winning a championship, unfortunately.
He averaged a career total of 22.1 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 3.9 assists shooting 54.1% from the field. He won the league’s MVP award in 1993 over Michael Jordan, had 11 all-star selections, five All-NBA first-team selections, five All-NBA second-team selections, won two Olympic gold medals, and a FIBA Americas Championship.
