Its Future in Doubt, the Freewheeling ‘Inside the NBA’ Is on Edge Instead

Its Future in Doubt, the Freewheeling ‘Inside the NBA’ Is on Edge Instead

Next season could be the last for TNT’s influential and beloved studio show, and Charles Barkley, for one, will not be going quietly.

The future of “Inside the NBA” was already a sensitive topic when Charles Barkley stepped into an elevator in Minneapolis after Game 3 of the Western Conference finals late Friday night.

“Hey man, I can talk to who I want to,” Barkley said to Smith, using an expletive. Others in the elevator shifted uncomfortably.
