    Analytics shows that lots of people watch TNT when Barkley is on.

    TBF it's because viewers are confused with the preview info on the guide menu. Viewers tune in expecting a donkey show, but only see Chuck on screen.

    I posted about this briefly in another thread, but has anyone else noticed how detached Kenny Smith looks out there recently? The playoffs are usually the most exciting time of the year and the real Jet looks like hes just waiting for it all to end.

    Towards the end of Shaqtin a fool, you hear Kenny say that if another Rocket is on, he was going to leave.

    I wonder if all of Charles's Houston Rockets bashing has caused a stir between him and Kenny, and thats why the apology came around. Tonight Barkley didnt bash the Rockets, but Shaq got his jabs in. Smith did not look entertained none the less.

    lmao.

    Barkley, Jordan and Oakley were all best friends once upon a time. I think they all hate each other in some way these days?

    I didn't think Oakley and Barkley were all that tight, were they? I remember they got ejected for a fight against each other when Barkley was in Houston. Oakley was a bad bad man, though. He was one of those guys who acted tough and was.

    One of my favorite Undertaker quotes described some wrestlers as "phony tough and crazy brave". Charles Oakley, legit tough and legit brave.

    I seem to remember this and the next time the Rockets faced whatever team Oakley was on at the time Barkley went off in that game and said I am going to keep lighting his ass up until he apologizes to me.

    Ah I remember that. I guess Jordans closest 2 friends were Oakley and Barkley. I know that for sure. Maybe the gambling life got them on another path. :(

    I love Chuck back in the days when he was suiting up for the Rockets. It was the twilight of his career but he was all heart and hustle, even more so than Hakeem. Pippen was a dread but Chuck had some heroic moments that were especially gratifying given his age. I don't really care what he says now because it's showbiz but I will always remember Chuck for what he gave out on the court.

    Sadly, there is no one on the current roster that plays with his intensity and effort. Beverly, yes, but Bev is just so much less talented that it's hard to put the two names in the same sentence.

    Really? Barkley admitted himself that he half-assed in his last years as a Rocket. It was clear he was never in shape.
