Charles Barkley, the basketball hall yof famer turned broadcasting legend said Friday that he’ll retire from TV after next season.
Basketball fans like myself immediately gave Chuck his flowers. By acclamation he’s the greatest sports studio analyst ever. His work is a perfect blend of goofy wit and hard edged criticism. No one is like Sir Charles.
But basketball fans there is hope. Barkley claimed that he wouldn’t work past 60, he’s 61 today. And that wasn’t the only time.
What’s different here is, his bosses at TNT will likely not have basketball after next season. As he told his co-workers, he doesn’t want to work anywhere else.
That’s loyalty for ya.
On that note I’m James Brown and as always be well.
