The ongoing season will be the last we see of the NBA on TNT<\/em> for some time, following Turner Sports’ unsuccessful bid to retain the NBA’s broadcast rights in the latest media agreement, set to kick off in the 2025-26 season.<\/p>\n

Consequently, this season will also serve as the swan song for the beloved sports show Inside the NBA,<\/em> featuring the legendary team of Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Shaquille O’Neal.<\/p>\n

Known for his bold antics on television, Charles Barkley remained true to form during a recent broadcast. As the program followed a slate of late-night NBA games, Barkley humorously declared that he and Smith would exit the studio by 1 a.m. ET.<\/p>\n

“It’s 12:29 [a.m.],” announced Barkley.<\/p>\n

“Oh, we’re leaving here by one,” Smith quickly added.<\/p>\n

“We’re out at one o’clock,” Barkley emphasized again.<\/p>\n

“And if you don’t come with me…” Smith hinted.<\/p>\n

“I’m with you, brother,” Barkley responded with a smile and a fist bump, jokingly adding, “What are they gonna do, fire us?” This prompted laughter from the off-camera crew.<\/p>\n
