TNT's Inside the NBA has always been an opinionated show that made no efforts to be otherwise; their show is one of few that basketball stars actually watch and generally enjoy, and such a policy has allowed its fog horn Charles Barkley plenty of opportunities to piss people off and/or make a fool of himself and therefore make the show entertaining to those who don't even really understand basketball. For this very reason, never before have they been concerned with Chuck and his sometimes controversial statements, but now after comments made by Charles Barkley, they are planning on moving its pregame show indoors as opposed to outside the stadium in lieu of rising tensions between Barkley and Miami Heat fans.
Yet with his rather spotty history, and reputation, why the sudden concern for Barkley?
Well apparently his comments envoked the wrath of King James and Nike. Nike of course is so concerned with its new cash cow, that they once confiscated a clip that went viral of Jordan Crawford dunking on LeBron James IN HIS OWN CAMP. Charles Barkley was told confidentially to 'ease off of LeBron.' The pressure on him by Nike didn't shut him up however instead, he claimed 'atheletes today are wussified,' and that 'these groups today (Nike), if you don't say 100 percent positive about their guy, or their team, they overract.' NBA players today are wussified? Yes, but everyone is a wuss compared to you Chuck:
Look an example of Chuck's nonwussyness and the utter retardation of some youtube users!
So TNT has taken Charles indoors, but he still hasn't stopped, and why should he? He's made a career of being controversial, and has more than once put his foot in his mouth. He's shown he has the ability to do it, and has often said things that would have gotten much smaller men fired, but he wasn't. The retardation of Chuck cannot be touched. Its expected, and entirely inspirational. He's called his producers pussies on the air, he's suggested the irritating fans should be taken down to center court and beaten during half-time, he's claimed he hates white people, he's criticized GMS, David Stern, coaches, fans, and referees--its like he said, "He's no role model." He's no role model, and he's certainly not going to take shit from Nike or Miami Heat fans.
Most recently he's picked the Dallas Mavericks over the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals, and action which has led some Heat fans to claim he's a Heat Hater, and why not? everyone else hates the Heat, why not Barkley too? Never mind the fact that he's been praising LeBron as one of the best players in the league for the past three years. . . Of course, he's just hating. . . Your thoughts Sir Charles?
And thats why we love you Chuck, you always handle each situation with such class. Fuck fuck fuck. . . its bullshit. And what bullshit indeed. Heat fans have been taking shit all season, from other NBA fans and the press, and now that the prize and ever illusive ring is now in their sights, they're unleashing pent up venom brought on by the ever arrogant "I Told You So" disease. Are fans not to be bitter and envious of the situation that literally fell in your lap Miami? Are Cleveland Cavalier fans (if there are any left) not to be bitter about the sudden impoverished state they have found themselves in after their golden child ditched their bleak grey city for the sun and sand of Miami? And is Charles Barkley, a NBA Analyst, paid to spout his retardation for the sake of interest and ratings, not allowed to pick the Chicago Bulls over the Miami Heat, or the Dallas Mavericks over the Heat because its his honest opinion? Well no, apparently not. Apparently this is all just the work of some dubious smear campaign designed to tarnish your beloved team.
How shameful. Did you not shun LeBron James last year? Did you not give two shits about Chris Bosh like the rest of us last year? And now that they're donning your colors you're all up in arms defending them against a legendary retard with plenty of contributions to the game. Oh how fickle is fandom. But there is one man, ladies and germs, who is not fickle, and that's Mr. Charles Barkley. From his Gillette commercials to his commentating game, the man has not changed, and has been constantly retarded his entire career.
In fact Barkley loves Miami, if you ever need to find him, he'll be the guy driving around with the smug look on his face after successfully predicting the Miami Heat's demise in the NBA Finals.

Charles Barkley is untouchable. When he played basketball he was a rough and physical, and his history of NBA fights account for that, and now as a commentator he speaks his mind and fights just as often verbally. This of course causes some controversy, but it is what he has done his entire career. When he spit in that girls face as a player, everyone eventually got over it, and the two then became friends. When he elbowed that player in the Olympics for 'fear that he was carrying a spear,' the man came up to Barkley and took a photo with him afterward. . . He's just that lovable, despite being at times disagreeable. He certainly rubs people the wrong way, but most of the time its people taking him out of context.
This current debacle is ridiculous. Sure, maybe Sir Charles shouldn't have acted so crass towards the fans, but now that I think of it, for him to act any other way would be very unCharles of him. Charles is Charles, and people have got to let him be that. And besides, fuck the Heat.
It is for Charles' ability to say whatever he wants without ever really facing reprocussions for them that iR declares Charles Barkley inspirationally retarded.
Arrested for DUI. Upon the arrest Charles admitted he was on his way to get some oral sex. He then offered tattooing the arresting officers name on his butt if he would let him go.
Charles Barkley once hired a famous heckler to try and urk Michael Jordan. He flew him up to Phoenix and got him a seat behind the Bulls bench.
Announced he would run for Governor of Alabama in 2012, but then quickly changed his mind in 2010.
Charles has written several books about himself.
love,
iR
Funny. Have you heard of Godzilla vs Charles Barkley?
