With Charles Barkley and the rest of the “Inside the NBA” crew back on air for ESPN after a long absence, basketball fans can expect the NBA legend to provide more hilarious snippets. Sure enough, the former NBA Most Valuable Player is back to being the gift that keeps on giving in front of the camera. On Wednesday, Charles Barkley took a jab at ESPN after NBA insider Shams Charania got cut off by a technical issue while talking to the Inside the NBA crew. “ESPN pay your bills, man… I know times are tough,” Barkley said. For what it's worth, unexpected occurrences like the one they just had with Charania while being live on air are arguably where they shine the most.
