Breaking News: Carmelo Anthony Blasts Adam Silver’s NBA for Ignoring Charles Barkley and TNT Crew in $76 Billion Deal Decision…See more

“I would be upset too if I was Charles Barkley.” Carmelo Anthony is now a part of the ownership group at Unrivaled, so his criticism is from that point of view. The deal with TNT to continue the rights took a long time, and in the meantime, every employee of the network was not happy. One of which was arguably the face of the show and the face of the network, Charles Barkley.

Melo even questioned WBD executives for not addressing the talents, “But I blame I honestly blame the higher-ups for that man, the execs and all of that. We can’t be here with you all of this time, creating this and building this property, and then we ain’t being told what’s actually happening here. And like, we don’t have a shot, like we don’t have a shot to keep this going after umpteen years.”

Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, Kenny Smith, and Ernie Johnson have been entertaining fans with the Inside show for years now. The Emmy-winning show is a testament to how different it is than its current competitors. Even Barkley had commented on the failure of Adam
“Clearly the NBA has wanted to break up with us from the beginning,” Charles Barkley said in the statement. He continued that he wasn’t sure if TNT ever had a fair chance because even if they matched the money, the league would prefer their latest partners in order to secure their future. What Barkley meant by it was that when the next deal came around, they would be in a better position to negotiate. Currently, WBD has a debt of $40 billion.

He even criticized Adam Silver for disrespecting fans. “It’s a sad day when owners and commissioners choose money over the fans. It just sucks.” Charles Barkley lastly thanked his Turner family for the last 24 years and promised fans that in the last season of NBA on TNT, the crew would give it all.
