NBA - Main

Had the comiss sounding like Trudeau.

Gotta love Chuck!

Even bigger fan of Barkley now

What are they gonna do? Fire him?

Cynical assholes on reddit who contribute less than nothing tried to put down a man who did something none of them would be capable of, much less even try themselves. That's why they thought it was scripted. Ain't got the minerals

People need to realize Barkley won’t be fired for this. There will be something else inappropriate that he does that they will label as too far and he will be out for that. At least that will be the reason they tell people.

Chuck's a legend for this

That's called using your platform for good. Chuck always delivers.

Silvers answer was terrible. "Cutting edge therapist"??

Chuck is a real one for that.

Barkley is the real people's champ

Given silvers complete alphabet soup corporate talk response I’m not surprised

What a scoop

love it

Good on Chuck, the NBA and its teams need to be grilled on this

I dunno. But I think they trimmed some fat because their viewership was decreasing. Talking heads weren't making them money, TV deals were. Not sure how long that will be the case. But the "ESPN is failing" narrative was overblown.

what did silver say?

Common Chuck W

Chaotic Good

Good on ya, Chuck. Just when I think that his evident boredom with his job should lead him to retire, he steps the fuck up. Silver’s feet absolutely need to be held to the fire about this.

Yeah I’m gonna have to give credit to Barkley for that. That’s some actual journalism. Don’t care about status or what, ask the real question.

I know the answer will be some Blizzard level PR garbage. But man, what a bunch of cowards. You don’t need a PR team to just say how it should be:

Being good at something shouldn’t make you invincible and put you above the law.

I think this puts Chuck in the GOAT conversation

Barkley ran out of fucks to give a long time ago.

it was a good job how charles framed it to ask it in a manner that wasn’t antagonistic too

Barkley going off script to ask question that matter, what an legend

Good on him for asking this question to Silver. It is a serious issue that can't be swept under the rug

Finally someone who asks the important questions.

Id like to see the NBA be more pro active in this. Its a bad situation and honestly they should adress it and do something about it.

He IS NOT a role model . Love me some Chuck

Silver sounds like a corporate fart in the wind. Dude doesn't give a fuck about anything other than cash.

Is Lebron James a mad made or is he Roman Reigns?

It’s difficult to see stuff like this from the media and not immediately extrapolate. Is growth more important to the NBA than credibility?

I mean if it was scripted would it be likely that we'd hear about that? "Confirmed with a television source onsite who agreed to speak under the condition of anonymity" is about as vague of a source possible. And in a league like the NBA where completely false / made up rumors circulate constantly, I don't know why I'd take this Tweet seriously. I love Chuck and he seems like the type of dude to say whatever he wants (and he may have in this instance), but this Tweet is kinda totally meaningless lol

I’d like him to ask some of the players next, they all seem fine with dapping up abusive pieces of shit

Non scripted Barkley - that’s new

Rehabilitation should be thw number one conceen for the individuals if you really carw about them. Punishment as a deterrent doesn't work, its been proven. People resort to violence when they don't know any better so use their outbreak to show them the right way to behave in said situations. I like Chuck but its not a fair question to ask without considering what it means.

“I am a role model”

I love so much about Chuck and one of the things I always respect about him is that he really does seem to care about what he talks about. He might be the most genuine personality we ever saw in sports and media.

Kevin Porter Miles Bridges

Am I missing someone else?

That's two guys.

So the NBA is scripted
