Charles Barkley said TNT’s likely last year with the NBA is definitely his last year on the air.
The colorful Hall of Famer-turned popular pundit spoke on “Inside the NBA” about his future with TNT expected to lose their NBA rights after the 2024-25 season.
“I have made the decision myself, no matter what happens, next year is going to be my last year on television,” Barkley said on NBA TV after Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Friday. “I want to say thank you to my NBA family. … My heart is full with joy and gratitude, but I’m going to pass the baton at the end of next year. I hope that the NBA stays with TNT, but for me personally, I wanted you guys to hear it from me.”
Barkley just finished the second year of a 10-year deal with TNT, but he has an opt-out clause if TNT loses the NBA rights. While no announcement has been made, reports are that NBC is expected to replace TNT among the league’s broadcast partners.
“I really love TNT, all the people who work here, NBA Television. You guys have been great to me for 24 years,” Barkley said. “You know, there’s been a lot of noise around our network the last few months.”
