    Does Charles Barkley have any clue what's going on in the NBA when he goes on air?

    He has no clue what teams are playing for right now.

    Barkley has the best job in the world basically. He doesn't seem to even read off cue cards, basically just talks and acts like himself and gets paid millions. Clearly does zero research and squeaks by on his natural knowledge of the game. Has also parlayed his gig into big time endorsement deals. Weight Watchers (he gets paid to get fat and then lose weight), that tech/office company, the CC commercials with Alec Baldwin.

    And we know the guy is a degen. Talk about living the fukkin life

    If you had to search for reasons why he is on the air it would be that he can take strong positions...dogmatic positions and say shocking things without making any headlines because he has a reputation for saying stupid stuff. Everyone else has to behave like professionals.

    fading Barkley's NBA playoff predictions has been as good as gold at least the last 2 years.

    Looking forward to Sir Charles' NBA playoff picks. Always a good fade.

    He would be the Joe Biden of the NBA, except he actually accomplished something. He is def paid for just being Charles. Einstein he is not.
