Inside the NBA never tends to disappoint and we were witnesses to another show full of laughs last time out. Charles Barkley is almost everyone’s favorite on the show and he has rarely hid the fact that he always had eyes on the NBA when he was in college at Auburn. Education was definitely not his first priority back in the day, as is the case for most highly-touted NBA prospects when they are in college.
During the latest show, Ernie Johnson quizzed the Hall-of-Famer on what was his major in college and we got to see yet another classic Chuck response.

Barkley’s hilarious response had the rest of the set in splits as usual and he, later on, added that he was undeclared and was waiting to see how this basketball thing worked out. It’s fair to say that Chuck made the absolute right decision back then, as he went on to become an 11-time All-Star and won the 1993 MVP in what was an incredible NBA career.
That doesn’t stop the rest of the cast from picking on him with regards to his education, however. Later in the show, when Barkley claimed that Game 5s in the Suns-Mavs and Heat-Sixers series will be monumental, Shaq immediately pounced and asked him to spell it out! After multiple failed efforts, he finally managed to get it right, but not before he left everyone dying with laughter once again.
Chuck was on point with what he said though, as the upcoming Game 5s set up to be some tantalizing encounters, which didn’t always seem the case, when the top-seeded Heat and Suns went up 2-0 to start those series. No matter what happens there, rest assured that Sir Charles will make Inside the NBA the best NBA half-time show for us in these playoffs!
