When the enormous snake was brought into the studio, chaos ensued. Charles Barkley immediately jumped out of his seat, desperately trying to distance himself from the slithery guest. In the meantime, Shaq encouraged the snake’s handler to bring it closer to Barkley, much to the latter’s horror.

Amid the commotion, Ernie Johnson asked about the snake’s species, with Barkley responding with a hint of uncertainty, “I think it’s called a python, right?” The crew didn’t provide a definitive answer, leaving the humorous encounter somewhat unresolved.

This hilarious and unexpected moment is sure to become a memorable highlight in the show’s history, offering fans both entertainment and a good laugh. Kenny Smith chimed in with a humorous observation, stating, “It’s a big one,” adding to the lighthearted atmosphere. Ernie Johnson was the only one brave enough to pet the snake before the handler whisked it away. This hilarious and unexpected moment is sure to become a memorable highlight in the show’s history, offering fans both entertainment and a good laugh.


Charles Barkley Didn’t Hesitate To Question Adam Silver 

In a recent interview, Charles Barkley demonstrated his fearless approach to addressing pressing issues within the NBA, as he confronted Commissioner Adam Silver about the growing problem of domestic violence cases involving NBA players. During a break, Barkley deviated from the scheduled programming to pose a crucial question directly to Silver, emphasizing the seriousness of the matter.

Barkley’s question was clear and unequivocal: “There are a couple of disturbing incidents of domestic violence in the NBA right now. What are we doing to address that?” His point underscored the need for the league to take a strong stance against such actions, emphasizing that it’s crucial for the NBA, as a sports organization, to lead in condemning violence against women.

Commissioner Silver’s response, however, left some wanting more. While he acknowledged that all sports leagues are addressing the issue, he mainly focused on the NBA’s programs related to mental health and education for players. Many found his answer somewhat underwhelming, as it didn’t directly address Barkley’s concern regarding domestic violence.

Barkley’s willingness to ask such a crucial question without hesitation highlights his commitment to holding the NBA accountable and advocating for important social issues. The incident also raises the question of whether the league will take further, more direct action to address this long-standing concern within its ranks, given the historical cases involving former players and current coaches. Barkley’s candor serves as a reminder that these issues must not be swept under the rug but confronted head-on.


Charles Barkley Calls Warriors The Worst Team In California

Charles Barkley, renowned for his candid and sometimes controversial takes as an NBA analyst, recently stirred the pot by declaring the Golden State Warriors the worst team in California. This bold statement comes in the wake of the Warriors’ 2022 NBA championship and their continued status as contenders. Despite the presence of superstar Stephen Curry and a solid supporting roster, Barkley remains unconvinced about the Warriors’ prospects.

In Barkley’s assessment, the Warriors rank fourth among California’s NBA teams due to their aging core. He expressed his skepticism, stating, “The Warriors are the 4th best team in California in my opinion. Old people don’t get better, they just get older. I just don’t like their team going forward. The Lakers, Kings, and the Clippers are all better than the Warriors.”

This assertion contradicts the Warriors’ recent playoff performance, where they outperformed the Sacramento Kings and surpassed the Los Angeles Clippers, who exited in the first round. While Barkley’s take is undeniably bold, it raises questions about the impact of an aging core on a team known for its past dominance.

Despite Barkley’s skepticism, the Warriors, with Curry leading the charge, remain a formidable force and are likely to continue their contention for an NBA championship. However, the challenge of defying the effects of time and maintaining their competitive edge looms large in the seasons ahead.
