Charles Barkley has ended any future contract talks with LIV Golf and will stay with TNT’s “Inside The NBA”, Barkley told The Post. “I want to thank Greg Norman and LIV for their interest in me,” Barkley said in a phone interview. “I wish those guys great success and nothing but the best. But, in my best interest, and being fair to Turner — because Turner and basketball have given me every single thing in my life. It is best for me to move on and I’m staying with Turner for the rest of my TV career.”

Charles Barkley tells me Stephen Curry’s fourth championship finally puts him on par with Isiah Thomas as the best of the ‘little (point) guards.’
I disagree. Putting Curry higher.
Magic? Sits alone in a separate category.

More on this storyline
Barkley has three years and $30 million remaining on his TNT deal. Besides the $10 million a year he makes from TNT, he said on “The Dan Patrick Show” last week that he makes another $10 million in endorsements, including Subway, Capital One and Dick’s Sporting Goods. “My No. 1 priority is to be fair to Turner and my sponsors, to be honest with you,” Barkley said. “I couldn’t just keep them holding on so I made up my mind (Thursday) night. I was like, ‘Make a decision and live with it.’” -via New York Post / July 29, 2022
But after acknowledging Stephen Curry was the primary force behind four Warriors championships in an eight-year span, Charles served up a rather provocative comparison. “I said after he won this one, that puts him on the list with Isiah Thomas,” Charles Barkley said. “He’s at the table in the Hall of Fame with Isiah Thomas as probably the best point guards. Those two guys are probably the two best points to ever play the game.” -via NBC Sports / July 28, 2022
Whoa. What about that guy in Los Angeles, the conductor of “Showtime” for the Lakers of the 1980s? “Magic Johnson is a little unique because he’s a 6-foot-10 point guard,” Barkley said. “He played it differently. But I put Steph right up there with Isiah Thomas as the best little guards to ever play the game.” -via NBC Sports / July 28, 2022
