It took until January 2023 for Charles Barkley to utter one curse word… according to the man himself that is anyway.
On Thursday, the good old NBA on TNT folks — fresh off of running Shaquille O’Neal into Christmas trees — had yet another hilarious segment where things went off the rails quickly. This time, it was Barkley to get the shenanigans underway after he accidentally cursed live on television, causing Shaq and the rest of the crew to crack up while Ernie Johnson Jr. took offense to the proceedings.
Barkley then told the room that this was the first time he had ever cursed, eliciting more laughter from the panel.

There’s no way this is Barkley’s first time cursing ever, right? Maybe on live television sure, but there’s no way. Even still, what another great highlight from the best analyst panel in the business.
