Charles Barkley made a brutal LinkedIn joke as Inside the NBA’s future remains up in the air

The possibility that Inside the NBA on TNT will no longer exist soon is starting to feel more and more like reality.

As the NBA conducts new broadcast negotiations, Charles Barkley himself has maintained he is “concerned” about the future of the program he’s spent over two decades on as a commentator. It’s to the point where he’s even made jokes (and jinxes) about what might come.
