Death, taxes, and Charles Barkley appearing on on the Inside the NBA segment “Who He Play For” with incorrect guesses.
These are all inevitable truths about existence and Barkley confirmed the latter yet again with a putrid performance on Thursday night. During his latest appearance for NBA on TNT, the former NBA MVP reminded fans around the world just how bad he is at this game.
The rules are simple: His co-hosts name a player and Barkley simply has to tell the viewers at home what uniforms that individual wears. But sadly, his knowledge of role players around the league is fairly minimal and he always strikes out.
"You've missed the same guy 7 years in a row" 😆

This year was no exception was Barkley got just one correct and it was after a clue from his co-host, Kenny Smith.
Perhaps his lowest moment was guessing the “New Jersey Nets” for Taj Gibson, which is particularly shocking because that team does not exist. The Nets moved to Brooklyn in 2012.
Barkley also failed to correctly identify which team employs Garrett Temple, which is particularly surprising because Temple is a recurring theme of this segment. His employment status is asked every year, so Barkley easily could have studied up on that player in particular.
