ClutchPoints: Charles Barkley: “You had a somewhat successful career. Don’t you think if you went to Auburn like I tried to talk you into, you would’ve been more successful?” Dirk Nowitzki: “I think so… But I went straight from the army, which you didn’t believe.”

Discovery loses its NBA package following the 2024-25 season, industry sources said Thursday that co-host Ernie Johnson would remain at Turner either way — meaning next season could be the last for TNT’s award-winning studio show “Inside the NBA.” -via Sports Business Journal / May 2, 2024
During the same interview, Charles Barkley also gave his two cents on when LeBron James should decide to hang it up and call it a day. “I hope he retires while he can still play,” Barkley said. “I saw Michael Jordan [play] with the [Washington] Wizards and it was not pretty. I saw Patrick Ewing with the Orlando Magic. I would love to see [LeBron James] retire sooner rather than later…because it ends badly when you keep on playing.” -via Clutch Points / May 2, 2024
