Few faces are more ubiquitous in the lives of basketball fans than that of Ernie Johnson, the host of TNT’s inimitable Inside the NBA. This is good for us (he’s consistently excellent), but it’s a pretty good deal for Johnson, too. Sitting at a desk talking basketball—or “hoop,” as he calls it—with Shaquille O’Neal, Charles Barkley, and Kenny Smith affords him a front row seat to not only the greatest sports talk show on the air, but also to some gut-busting laughs. Johnson, 67, has been at this...
Charles Barkley's feud with Galveston, Texas is far from over -- the NBA legend was just targeted with a bunch of billboards throughout the city after dissing it on national television!! As we previously reported, Chuck ruffled some feathers in the…
Charles Barkley set out Monday night to clarify his recent joke-gone-terribly-wrong comments about the city of Galveston, Texas.

The television rights battle for the NBA is heating up, and it looks likely that ESPN and TNT won’t be the only rights holders. In fact, there seems to be a good chance the TNT could get left without any NBA rights at all. That would be a terrible shame, as TNT broadcasts are pretty […]
'I feel bad for Michael, I feel bad for Scottie,' the former Suns, Rockets, and 76ers forward said on Shannon Sharpes' 'Club Shay Shay' podcast on Wednesday. 'That is so messy.'
The New Orleans Pelicans have a lot to cry about. Not only did they lose
Charles Barkley made headlines late last week with some comments he made about Galveston, Texas following the New Orleans Pelicans loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. In NBA lingo, “going to Cancun” is shorthand for a player’s season being over. Barkley, however, didn’t feel that the Pelicans deserved to go to the Mexican vacation city, […]
Charles Barkley has such disdain for the New Orleans Pelicans that you’d think they played in San Antonio. But really, he took aim at the No. 7 seed in the West, who’s now down 3-0 in the Western Conferences first-round after a 105-85 drubbing at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday. New
When Helen Cruz pitched her tent in a city park a few years ago and made it her home, she chose the location for one reason: She wanted to be close to the houses she cleans for a living but could never afford for herself. “People see the irony of it,” said Cruz, 49. “I never looked at it like that.” What Cruz didn’t realize then was that living in a park in Grants Pass, Oregon, would place her in the middle of a national debate that will reach the Supreme Court on Monday about whether cities can...
The Oklahoma City Thunder (57-25) found out their first-round opponent
