Shaquille O’Neal has a reputation for occasionally criticizing Charles Barkley. The two on “Inside the NBA” frequently trade jabs. With assistance from the studio staff, O’Neal defeated Barkley this time. As he made his NBA playoff prediction, Barkley delivered another of his well-known promises.

Johnson, 67, has been at this...

Charles Barkley has such disdain for the New Orleans Pelicans that you’d think they played in San Antonio.

(Reuters) -Harley-Davidson on Thursday reported a 23% decline in first-quarter profit, hurt by slowing motorcycle sales as high borrowing costs deter potential buyers from making expensive purchases, sending its shares down 18% in afternoon trade. The company also reaffirmed its full-year revenue growth forecast of flat to down 9% for its motorcycle business and an operating income margin of between 12.6% and 13.6%, the top end of which was in line with the year-earlier number.
