Charles Barkley has previously talked about retiring at the age of 60. Only one year shy of hitting that milestone in his life, Barkley just might have a change of heart. According to reports that were shared this morning, Barkley has agreed to a 10-year deal with TNT worth over $100M! While the exact amount isn’t publicly known yet, it’s expected to hit nearly $200M!
As part of his new contract, Barkley will also be able to produce documentaries and other projects through his own production company. More importantly, the dynamic cast of analysts that has won the hearts of basketball fans over the years remains a tight unit!
“We’re all a big family – Ernie, Kenny, and Shaquille are brothers to me – and I wouldn’t still be here if it wasn’t for them and all the amazing people who work on our show. I’m not gonna lie, though, this is a life-altering deal.. and I’m blessed to be able to do live television for a living.” – Charles Barkley
Additionally, TNT has continued to show its commitment to beloved fellow analysts whom Barkley mentioned in his statement above. As die-hard basketball fans, we all know “Inside the NBA” isn’t “Inside the NBA” without the entire crew.
