The NBA season began last night, which meant the NBA on TNT crew returned as well, which is always good news.
What makes this show with Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, and Kenny Smith so good is that they can tackle the important topics, like the COVID-19 vaccines so well in one moment and the next they can have some fun goofing around about not-so-important things.
Both of those things happened last night as Barkley had a great take on Kyrie Irving’s mind-boggling decision to not get vaccinated and then the Hall of Famer had some fun playing a one of the show’s popular games, “Who he play for?”
Here’s how the game works – they show Barkley a random player and ask him to name which team they play for.
Sit back and enjoy this:
It's time for America's greatest gameshow 😂

Too good.
I know some people will get upset that Barkley gets paid to be a NBA analyst and doesn’t know where these guys play but does he really need to know where Mason Plumlee plays in order to be good at his job?
No, of course not.
Twitter had reactions.
