Naismith Hall of Famer and TNT studio analyst Charles Barkley maintains he would have done an excellent job if given a chance to run the Orlando Magic’s front office when the opportunity apparently arose in 2017. “I was very disappointed I didn’t get the job (three) years ago,” Barkley said in an episode of “The Lowe Post” podcast released Tuesday. “They were great to me to a certain degree, but I thought I should have got the job, to be honest with you,” the 57-year-old added. “They went a different direction. I think I’d be great at the job because I’m smart enough to hire people who know what they’re doing.”
