Charles Barkley: TNT loss means I’m a free agent

Suns and Sixers legend Charles Barkley expressed that he would become a free agent if TNT loses the rights to broadcast NBA games.

He emphasized the irreplaceable role of “Inside the NBA” host Ernie Johnson and stated that the show wouldn’t be the same without him, as Johnson has indicated he won’t depart from Turner.

A decision on the matter is anticipated today.
