In an attempt to compete with March Madness, TNT decided to send their studio team of Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley to broadcast an otherwise boring Bulls-Heat game. What resulted was ... well, about what we expected, especially on Barkley's end.
Barkley and Smith spent most of the time bantering, while Ernie tried his best to call the game in spurts. The gang got on Barkley for his sideline interview with Heat coach Erik Spolestra, because he asked more questions that he was supposed to and forgot to put the microphone near Spolestra's mouth. Which I can understand, of course, because more people are interested in what Charles Barkley has to say instead of Erik Spolestra.
Oh, and there was also this. (Via Jose3030)
Barkley's apparently trying to commemorate Latin Week in the NBA, so at least his heart was in the right place.
