"I won't be worked like a dog by ESPN!": Charles Barkley once revealed fatally hilarious reason why he'll ALWAYS choose TNT over ESPN

A look back at the time when Charles Barkley couldn’t stop roasting ESPN while being live on air, on national television

Charles Barkley needs to officially be crowned as a national, no, an international treasure already. Seriously, even if you don’t watch television, you’d buy a whole new one, if it was the only way to watch this man go to work.

Over the years, the Chuckster has had so many… iconic moments, that they are starting to get hard to count.

Of course, if we had to pick, it would be the time when he decided to start a beef with all the women in the city of San Antonio.

And of course, when he chose Allen Iverson over Michael Jordan during a little game the Inside crew was playing.

Let’s get right into it, shall we?

But Charles Barkley? Well, just take a look at the YouTube clip below.
