  • Is there a more fun analyst than Charles Barkley?

    “The Round Mound of Rebound” was a Hall of Fame Basketball star who, in 2000, joined TNT as an in-studio analyst, and since then, his signature wit and natural charisma have made him a favorite among many hoops fans.

    Barkley might be unfiltered, brash, and controversial, but nobody can doubt that he is genuine and entertaining. He is so entertaining in the role that he has transitioned into other hosting roles, including Saturday Night Live, an All-Star race against Dick Bavetta, and even a guest appearance in the Stanley Cup Finals.

    If “Sir Charles” is on it, we want to watch it!

    We are proud to nominate Charles Barkley for the United States Athletic Hall of Fame.
