As a long-time follower of Charles Barkley and TNT’s Inside the NBA, I must say that I find his unique blend of humor and sports analysis absolutely captivating. From his off-the-wall takes on games to his hilarious lack of awareness when it comes to technology, there’s always something to laugh about.
Among TV personalities, there’s hardly anyone as amusing as Charles Barkley, who shares the limelight on TNT’s Inside the NBA. This media commentator is exceptional at finding humor in unique perspectives about sports and his witty remarks. He even makes people chuckle unintentionally sometimes. What sets him apart is that he says things that are both outrageous and funny, but sometimes his lack of knowledge on a subject also adds to the comedy. For instance, during a recent episode of the sports talk show, it was necessary to clarify what a group chat is to Barkley, and his co-hosts mercilessly teased him about it.
It seems during a live show’s break, Charles Barkley needed help with his phone. On air, Kenny Smith revealed that Barkley wondered how one could text two people at once. Barkley then admitted he’s not tech-savvy, and his co-hosts jokingly scolded him for this. Fortunately, you can watch their conversation in the TikTok post below.

It’s clear that not everyone is equally comfortable with technology. I thought, given his status, “Chuck” would be tech-savvy too, especially when it comes to text conversations. But it’s okay if people aren’t, as we all learn at our own pace. To be honest, it was amusing to see the NBA MVP’s friends teasing him, and even Ernie Johnson joined in. After all, everyone needs a little fun now and then!
Charles Barkley’s tech skills, or rather his lack of them, have been a frequent subject of debate on Inside the show. Just recently, they discussed Barkley’s activity on Instagram. During that discussion, he admitted to not comprehending the term “sliding into someone’s DMs”. Needless to say, this made for an intriguing dialogue.

Charles Barkley Delivered a Typically Unfiltered Reaction Towards Those Criticizing His Betting Activities.
Previously discussed interactions have often been critical of the Round Mound of Rebound, but there have been moments this season where he’s had the final chuckle. One such occasion was when he playfully teased TNT for moving Inside the NBA to ESPN next year, implying that since his superiors managed to keep the show going, it was time to “return to kissing up.” The panelists were left in fits of laughter as Barkley subtly referred to Jay-Z’s legal troubles during the broadcast.
It’s a relief to know that we can continue enjoying Charles Barkley’s on-screen actions for some time yet, as ESPN and TNT managed to seal a deal for their basketball-focused show, preventing the cancellation of Inside the NBA. Even more unexpected was when Barkley announced his retirement from broadcasting after the 2025-2025 season on TV. But just this summer, he retracted those statements, explaining that he had chosen to stay with TNT Sports instead.
Fans can still catch the renowned Philadelphia 76er discussing sports, cracking jokes, and sharing tech insights, with a good chance of more technology discussions in the future. I’m confident that this will happen, and I’m eager to see how it unfolds when it does.
