For some reason the “Inside the NBA” staff decided it would be a good idea to have Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley take their shirts off for the TV audience.

Whatever it takes to keep those Emmy’s rolling in.

He never got to experience an NBA Championship champagne bath during his playing days, but Charles Barkley did get one for his Sports Emmy Award.

After last nights Lehigh and Xavier game, Ernie Johnson was doing his job and alerting the television audience that “Hardcore Pawn” was coming up next on TruTV. Leave it to Charles Barkley to totally take it to another level.

Busted Coverage has got you covered on everything going on in Tahoe this weekend. From Michael Jordan gambling with some fans on whether or not he would hit the green on a par 3 to this beautiful clip of Charles Barkley partying it up. In a thirty second span Chuck managed to double fist Coronas, spit game to a waitress, and do the Dougie. IDOL!

He might be at the top of the list for celebrities I want to party with.

If you have been watching TNT’s NBA coverage lately you might have noticed that Charles Barkley has been shedding the pounds. And thanks to EDSBS we get to see how he does it. CrossFit Atlanta is no joke.

Although it might not look pretty at times, Chuck is putting in the work.

Did anyone else see this last night during the studio coverage of the NCAA Tournament on CBS? Charles Barkley grabbing a drink under the desk and taking sips live on air.

What was in the cup? Whatever it is, I want some. I mean it had to be something good. He had a coffee mug right in front of him yet kept going straight for the hidden glass. Keep on keepin on Chuck.

Billy Packer was probably not expecting Charles Barkley to respond this way when he made the comments about Turner Sports getting the rights to the NCAA Tournament.

“ESPN would be better, he says, partly because it has announcers doing college games all season. He likens using NBA announcers to when he used to turn down requests to work NBA action by saying, ” ‘I’m not qualified, it’s a different sport.’ ” This, he says, is like CBS’ Verne Lundquist calling SEC football all year “and then having somebody who just did the pros come in to call the SEC title game.”

The result, Sir Charles calling him a “jackass.”

As an honor to Charles Barkley celebrating his 48th birthday yesterday, we bring you this T-Mobile ad where the legend teams up with Cool and Dre for his musical debut.

Surprisingly Charles Barkley could not finish Chris Webber’s Bread Challenge. You would think that it would be easy enough to finish a slice of bread in 30 seconds. But I guess it is harder than I think. It also doesn’t help to have Kenny Smith to the right making you laugh while trying to chew.

Chris Webber decides to make light of the President Bush shoe fiasco and Charles Barkley’s comments about new Auburn coach Gene Chizik on last night’s TNT studio show. Unfortunately for C-Webb, he pronounces the name as “Chiznik.” Well I guess that adds to the comic genius.

And let it be known that The President definitely showed better reflexes than Sir Charles.
