Charles Barkley announced that he was retiring from TNT Sports. But today, he took it back.
The NBA legend said, “I love my TNT Sports family. My #1 priority has been and always will be our people and keeping everyone together for as long as possible. We have the most amazing people, and they are the best at what they do. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with them both on the shows we currently have and new ones we develop together in the future. This is the only place for me. I have to say … I’ve been impressed by the leadership team who is fighting hard and have been aggressive in adding new properties to TNT Sports, which I am very excited about. I appreciate them and all of my colleagues for their continued support, and most importantly our fans. I’m going to give my all as we keep them entertained for years to come.”
Barkley, who signed a 10-year deal in 2022, will be entering his 25th year next season.
I wonder how much they paid him to stay. Whatever it was, it was worth it.
