The Phoenix Suns had a 55-35 lead over the Boston Celtics at halftime Thursday night and Hall of Famer Charles Barkley was so happy to see his former team have a lead, that he wanted to savor the moment.

Barkley, who played four seasons with the Suns during his legendary NBA career, took a picture of the Suns-Celtics score because he doesn't know when the Suns will have another lead this season.

The Suns entered Thursday with a record of 2-8. Phoenix had the worst record in the NBA last season. Their putrid year netted them the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, which the franchise used on Ayton.

Despite having one of the best scorers in the game in Devin Booker, the Suns currently have the worst offense in the league, as the team is scoring only 100.6 point per game. A win over the Celtics would surely be a step in the right direction for the team. Boston is considered one of the best teams in the NBA.

Charles Barkley is one of the funniest personalities on TV. You never really know what he's going to do when the cameras start rolling. That's what makes him and the rest of the TNT crew must-see television.
