TNT's Inside The NBA crew is fond of a game called “Who He Play For?” where the guys try and guess where random NBA players are currently playing. This time around, San Antonio Spurs veteran Quincy Pondexter was the butt of the joke, and he watched as Charles Barkley struggled to name the team he plays for:

Obviously, Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal and Kenny Smith know basketball. It's hard to fault them for not keeping track of where Pondexter is playing.
This game is meant to be played in good fun and Pondexter himself is taking it the right way. Even the most die-hard NBA fans can lose track of where guys end up in free agency. We've all watched a game on NBA League Pass when an unexpected player checks into the game. You scramble to pull up his Basketball-Reference page on your phone to make sure your eyes are not deceiving you.
That's why “Who He Play For?” is so fun. It's something we all might have trouble with if we are put on the spot.
