Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors find themselves down 3-1 after a brutal Game 4 NBA Playoffs loss to the Los Angeles for the Lakers. For Charles Barkley, the situation is simple. The Lakers are in the driver’s seat while the Warriors are doomed. A team hasn’t come back down from a 3-1 NBA […]

Anthony Davis has been a monster for the Los Angeles Lakers at time during the NBA playoffs.

TNT’s Charles Barkley has spoken about the Phoenix Suns, who he played for from the 1992-93 to 1995-96 seasons, admirably as a commentator.

Shaq and Charles Barkley are gifts that keep on giving, and they do it so effortlessly.

And when it […]

Charles Barkley couldn’t resist trolling Shaquille O’Neal after Shaq tried to remind him that he forgot to mention the big man’s name among the NBA’s best shot-blockers.
