NBA on TNT halftime mocks Charles Barkley

Written by Matt Yoder on .

Charles Barkley left his studio mates in Atlanta Thursday night to call Suns-Clippers from Phoenix with Kevin Harlan and Reggie Miller.  That decision left the bullseye squarely on Barkley's ample backside as the NBA on TNT halftime crew of Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith, Shaq, and Chris Webber mercilessly mocked Barkley.  Smith's Kenny's Pictures was devoted to calling out various Barkley quotes from the first half, including Barkley's waxing habits...

Barkley also admitted to waxing his eyebrows at halftime, confidently proclaiming from the booth, "AIN'T NO SHAME IN MY GAME", Turner cut back to the studio where Shaq had tape taken off his eyebrows, Chris Webber was wearing lip gloss, and Kenny Smith was showing off a manicure.  The screengrab of C-Web above may be one of my favorite images of the year so far and this segment is certainly one of the funniest...

Jd4000 i think so too, but for something like this to happen, you need  to have the same group of announcers to work together consistently, so that you can get some compatability between all of them!

They got him in the pregame show too.  When they were talking about him saying "It's not an it-or-err," I was crying laughing.
