Charles Barkley is taking a little time off from Inside the NBA to be an in-studio analyst for the NCAA Tournament. Barkley is beloved by basketball fans all across the country because of that show where he stars with Ernie Johnson, Shaquille O’Neal and Kenny Smith.
He is never scared to call out anything or anyone, providing fans some incredible laughs. His latest victim when it comes to being on the receiving end of a Barkley joke is North Carolina athletic director Bubba Cunningham, who is also the committee chair for the NCAA selection committee.
The Tar Heels snuck into the tournament when majority of the people across the country didn’t think they deserved a spot. Barkley made it be known he was one of those people.
“You had Harry Houdini on the committee, had a bonus and a check for putting y’all in the tournament,” Barkley said on the tournament coverage show. “Never trust a guy named Bubba.”
His co-host Smith, who played his collegiate basketball at North Carolina tried to step in and say the Tar Heels proved they deserved to be in after the blowout victory against San Diego State on Tuesday. Fans are still arguing about it, but the Tar Heels can go a step further proving they deserve to be part of the March Madness action if they can knock off Ole Miss on Thursday.
