TNT Would Love for Kobe Bryant to Replace Charles Barkley

[Marionettetc]

Barkley's stupidity is what keeps the show going, if Kobe does indeed go there, he'd probably take Shaq's job.

Ehh....that bullsh*t has gotten old and tired now. All he does is disrespect the product the league has signed a huge deal with. You can't go on air and say things like, " If we show the Lakers or Knicks again I'm not coming to work". The stupidity is him not understanding that media markets drive ratings, the Lakers and Knicks would have to go 0-82 for them not to be placed on a schedule ever again.

Give me a show that can talk the fact, stay unbiased and give me just a little bit of humor. Barkley is an assclown, time for him to be taken behind the shed and put to sleep.

100% agree Barkley is a clown and adds little to nothing on the actual topic of basketball.

I think your ideal 80/20 sports/humor wouldn't fly because the lowest common denominator sports fan eats up clowns.

I used to like older around the horn for that same reason. Opinion piece shows are fine but I'd prefer it not to be a circus

i don't really think kobe would be interested in broadcasting….hes the type of guy that would go for ownership stake imo

I see Kobe taking a year off to do nothing and get his body right. Fly off somewhere and just relax and spend his well over paid salary.

How many times would Kobe hold up 5 fingers to Shaq? I would like to see Kobe and Shaq braodcast together.

Funny how you don't get teammates to do it more on a national stage. Kobe and Shaq are so intriguing it would be fun.

the only reason to watch inside the NBA is cuz of barkley tho

I don't really learn anything from any bball tv analysts. Might as well make them funny, they don't need to add much analysis. All the summary's from tv analysts basically boil down to "If this player played better, they would have won" anyway. I prefer Barkley style to keep me interested in watching the show.

I'd replace Shaq with Kobe instead of Barkley. I know TNT would love to sell the whole Shaq and Kobe chemistry on the show but at the end of the day it might just end up being too boring for the average viewers. I think one of the main reasons why it's so popular is because Barkley dumbs it down for the casual fan.

I would think Kobe would take a year off and away from the game to get his body and his mind back in order. He has been playing for 19 years since age 17. Do not see him on the road right away. He also want to get his brand up and going. He wants to be like Magic and Jordan. Get his next phrase of his life going.

I imagine a lot of people watch that show because of Barkley, but OTOH I'm sure a lot of people are tired of that after so many years of similar material. Seems like he's tired too, it'd be healthy to take a break and have some variety IMO.
