Charles Barkley announced Friday that he intends to retire from broadcast television next year, regardless of what happens with the NBA's media rights.
Basketball Hall of Famer Charles Barkely announced Friday that he intends to retire from broadcast television at the conclusion of the 2024-2025 NBA season, which will mark the end of his 25 years as an analyst. The shocking decision comes amid uncertainty surrounding the NBA’s media landscape. Barkley, 61, made the revelation on NBA TV following Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Friday night.
But Barkley’s future won’t be impacted by those decisions. 'Next year, I’m just going to retire after 25 years and I just wanted to say thank you and I wanted y’all to hear it from me first,' Barkley said, adding that he’ll likely call on TNT’s Vince Carter or Jamal Crawford to take his place.
