Milwaukee Bucks News: It was announced Monday that TNT has agreed to match Amazon’s $1.8 billion offer to the NBA for the league’s media rights. This means that TNT will continue to provide national coverage of the NBA beyond next season. In airy of this, Inside the NBA will still be on the air despite rumours of its closure.
One person who was ecstatic to hear about this groundbreaking event is Giannis Antetokounmpo, who recently shared that he is a huge fan of the wildly popular TNT basketball show and one of its hosts, Charles Barkley.
Milwaukee Bucks News: Giannis Antetokounmpo Shares Affinity With Inside NBA
Giannis was one of the few players and celebrities who shared how much Inside the NBA for them on a personal level. According to Antetokounmpo, it’s one of the few shows he watches on TV whenever he gets the chance.
“I don’t usually watch much media, but I definitely do Inside the NBA “it’s one of those shows that whenever I watch it on TV, I try to watch five or 10 minutes because it’s really comical,” he said. “It’s not just about basketball. You see these guys having a good time. They’re picking on each other. They’re just real.”
Giannis gives Charles Barkley his flowers
I’m pretty sure Giannis is also a fan of Shaquille O’Neal, Ernie Johnson, and Kenny Smith. However, the former two-time NBA MVP had some special praise for one particular host.
“Charles Barkley is so special because I think he has no filter,” Giannis said. “He’s going to tell the truth. He’s going to say what he thinks. And that’s why I think a lot of people respect him.
“He often says things that don’t make sense. But at the end of the day, you respect a guy who tells you the truth, has no filters, and at the end of the day, he has fun doing it, too.”

Barkley has been critical of Antetokounmpo and the Bucks in the past, and it seems Giannis appreciates that honesty — even if he sometimes feels like Chuck just isn’t making sense.
