On Monday, the former NBA big man hopped on the Michael Kay Show to discuss the New York Knicks’ upcoming playoff prospects. During his conversation, Perkins called out TNT’s Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal for only watching NBA basketball when their network is broadcasting games. As it pertains to the Knicks specifically, who, again, play in New York, Perkins isn’t convinced the TNT duo has seen much of them: “It’s obvious (that) they don’t watch basketball,” Perkins said on the Michael Kay Show. “I’m serious. They can’t watch basketball on a consistent basis. The only time they actually probably watch the Knicks is when they’re covering the Knicks on their game nights.”

Charles Barkley says on TNT that the Warriors need to get younger and signing Klay Thompson would not help with that. Klay may be cheaper now but he won’t get better per Barkley, instead of keeping him they need to focus on adding to the young core. #dubnation – 1:01 AM

Jokic, Luka and Brunson are all deserving of the MVP… but Shai leading the second youngest team to the best record in an absolutely STACKED Western Conference while putting up numbers like MJ and Steph did during their MVP seasons is the reason HE is the MVP of the league!!!… – 7:38 PM

Haynes talked about the two basketball leagues he plays in and was asked by Shaquille O’Neal what his average is. “What’s my average? Oh, I was the MVP in the Filipino league that I’m in here,” Haynes said. After Kenny Smith pointed out that Haynes is not Filipino, Haynes replied “I’m not Filipino but, you know, I’m a guest.” “No disrespect,” Barkley replied. “I know I’m going to get in trouble asking this question. How many Filipinos been drafted into the NBA?” -via Awful Announcing / April 17, 2024
“I met Dirk Nowitzki and tried to pay him to come to Auburn,” Barkley said, in an episode of The Pat McAfee Show. “We played an exhibition in Germany, and I’ve got Scottie Pippen, who is a great defender. I’ve got Horace Grant, (and) a couple of other NBA players, and we played this German team. Dirk’s got like 35 at halftime. And at this time Scottie was considered a great defender. This dude finished with like 52 points” (per On3’s Matt Connolly) To Barkley’s dismay, Nowitzki had mandatory military service to prioritize. “I said, ‘Yo man, who are you?’ He said, ‘My name is Dirk Nowitzki.’ I said, ‘Do you wanna go to Auburn? I’ll take care of that.’ He says, ‘I gotta go in the Army.’ I said, ‘Dude, you’re 7 feet tall. You’re not going in the damn Army.’” -via Clutch Points / April 17, 2024
