Barkley and his "Inside the NBA" colleagues Shaquille O’Neal and Kenny Smith are jumping to NBA TV to cover the NBA Finals.

There wasn’t a show quite like "Inside the NBA" on TNT over the last two to three decades—and there was never a dull moment with the iconic crew of Shaquille O’Neal, Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith, and Charles Barkley.

Barkley confirmed he signed a new contract with TNT last week. It took both sides two months to reach a deal. While that contract has seven years left on it, Barkley said he made it clear he was willing to work only two years before he calls it a career.
