The 2023-2024 NBA season was full of wild moments, but few were as shocking as the unexpected and sudden cancellation of "Inside The NBA." With Turner losing out on broadcasting rights to NBA games, one of the best sports television shows of all time came to a rather sudden end and enraged basketball fans. While there's still a chance a small deal may be struck to bring them back, co-host Charles Barkley hasn't changed his mind about retiring after next year, and age is definitely a factor.
Barkley has been the cheerleader to save "Inside The NBA" and has said some wild things along the way about it ending. With that said, even if TNT is able to work out a smaller agreement with the NBA to bring the guys back together for more episodes, Barkley told CNBC he's not willing to stay on television much longer. When it comes to why, the 61-year-old said he's too old to be starting over.
