De facto NBA on NBC audition.

He was so boring on TNT. Hopefully he’s learned from that but I just don’t know if he has it in him.

Episode 497 of "SI Media With Jimmy Traina" features a conversation with Charles Barkley.

The "Inside the NBA" host discusses the possibility of TNT losing the NBA in the current television rights negotiations, his frustration with the lack of communication from Warner Brothers Discovery about the negotiations, whether the show could continue on another network, reaction from fans to the possible end of "Inside the NBA," the awkwardness of still having to work next season for TNT if they lose the NBA beginning in the 2025-26 season, the lack of loyalty from the NBA and what would make him decide between ESPN, NBC and Amazon if he became a free agent.


Barkley also goes off on CNN for never telling him that his show with Gayle King, "King Charles" was canceled, he explains what could make him be the subject of a comedy roast, who the two nicest GOATS are in sports, the Lakers saying that LeBron James doesn't have a say in their coaching search, reaction to his recent Caitlin Clark rant.


Following Barkley, Sal Licata from WFAN and SNY joins Jimmy for the weekly "Traina Thoughts" segment. This week's topics include the passing of Bill Walton, Angel Hernandez's retirement from Major League Baseball, the mystery behind the Dov Kleinman Twitter account and the latest story about a restaurant charging for a ridiculous service.

Maybe he’s actually meant for politics and not sports

Tbf though, I think you kinda have to be polarizing like he is if you are gonna do the one man show thing like he’s done throughout his career. At least if you want to get anywhere with it.

Is it bad that after avoiding his stuff for years after his ESPN years, I feel like he's become one of the more bearable and reasonable sports talk radio/podcast talking heads over the last few years?

I don't agree with his takes all the time but he always gives fair reasoning for how he gets to his conclusions, also a really good interviewer. Also one of the few of these talking heads that actually owns his terrible takes regularly when they become undeniably incorrect

Screamin’A so sensitive. He’s worse than the worst of my exes and they all are born/identify as women.

The extra Dominican mustache don’t help neither. Why bother? My middle school prom date was naturally furrier than that dumb ****. Might as well shave it off or book that Turkish Air flight.

I saw she recently got engaged.

No matter my situation, I’ll be waiting in the wings.
