Seemingly on a nightly basis during the NBA Playoffs, the TNT announcing crew has been poking fun of Charles Barkley. It has gotten so bad lately that the Hall of Famer has even resorted to using some obscene hand gestures and straight up calling his announcing contemporaries as*holes, live on air, in an attempt to fight back.
But their playful give and take of exchanging insults swung in Kenny Smith’s favor when the former NBA veteran surprised Chuck by getting him to attempt to complete a brain-teaser, live during the telecast. While Barkley succeeded the first time when it was easy, he got a shock once asked to complete the puzzle the second time with his eyes closed, as Kenny pulled one of the oldest tricks in the book on his long-time pal………….a slap to the forehead.
Come on Charles, you’re smarter than that. Aren’t you?
