Charles Barkley shocked fans with his athleticism on the show ‘NBA on TNT’. The 11x NBA All-Star is widely known by the name “Chuck”. Although he is one of the most famous athletes to come out of the NBA, his popularity stood the test of time because of his TV presence. On the show on TNT, Chuck is often accompanied by Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith and Shaq.
“Running to the board”
On the show, ?running to the board? is a tradition. It originated because of how long it would take Kenny Smith to reach the screen. In a recent practice of that tradition, Chuck showcased incredible skills. He bolted towards the screen and managed a comeback before Smith. Smith stood there, making excuses.
