Chuck reveals the challenges as an analyst

Charles Barkley mentioned, “You know, Tom, I tell these guys because I talk to players and coaches all the time. They’re like, ‘Hey, why did you say this? Why did you say this?’ I said this is why I said it. I think as long as I feel like, I’ve never taken a cheap shot at a guy because I didn’t like him. But I thought, ‘Hey listen, if you play bad, I can’t get on TV and tell people you play good.’”

“So as long as I feel like I’m coming from a place, like, when I think about Chuck, I hear people say he’s gonna be fair, he’s gonna be honest, and I wish I could say positive things about everybody all the time, but they just saw the game. I gotta tell the truth,” He added.
