The NBA is back. And so is the best studio show in all of sports—Inside the NBA on TNT.

The great Charles Barkley was in midseason form during Tuesday night’s season openers showcasing the Lakers-Nuggets and Suns-Warriors. He had a sweet moment with Denver's Nikola Jokic when he told the NBA Finals MVP in Serbian that he loved him

Barkley also called the Warriors ‘cooked’ after just two quarters of the 2023-24 season. And he had a really funny line after an older fan was shown during highlights of Golden State’s loss to Phoenix.
