Frequent Miami Heat Critic Charles Barkley Comments On Skip Bayless-Shannon Sharpe Split

Charles Barkley sounds off with more words of disapproval for Skip Bayless.

The FOX Sports duo of Undisputed co-hosts Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe is reportedly ending after the NBA Finals conclude. 

Among those reacting was NBA personality Charles Barkley, who threw a subtle shot at Bayless after Game 1 between the Denver Nuggets and Miami Heat.

“Apparently if you work with a damn idiot, they’ll buy you out,” Barkley said, referencing Sharpe’s contract buyout. “So I just want y’all to know, I’m open to the buyout.”

For as much as Barkley has criticized the Heat, it doesn’t compare to the critiques he has for Bayless. He’s long feuded with the FOX Sports personality, and this gave him another opportunity for ridicule.

Undisputed always features heated debates but the tension reached a boiling point this year. Bayless has been the culprit of this hostility, from disrespecting Sharpe’s NFL career to insensitive tweets about Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin.

Barkley even mocked Bayless after the heated on-air argument about the Hamlin incident, which many believe was the moment Sharpe was done with the program.
