Charles Barkley Sends Warning to ESPN Ahead of 'Inside the NBA' Move originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The NBA on TNT officially disbanded after Saturday's final broadcast of the Eastern Conference Finals' Game 6 between the Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks, giving its flagship 'Inside the NBA' show a chance at a rebirth on ESPN next season.

Charles Barkley said that he and the rest of the 'Inside the NBA' crew taped a 'pilot' for a similar show that would run on TNT. ESPN has licensed 'Inside the NBA' starting next season.

Flanked by fellow NBA great Shaquille O’Neal, NBA champion Kenny Smith and host Ernie Johnson Jr., and backed by great chemistry, Barkley spearheads the most highly-regarded and decorated sports show on national TV.
