Kenny Smith and the TNT Crew clowned Charles Barkley in the halftime show.

Ain't No Shame in My Game.
If you haven't been following Thursday NBA basketball on TNT lately, let me fill you in on what you missed out. Charles Barkley has recently embraced eyebrow waxing in his beauty routine and obviously the guys back in the TNT studio are giving him a rough for time for it. You know the guys will never let him hear the end of it. So when Charles Barkley went down to Phoenix to do color commentary instead of the usual halftime gig, the fellas ripped him apart. They dedicated the entire show to roasting Charles and it was hilarious.


It is okay Charles, they hate you because you are beautiful and totally not for doing something emasculating. They are not those kind of people, right? 

Bonus Video: Shaq got jumped by one of the TNT staff members earlier in the show.


Please don't come back. Don't worry, Chris Webber will fill the void.

Indiana Pacers "Bountygate," players were rewarded for keeping opponents under a certain score.


In latest NBA scandal, the Indiana Pacer confessed to putting a bounty in a game on Tuesday. Well, sort of. In the game where the Pacers defeated the Charlotte Bobcats in 103-76 blowout, Roy Hibbert offered a sum of money to his teammates to make things interesting, which in Pacers term, more boring, because they are the best team in league in turning games into an ugly mess.

From Curt Cavin of IndyStar:
Roy Hibbert realized during a late time out Tuesday night that the struggling Charlotte Bobcats might not score 80 points.
His mouthed opened and out came a challenge.
Keep the Bobcats in the 70s, Hibbert instructed the five reserve players checked in the game. It's worth $100 per man.
Bench players can always use the extra money, and it's really no harm to the highest paid Pacer. As we all know Roy is flushed with cash.


Had to throw in the Parks and Rec reference. (Video has NSFW language)

Kendrick Perkins consoled Marcin Gortat following Kevin Durant's Dunk.

Love you, Bro.
If you missed it earlier, Kevin Durant nearly killed a man that goes by the name of Marcin Gortat on the court. No one actually passed away, but when a man is stripped off his pride on TV, it is equivalent to death.


Even though Kevin Durant went ahead and put him on Sports center for the next few months without permission, Marcin Gortat was a pretty good guy about it. He was cracking jokes and sharing funny moments after the game.

From the Valley of the Suns:

On the dunk:
“Well first of all, I was looking for my car keys under the basket,” Gortat said. “I was trying to find my car keys because I lost them over there, so I was just looking for it. And Michael Beasley is going to get Krispy Kremes for the rest of the season for sure for me.
Fair enough, it was Michael Beasley's fault for losing KD and leaving Gortat to fend for himself. Word of advice, leave your personal belongings in the locker room. NBA shorts don't have pockets, so how did you keep your car keys with you during the game in the first place? Was it a wristband tuck or a jock strap trap?
“When he took off of one foot, I didn’t even lift my hands up, I already knew what was going to happen. I just tried to get out of the picture, or at least smile. It was bad defense, and then bad rotation, bad help. You can’t do anything.”
He saw the future and still couldn't stop it. It's no surprise that there were no smiles, just whole lot of sad.

It gets even better, this is the best part of this whole thing:
“It happens. The funny thing is that when [Kendrick] Perkins was standing under the basket he looked at me and I looked at him, and he said, ‘I know how it feels.’ He said, ‘Guards left you on the island, huh?’ And I said, ‘Yeah.’
Kendrick Perkins, a victim of many dunks, offered consolation to a fellow broken man. This led me to wonder if there is a secret support group formed by the players that will forever be remembered for being on the wrong end of someone else's career highlight package. I would imagine that Ronny Turiaf would be the lead advisor, being the most experience out of everyone. Therapy session will typically involve these emotionally abused men sitting in a circle holding hands, showing sympathy for each other, while blocking anybody that disses them on twitter.

The Los Angeles Clippers listened to Trinidad James's "All Gold Everything" before every game in their 17 game winning streak.


"Don't believe me just watch."

At least they know it is embarrassing. They did not want to say the name of it, and if you have heard the song, you can probably guess why. Man, it seems like a lot of fun to be a Clipper, even though you have to play for a disgrace of a human being. Nobody wants to touch Donald Sterling, you might just get a little racism and indecency rubbed on to you through physical contact. I hope they have their Purell ready.

Just a heads up Blake, it is totally not cool to rip Will and Jazz's handshake from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. There are a few things in the world that can not be touched and that is one of them.

Kenny, Charles, Ernie and Shaq makes their 2013 New Year's Resolution on "Inside the NBA."


I can't even tell if Shaq is trying to make jokes or find every single opportunity to show off anymore.

Bonus: Probably the best Shaqtin' a Fool of 2012. I still hate Shaq in the studio, but this segments is almost good enough to keep him on air.

Tyson Chandler and Jimmy Fallon had a Random Object Shootout.


People always underestimate Tyson Chandler's free throw shooting, he did start off terrible as rookie, but he has changed his technique over time and is hitting them at 70 percent. Jimmy should have just stuck with the good ol' Bick Barry grandma shot, because his "proper" form killed him.

Then again, I am not sure Jimmy wants to win and see this side of Tyson. (Hint: the link leads to the Greatest .GIF created of all time. No Question.)

Scottie Pippen is getting a reality show.

Timothy Hiatt/Getty Images
Few things that are very wrong with this.

1. The name of the show is "Big Pippen." This is not a joke, the name of the show is a pun (and a terrible at that).
Big Pippen, from Left Right Productions, revolves around Chicago power couple Larsa and Scottie Pippen. From private jets to designer digs, diamond rings and six NBA championships, the Pippens live a truly charmed life. Add in her overbearing family and his clan from Arkansas, and this duo is living life Big Pippen style.
2.  If this is Scottie Pippen's way of getting the attention he sought after in the Bulls day, he is doing it all wrong. Not to mention that reality shows never make you like a person more than you already do. The only right way to do it was when he was still playing because it would actually be interesting.

3. The show is intended for women (Not to bash the ladies). So there will probably be no talk of the glory days. I guess a rich married couple cuddling is great entertainment.
WE tv is appealing to its core female audience's interest in dating, shoes and religion with an ambitious slate of seven unscripted series vying for a place on its 2013-14 schedule.
If anything, there is one compelling reason to watch this show. Remember the supposed dance off Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan had at his 47th birthday. Yea, unless they show us the footage, this show won't go for 6 emmys or any kind of three peat.

Charles Barkley and Reggie Miller boxes with Manny Pacquiao.


Chuck, hopefully you are going to learn something to bring the back to the studio, maybe something on the lines of shutting Shaq's mouth? Please, I am begging you, actually the entire world is begging you. Whoop his ass and put an end to the suffering we have to put up with during national TV broadcasts.

A D.C. Sports Anchor was a little too excited about the Wizards' win over the Heat.


This dude threw professionalism out the window when the Washington Wizards defeated the Miami Heat, but can you blame him? If your team, that also happens to be the worst in the league, gets their second season victory against the defending champs, you should be allowed to go a little crazy. Just ask the guy that almost killed himself after the first Wizards win, he was lucky Emeka Okafor was there to save his life.

Kenny Smith dubs over Charles Barkley's terrbile golf swing.


This is hilarious, I can never get tired of Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson making fun of Chuck. And rightfully so, because that golf swing is hideous, looking like he is about to pee himself and holding it before hitting the ball, maybe try some adult diapers.

Jalen Rose stole Patrick Ewing's TV.


I don't know how much trouble Jalen Rose is going to get into with his NBA buddies in his revealing podcasts, but these stories are great. He has already admitted to purposely trying to injure Kobe and now confesses to stealing, what else have he done. I am glad we finally got the Bat situation figured out, with all the crimes Jalen pulled , he will need that left hand swing to protect himself.
