Show notes
This week on The Smylie Show, Smylie Kaufman sits down with NBA & broadcasting legend Charles Barkley for a wide-ranging conversation covering everything from the future of Inside the NBA to the environment he'd create at Bethpage if he was USA's captain.
Their shared home state of Alabama leads to Chuck's honest thoughts on NIL, the transfer portal, and the future of his Auburn Tigers and college sports at large. He also opens up about 25+ years on Inside the NBA, the chemistry with Ernie, Kenny & Shaq, and what their move to ESPN has entailed thus far.
Of course, there’s plenty of golf talk too — Charles shares stories about playing Augusta with Peyton Manning, teeing it up with Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, overcoming the yips with Stan Utley, and his Ryder Cup predictions for Team USA vs. Europe at Bethpage.
