The NBA legend made the stunning announcement on air after Game 4 of the Finals between the Dallas Mavericks and Boston Celtics.The Basketball Hall of Famer and long-time basketball analyst for TNT, CBS Sports and NBA TV said he will retire after the 2024-2025 NBA season during post-Finals NBA TV coverage."I just want to say thank you to my NBA family.
In his on-air announcement, Barkley also addressed the rumors that TNT may lose its rights to air NBA games starting in the 2025-2026 season, when a new broadcasting deal is set to take effect. The 11-time All-Star made it clear that the possible end of the NBA on TNT had nothing to do with his decision.
"There's been a lot of noise around our network the last few months. I just want to say, I talked to all the other networks, but I ain't going nowhere other than TNT," Barkley said."But I have made the decision myself, no matter what happens, next year is going to be my last year on television." The NBA's current deals with ABC-ESPN and Turner Sports expire after next season and the league has been talking with NBC, ESPN and Amazon, among other networks and platforms, about what comes next. Commissioner Adam Silver said last week he hopes new long-term deals will be completed shortly.Barkley and broadcast teammates Ernie Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal and Kenny Smith have discussed their uncertain future on their popular “Inside the NBA” studio show.
