1. Charles Barkley isn’t a lawyer, but he certainly has opinions on the lawsuit that TNT’s parent company, Warner Brothers Discovery, filed against the NBA after the league rejected its matching offer for Amazon’s upcoming broadcast package.
“I don't think Adam [Silver] would leave himself open to lose a lawsuit,” Barkley said on Podcast P with Paul George. “He was a lawyer. I think he's too smart so … we have filed a lawsuit, but I think the NBA is like, ‘Yeah, it's too late, we don't care. You guys sued to get the Amazon package, but when we signed the original deal like six, eight years ago, y'all had to match NBC or ESPN,’ which is like another $500 million a year. I think our people were like, ‘we’re going to try to match the cheapest one’ and Adam's like, ‘yeah that s---‘s not going to work, y'all could match but y'all had to match the bigger number.’
