Charles Barkley is one of the most outspoken sports media figures. The NBA great was a guest on 'The Stephen A. Smith Show' in February, and the pair discussed immigration issues.
Longtime sports commentator and television host Stephen A Smith was joined by Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer Charles Barkely during a late February edition of his podcast, 'The Stephen A. Smith Show.' Smith and Barkley discussed a variety of sports-related topics during their hour-long conversation, including Barkley's well-known dislike of the city of San Antonio. 'We all know which city hates you the most right? … That San Antonio,' Smith quipped.
Barkley said, although he was not particularly interested in adding to his workload, he believed it was important to do the show, and he was happy to work with King, whom he holds in high regard. 'I didn't want to work to be honest with you, and Gayle didn't want to work more, but we wanted to work together because I a lot of love and respect for Gayle,' Barkley noted.
King primarily lives in New York City and co-hosts CBS' flagship morning program, 'CBS Mornings,' five days a week. 'King Charles' is filmed in New York City, and Barkley commutes to the northeastern hub for the weekly show. About 30 minutes into the conversation, Barkley began discussing some of the issues he noticed that the city was facing at the time.
Who do you side with considering our inequities' history, what's going on today and who the candidates are today in terms of and in all likelihood, running for office. What do you do, Charles? Who do you vote for?' Smith asked. 'We need law and order, Stephen A.,' Barkley said. 'Trying to fix inequalities has nothing to do with letting people go in stores and rob people.' 'I agree. I'm with you,' Smith noted.
Smith's podcast airs three times a week on YouTube. The show's 'about' section describes the podcast as a platform where Smith shares his 'unfiltered opinions.' 'Smith gives you his renowned point of view, breaking barriers beyond the world of sports and tackling pertinent issues across entertainment, pop culture, society, business, and politics,' the show's YouTube page states.
