Jason Whitlock Unveils Shocking Reason For Charles Barkley’s Retirement Announcement That Came Out Of Nowhere
Charles Barkley shocked the NBA world with his latest announcement of retirement next year. After 20 years of a career in TV, the analyst made the hard decision to draw curtains on his career. While many stood up to applaud Charles Barkley for his contribution to NBA television, Jason Whitlock went deeper to find the reason for his decision.
Barkley’s fellow professional, Jason Whitlock, recently took to social media to share his reaction to the retirement news. “I believe Barkley is stepping away because he’s come to grips with what corporate TV is. It’s dishonest and he no longer wants to do it. Good for him,” wrote Whitlock on X (formerly known as Twitter).

The candid expose of the money driven corporate tv asks the question if it really was the reason for Barkley’s decision. The NBA is finalizing its move to ABC from TNT after the expiration of the current deal. With that, it will close the book on the award-winning show, “Inside The NBA” of which Barkley is a part of. The Round Mound of Rebound made it clear during his announcement that he would not work for anyone other than TNT.
Charles Barkley can finally look forward to a permanently retired life after the little time he wasted between his playing and analyst careers.
Charles Barkley Talks About How His Wife Coped With His Career
Recently, during a recent interview with Renee Paquette on “The Colin Cowherd Podcast”, Barkley opened up about how his wife dealt with his career.
“Well, No. 1 I’m gone a lot. That always helps. I think the main reason is she accepts my flaws and all. She doesn’t judge me, accepts me how I am, she’s a great mother,” said Barkley.
Due to his life both as a player and an analyst, Barkley spent little time at home. Having an understanding wife certainly smoothened his professional demands. Chuck married Maureen Blumhardt in 1989 and, since then, has been going strong. With life ahead of staying at home, hopefully Mrs. Barkley won’t mind much of the former Suns forward’s hot takes about life.

Former New York Giants star Michael Strahan is keeping up appearances and putting on a brave face amid what has to be one of the most distressing periods of his life.
Strahan’s 19-year-old daughter Isabella is currently battling cancer, and she has been keeping her followers updated as it pertains to her treatment, progress, and setbacks.
Isabella is fighting to beat medulloblastoma, a rare malignant tumor at the base of her brain. She’s undergoing chemotherapy at the moment, and it’s expectedly taking a toll on her body.
The treatment is also having an effect on her mind, as she’s revealed suffering memory loss in her latest YouTube update.
“I’m given this drug to protect my hearing, and just because I have a reaction to it, they give me Ativan. And for some reason, this happened last time too, I can’t remember a single thing about that day,” she shared.
Isabella’s video includes footage from her hospital visit, during which she was eating a sandwich that she couldn’t recall ordering.
