Episode 455 of "SI Media with Jimmy Traina" features an interview with Charles Barkley.
The "Inside the NBA" host talks about recently signing a 10-year contract with Warner Brothers Discovery, but why he won't work nearly that long. He also reveals whether he'd work for a different company if WBD loses rights to the NBA after next season and how serious he was about joining LIV golf,
Other topics covered include how many times he's been in the same room with Michael Jordan over the past 25 years, his worst gambling loss, his reaction to ESPN firing Jeff Van Gundy, why he thinks LeBron James is responsible for the greatest story in the history of sports, why he calls out sports media people he dislikes, his recent weight loss, his love of Scott Van Pelt's "Bad Beat" segment," who he finds funny in sports media, whether he's cancel-proof, college sports getting ruined and much more.
Following Barkley, Sal Licata from WFAN radio and SNY TV in New York joins Jimmy for their weekly "Traina Thoughts" segment. This week, Jimmy and Sal discuss some of the issues that NFL Sunday Ticket subscribers will face this season, Elon Musk getting rid of Twitter's block button, HBO's new documentary on the Bishop Sycamore High School scandal and more
