" It's a sad day when users and directors choose income over the followers", Barkley said after the NBA passed over TNT in favor of Amazon Prime.
With the NBA revealing that TNT had failed to match Amazon Prime's portion of the new internet rights package on Wednesday, the odds of TNT keeping its policy of the NBA were slimmer than ever. The agreement also adds new NBA games to Amazon, a return to NBC, and new NBA policy on ESPN.
Charles Barkley, one of the visitors of TNT's favorite" Inside the NBA" present, responded to the loss of the NBA on TNT on Friday. According to Barkley, the NBA prioritized Amazon over TNT because of wealth.
" Plainly the NBA has wanted to break up with us from the start. I'm not certain TNT always had a possibility", Barkley wrote in the speech. The club is aware that Amazon and these digital firms are the only people willing to pay for the right when they double in the future, despite the fact that TNT matched the funds. The NBA did n't want to piss them off.
When users and commissioners favor the fans over the fans, it's a terrible day. It really sucks."

Barkley, who has been an scientist for TNT since 2000, went on to thank everyone at the network". They deserve better, he said, and they are the best and most gifted individuals.
The NBA and its supporters, who are the best sports enthusiasts, are also in his thoughts, he said. We're going to offer you everything we have subsequent season."
Although TNT's family business, Warner Brothers, promised to" take appropriate action, "it looks good that TNT did cease broadcasting the league after second season, much to the disappointment of" Inside the NBA "fans. The NBA's recent deal runs through next year, indicating TNT will remain showing activities through the 2025 finals.
Barkley has suggested that his production company may take over the present, but even said in June that he is going to retire after next year.
Even though Amazon has already announced the deal, the approved version of this media agreement is still undetermined. TNT has threatened legal action. It's unclear whether the company will be able to change the package because TNT has broadcast right to the NBA for 35 years and has contract restrictions that make the NBA's rejection of deals harder.
