The chemistry between NBA legend Charles Barkley and Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is unlike anything seen in sports media.
When they"re together, sparks fly, clever comments get thrown, and the atmosphere brims with humour and liveliness.
Recently, they had a remarkable exchange during TNT’s NBA All-Star Game telecast.
This chemistry stood out during TNT"s alternate telecast of this year"s NBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis.
Both Barkley and Green were on hand to provide commentary, lending their unique insights to the proceedings.
The game was a blowout exhibition, but their back-and-forth banter undoubtedly livened up the telecast.
As the game drew to a close with a 211–186 Eastern Conference victory, Barkley shot a playful remark at Green.
Teasing him about the state of Green"s team, he wished him “Good luck in the play-in [tournament]."
Green"s team, the Warriors, currently sit at 10th place in the Western Conference. Barkley was not done, even after the game ended.
He had a comeback reserved for Green who had teased him for spending just $1,000 on his suit. Smirking, Barkley asked Green a simple question – “You know who was asking about you the other day?" Leaving Green intrigued, he then delivered the punch line, “Nobody."
"Hey, you know what’s funny about that?" Barkley asked. "You know who was asking about you the other day?"
"Who’s that?" Green responded.
"Nobody," Barkley quipped.
Chuck: "You know who was asking about you the other day?"
Draymond: 'Who?"
Chuck: "Nobody."
