The former ESPN employee, Michelle Beadle, put on the side of Charles Barkley after the TNT analyst criticized the Coverage of the NBA of ESPN.
Earlier this month, Barkley criticized the network for “always talking about the same things,” namely the repetitive approach to the network in LeBron James and Los Angeles Lakers.
The NBA Hall of Fame member went on to call Kenrick Perkins “an idiot and a fool” for claiming the Lakers who combined James with Luka Doncic, he was “saving the NBA.”
“First, in the Lakers, they had two great weeks,” said Barkley. 'He said the Lakers saved the NBA season and they fools, on the other network, that we are going to work for next year. They talk about that.
Speaking with his radio coanfrerion Mad Dog Sports, Cody Decker, Beadle shared how ESPN forced the hosts to talk about the Lakers.
'I worked there. We always had to talk about the Lakers, “Beadle said about her time with ESPN. 'We always talk about the cowboys. They are bulls formulated that approach brain ***.

“Because here is the thing about that place, it is national, it is global in some places,” Beadle added.
'I understand it, you think that is what moves the needle, but Barkley is correct and this is what we have been trying to say all the damn season. There are funny stories that are happening at this time.

In addition, Beadle expressed how Barkley's front and honesty respected.
'I love that Barkley calls people by name. I respect that, 'Beadle concluded. 'And I know that Kendrick Perkins has responded. We all know that any of this will come. There will be many things of hugs when they look. It is always. I would like people to keep grudder like me sustained resentment.
