Charles Barkley Nearly Fell Asleep During Inside the NBA Last Night

Charles Barkley, currently trouncing Deion Sanders in the First Round of our March Media Madness poll, needed a cup of coffee or something during Thursday night’s Inside the NBA broadcast on TNT. The Bulls easy win over the Rockets and the Thunder’s demolition of the Lakers apparently didn’t do enough to keep Sir Charles attention and he nearly pulled a Mike Francesa, dozing off on the air.
