Charles Barkley is known for speaking his mind. It’s a big part of why he’s considered one of the most entertaining analysts around. He’s blunt, he’s brash and he’s not afraid to be critical.<\/p>\n
And while that style can sometimes get him in trouble<\/a>, Barkley generally keeps it PG-13 when he gets fired up. That was not the case Wednesday, when Barkley was caught dropping an f-bomb just before an “NBA on TNT” commercial break.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n You can hear Barkley use that term in the NSFW video below.<\/p>\n In the clip, Barkley and Ernie Johnson are talking about something that occurred earlier on the show. During the broadcast’s discussion of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s MVP win<\/a>, Barkley lamented the fact that Gilgeous-Alexander’s teammate \u2014 Thunder forward Luguentz Dort \u2014 never made an NBA All-Defensive team.<\/p>\n That was the source of Barkley’s f-bomb during Wednesday’s broadcast. After Johnson threw to a commercial, Barkley and Johnson engaged in a conversation about Dort.<\/p>\n “Can you believe that [Dort] never made an All-Defensive team,” Barkley said.<\/p>\n “I can’t believe you were trying to wedge that in when I was trying to tell them what the vote was for MVP,” Johnson responded.<\/p>\n “That tells you these guys who vote don’t know what the f*** they doing,” Barkley added before the show went to commercial.<\/p>\n Given the situation, it’s possible Barkley and Johnson assumed their mics were turned off as the broadcast prepared to go to a commercial break. That could be confirmed by the lack of response from Johnson after Barkley drops the f-bomb. Though the clip cuts out shortly after Barkley says the word, it doesn’t appear anyone on the broadcast reprimands him for saying it.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n
