- Sports broadcasting legend Bob Costas discusses his career and the state of how the NBA is today with "King Charles" hosts Gayle King and Charles Barkley. Aired Jan. 31, 2024. #CNN #News
Chuck was very patient with Gayle
Oh 100%. Gayle is so annoying.
She’s turrable.
@@SomaGirlie She doesn't know sports, that's for sure.
I'd tell her to STFU-she's constantly interrupting everyone!!
She "loves" a game she knows nothing about.
The memory that Bob Costas has is unreal. Him and Al Michaels I don't understand how you do it.
Why do older people always say Millenials, when they really mean Gen Z?
It is the same as young people saying "boomer". It is just a way to note a generation that has changed something that other generations don't necessarily approve of.
@@williestyle35 People need to educate themselves. I put people in their correct category. Boomers, Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millenials, Gen Z, Gen Alpha. Its not that hard. Its laziness. Gen Z is the one that uses Boomer as a blanket statement.
@@jeter274 I agree. But as you said : people are lazy and just go with whatever blanket term they have heard.
@@williestyle35 That doesn't mean millenials wanna be lumped in with the nonsense that Gen Z does. And they will be corrected at every turn
YES
Chuck is not a hater, Gayle! He's honest and straightforward. Gayle was getting on my nerves during this segment.
Gayle interrupts Charles too much. 🤦🏾♂️
For real, they should take away her chardonnay before interviews.
I just said the same thing-she's SO annoying. And it's everyone-not just her co host.
That show got canned because of turrible ratings
@@JohnnyDouchbag-nr5yf "Terrible" is the word you want.
@@leonardodalongisland You must not know charles very well. That's the way he pronounces terrible
“Was Charles Barkley” any good at basketball?” C’mon Gail.
The NBA decides how they officiate games. They made a conscious decision to completely reinterpret a bunch of the rules of the game in favor of the offense. The current iteration of the NBA is an embarrassment and it has more to do with the NBA's perception of Millennials then millennials themselves.
Yes, the NBA changed the rules. But why? I think it was to appeal to casual fans, including international casual fans, who want to see more fast breaks and 3 point shots.
@@bb1111116the problem with this assessment is that the casual fan who gets what you've described in a game, gets bored. The NBA all star game this season is an example. No defense and chucking up 3's to score 211 points. The fans looked bored in the stands. Why? Because there's no defense being played. You can give a fan/person what they want but it doesn't mean what you have given them is a good thing to get.
@gnewt75 and it also pushes away the hard-core fans who are your bread and butter. Appealing to casual fans is fine, but not at the expense of the audience that "pays the fare". I was born in '72 and loved basketball until the strike in 98? After that they started letting I all the high-school kids who just weren't ready. Turned me off and I never went back.
"...it has more to do with the NBA's perception of Millennials then millennials themselves."
Spoken like a narcissistic Millennial, blaming everyone but themselves. Ever heard of this thing called the National Basketball Players Association? If the players don't like something the NBA front office is doing, that's why they have a UNION. They can stop all of the reinterpreting of the rules any time they want.
@@russellward4624
I understand your point in principle but an NBA General Manager evaluates talent.
Would you say that Kobe Bryant or LeBron James weren’t ready?
For every Kwame Brown, I can counter with a Kevin Garnett or a Dwight Howard. There was no minor league farm system back then and players have to always continue to be developed anyway.
The NBA ruined the NBA.
Trump living comfortably rent-free in the heads of the mockingbird media cult 🤣
Nah, it's better now. More people can contribute to a win vs who has the best big man from back in the day. My opinion
Also, it's hard to watch and appreciate good defense if you've never played basketball...but everyone can relate to making a long shot. It's thrilling. If more guys got their shot blocked into the stands, it might get interesting!
@@DemonicJoe666-bs9ig how's this involve Trump? People on both sides are so engrossed in that obsession
@@DemonicJoe666-bs9ig Um … this is about basketball! I’m pretty sure Trump’s living rent free in your head tho, & the heads of your fellow cult members.
@@Cj-mj4xg cnn is obsessed with trump, the right is obsessed with cnn being obsessed with trump
Like almost everything else - MONEY ruined the NBA
Giving players hundreds of millions of dollars without even reaching playoffs kills competitiveness in this league.
can Gayle shut up and let the man finish his point...
$20,000 for a season pass ruined the NBA.
Like you were buying a season pass even if it was $2000
@@user-bj6lu3tn7r Stop projecting. I'll buy season passes for your whole family except you.
I paid 13 bucks for a good seat Lakers-Trailblazers 1985😛
Exactly!
@@birgermunter5638 Was Nicholson there? Dude has a lifetime pass or something lol (assuming it was @ LA)
Gayle is the reason I cannot watch this show: she knows nothing about sports, she does not care, she just talks and talks and parrots what everybody else is saying. Charles must have the patience of a saint.
I love how Bob Costas rattled off those stats.
"Millenials Ruin X" - Way to take the easy route and make a Buzzfeed take.
Millennials haven't helped. Probably because they're busy having a panic and/or an anxiety attack because someone was mean to them or something.
Typical Barkley
Gayle might not be right for a sports show. Trying to tell an elite athlete he shouldn't think he's better than everybody else.
She might not (in my book) be right for anything.
It's not necessarily a sports show. The 2 seem willing to tackle anything. Ofc Chuck being Chuck sports will always be a part of the convo.
Think of this quote: “When you’re good at something, you’ll tell everybody. When you’re great at something, they’ll tell you.” Love Chuck though. The quote was from Walter Payton.
Cmon Chuck. There are many fans, myself included who simply cant afford to go to a game.
Can Gayle let the guest talk for a minute without jumping in?? give me a break
no she can't, these talking heads are all ego and paychecks to keep them from asking any real questions about things that matter...
Exactly, she keeps jumping in with stupid comments, proving she doesn't know what she is talking about. Mainly, women should not be a part of men's sports discussion.
If I were Oprah‘s friend, I guess I could be famous with a talk show also. What does she actually contribute?
Yeah she sounds like she had way too much coffee, or something else.
@@paladroAgreed!!!
“I still got it!” 😂 Charles on Prime Video commercials
Dear CNN, great segment but I wish you don’t put headlines that’re only at the end of the videos. It’s just cheesy.
Charles did a commercial spot,back in the day, " Who's got the action, game after game ", it was pretty hilarious!!
Bob costas is a legend
This is why Bob is a real truth teller in sports folks no pun intended.
No pun exists... 🥱
Bob Costas is my favorite. So many NBA memories for me!
80's 90's best decades for basketball 🏀
FACT!
2000s -2010s. Warriors -Cavaliers rivalry, Lakers 3 peat, rise of lebron, Kobe, Durant.
80s-90s. Magic/Bird, and Jordan.
80s 90s lacked diversity in success; I do prefer they could fight back then
The rules weren't changed back then.
She asks a question then she answers it.
Frustration with the Taylor Swift Overload is not a MAGA thing! Stop saying that. It is an old man thing. I am an older man. I was tired of the constant reaction shots (tired, not angry) and I am not MAGA. Most old guys I know are tired of it. I don't know how this became a political MAGA thing.
Right on! Love this show!
If there was a 3 point arc back when Wilt played, I bet he would hold the lionshare of top single game points
loving it everytime king charles is around. don't want him to stop talking. hilarious. 💯❤
bob costas ❤
Barkley looks younger than me. I was 10 watching him

I hate how the 3 pointer has ruined the game along flopping
The 3 pointer hasn't ruined the NBA. It made it better. Ask Larry Bird.
You are missing th epoint. Today's game is too reliant on 3 pointers. It's too 3-point centirc. Its more of a shootaround these days, transition threes, off the dribble thrres, logo threes.. I say the 2000s has the best balance of 3 point shooting, mid ranger jumpers, dunk/layup finish. @@Gmen2487
Flopping is highly entertaining
Same. After Ray Allen was inducted into the HOF, they asked him about 3pt. shooting in the NBA today vs when he played & broke the 3pt. record, & he said that he felt like if he put up 5-6 3s in a game, that was a good night!
Today, players take double that & no one goes to the basket! It’s ruining the game.
I very seldom watch the games just scores for betting purposes. Hero ball bricking 3’s is not entertaining.
Is it just me are does Gayle talk to much? I want to hear Bob and Chuck.
The NBA ruined the NBA. These refs are something else.
Dear CNN. Please create a playlist or a hashtag for CNN videos with Charles Barkley.
Bob costas' memory of these games are damn impressive
Gayle is 176 years old, how does she not know who Charles Barkley is? But she loves the game. 😏 Okay.
That’s a great take
Dallas Cowboys are America's team because just like the cowboys, we always look promising and then deliver massive Ls
Trump living comfortably rent-free in the heads of the mockingbird media cult 🤣
@@RichiiRich rent free, bullshit, its just cost him 175 million out of pocket to stay relevant... diaper don broke as a joke, but you keep supporting the russian puppet trump.
Does Gayle know that Charles Barkley is Charles Barkley??
Apparently not.
game #3 in Chicago went into OT, but Sir Charles did not hav 50+, he had 24 points and 19 rebounds
was waiting for someone to say that. it was Jordan who scored 55 points.
Today's game is pretty much a dunk contest inside a three-point contest. I'd be interested to see a consistent 23'9" three point line with the cheap corner threes eliminated. Think it would increase the quality of play.
We need to see the Chuck Tyson clip.
I was 27th ave and camelback '93 love Sir Charles. Booker is right there to
Millennials are in their 30s. You can just call them "adults" now. It's cool.
Chuck is a treasure, great player, great person..
I like the long shot vs dropping it down to a big guy who plows over the person defending him. And so they started doubling the big man and they would kick it out to a 3 pt shot a lot. So the trend of the 3pt shot has been a long time coming....it wasn't all of the sudden. The further the shot, the harder it gets to make. I think it's great and I watched Jordan, Bird, Johnson, Kareem, Olajuwon, Kobe, and the 3 pointer was becoming more and more significant in winning big games. If they doubled your big man, kick it out and sink the 3. It was a huge factor.
Now you come down the court and come off a screen to shoot the 3. It's amazing how much they make it. Maybe back it up another 1 foot but defensive grinds can be boring to watch. It's hard to appreciate hard fought points in the paint denied unless you've played the game. And it's about winning. America and even the world forget quickly who finished 2nd place.
The 'trend' of the 3pt shot has been a long time coming?? It has been here for 50 years...pay attention. 🤣🤣
@@r.p.mcmurphy6623 Come on McMurphy! Pull your head out! Context man! Context! Barkley said millennials ruined the game with the 3 point shot's uprising.
YOU need to pay attention to this segment....you know...the one my comment is about?!? Your comment only validated mine!!
And another thing McMurphy!!! How can the 3 be dominating the NBA for 50 years when it came out only 44 years ago?? How did it dominate from 1974 - 1980??
Man - don't bring your weak, no attention, no correct knowledge shot in the paint - I'll keep slapping that crap into the bleachers all night!!😂
Ok - all kidding aside - yes, we really are saying the same thing. I just said it a little more tactfully. Charles' comment about the millennials ruining the game with the 3 is just not accurate. The 3 has been a factor for a long time.
Now the defensive rules....he may have a point.
Great job Gail!!
I love your show
Love Bob ❤
It's negligent that Gayle doesn't know much about Chuck's career.
No kidding.
This conversation would be much better if ‘the woman’ wasn’t involved in it.
'Lemme tell you something Ernie"
who was Tim Tebow?
So, you you say “ruined” you mean “aren’t paying for”. So really, this headline should read “NBA fell victim to the free market, when they no longer made a competitive product”.
There’s always the assumption in “Millenials ruined the thing” headline that the status quo is the way things should be. But if you’re a conservative, then market forces are the only way to measure a things value. If the market says the NBA’s product isn’t worth the price, the market moves those dollars to someplace else. So rejoice, Capitalists! The Free Market has Spoken!
Bob Costas please come back to nba broadcasting
Damn whippersnappers! 🤣
Preach Charles! 🏀
Yep
Old man shouts at cloud, again.
I was picturing the meme of Abe Simpson shaking his fist at a cloud. lol, good call
I used to not like Bob Costas either til I grew up lol
Why?
Sports evolve just like other industries. NFL changed their rules in 1978 to open up passing and offenses. That’s when guys like Fouts, Montana, the 83 draft class ushered in a new era of the sport. Teams adapt to these changes and evolve their strategies accordingly. No different in basketball. BTW the 1980s had a lot of high scoring teams too if I recall 🧐
The NBA saw the Nielson ratings for the Dallas Mavericks/Spurs and decided to change the rules/game to allow more players from Europe to play in the league. The game had become too physical but the league over adjusted.
A Legend among Legends

Why is this just coming out of it was done during the superbowl?

"I think once you become a millionaire you become handsome." - Charles Barkley
is Charles Barkley a host on CNN all the time now, does he do actually news broadcasts and politics, or just sports segment?
I see that Gayle had to *subtly remind* Barkley that “Kobe isn’t on that list”. She say she love the sport but she sure hate the black men that play it!
11:41 They only talk about the 3pt shot - yet there’s Giannis and Embiid on the list. 🤔

Two gentlemen that love the game
Cancel 3 pt line(go back to pre 1977)
Dont call fouls on body on body contact if legs and arms dont stop the other guy from scoring
Bring back handchecking
Cancel the 3-sec defensive violation
Please follow this space for more tips on how to fix the nba
Wow Barkley slimmed down
This show would be perfect if it was Charles and Ernie
What's wrong with 3 pointers?
Are you kidding? Everything is wrong with 3 pointers! There is hardly any interior game of posting up the defender, driving to the hoop, or mid-range jump shots. There are way too many 3-pointers taken (and missed) and it has made the game completely repetitive and boring. Plus, there is hardly any defense being played. This is why the scoring is astronomical now! The game has been completely watered down and as a result, the TV ratings have plummeted...
9:25 😳 wtf is she talking about 🤣
how is this news?
Actual titled subject of this video, starts at 12:23.
The players are more talented but damn there is no concept of defense in the NBA and the players also don’t bother to play it
The games are also damn near exhibition games like the All Star Game.
They need to get the refs be less lenient on the foul calling and allow some toughness back into the game
He blames the players then reels off reasons that have to do with the commissioner, league officials and coaches. The players can only play the game according to the rules set out for them. "Defense is different." -- Euphemism of the week.
This show needs its own subscription. These two are great together
Nah- typical bs narrative
Costas has a tiktok facefilter?
1. SAM HEINKE
2. DAVID KHAN
3.. JAMES DOLAN
4.WHITE SUPREMACY
ARE 4 THINGS THAT HAVE DAMAGED THE QUALITY OF THE NBA GAME TODAY
Probably one of these bruthas that thinks Adam Silver is a "White guy".
Millennials? Tony Parker, Lebron James, Pau Gasol, Derrick Rose, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Steph Curry. I don't think he knows exactly who makes up the millennial bracket
Let Bob talk, quit taking all the time & allow the guests to speak & tell stories
NBA overcompensated when they cracked down on the rough & tumble era highlighted by the Detroit Pistons "bad boys". The owners wanted it b/c they didn't want their mega earning players to get injured by teams like Detroit that had no layups rule, they would absolute hammer you and tackle you like the NFL to not give up an easy shot. NFL has done the same thing, you can't touch a QB hardly without getting a roughing the passer. Even if a QB runs the defense has to go 3/4 speed b/c if they slide at the last second and you touch them it;s a personal foul.
Too much scoring to the point where it’s expected for a superstar to score 100 points. There’s no excitement because defense is no longer the foundation. Athletes are getting more talented now and that’s okay. NBA just needs to be creative in finding ways to make the game exciting and competitive again. It’s not by scoring 100 points because it’s saturated now. Probably make the court bigger and create a four point shot.
I thought he was Mark Hamill.
Remember when Bob Costas did an interview with 18 year old Lebron James asking him questions about his absent father and told LeBron his dad was probably dead?
Every white reporter asked those stupid questions back then.
09:49 Google me, Gayle!😊
Im a Millennial and weirdly i ageee with the title 😂
By Bob's logic The Patriots would be the current "America's Team" to be supplanted by the chiefs. Best QB - (was Tom Brady during their run) - check. Number of Super Bowls that have been to: (from 2001-2019 9 appearances 6 wins). The trump card for me is that after September 11 2001 - a year when we were hurt and healing as a nation - The Patriots win over a superior opponent through grit, teamwork & being smart/wily.
The NBA is unwatchable. Especially the playoffs. After this play-in stuff, 1st round should be best of 3, 2nd round best of 5, then your best of 7. There's no urgency.
Bret screwed Bret.
Ha.
Charles should know when to shut up and let their guest do the talking. That's the reason their show started in the first place.
The issue with Taylor Swift for so many football fans is that she is left wing politically. If she were a MAGA type or completely a-political, no issues.
Bob Costas was more than patient with Gayle! She loves to interrupt, she knows nothing of the history of the NBA, she's there it seems to throw a different opinion into the fire for reaction. Hatorade??? No, Sir Charles & Bob Costas lived it. The league has gone 360° south in last decade. Gone are the mid-range artists. Defense at the 2024 All-Star Game was non-existent. And the abundance of recent 60 point scorers is not normal. Does that make them greater than the players from decades past? Those players revolutionized the game: Russell, Chamberlain, Oscar Robertson, Magic, Bird, Michael, Jabbar, Olajuwon. Sure every generation has its superstars, the last one with Steph, Durant & Lebron...But they're playing in a diluted league with 3-pointers by the dozens, no defense & no rivalries. The game is boring!!!
I think Chuck has Millennials mixed up w Gen-Z … most Millennials are in our mid/late 30s to 40s now! Yes, he listed LeBron, who is a Millennial, but he played against Gen-X players for the majority of his career & was dominant back then too!
& As a Pats fan, let me know when the Chiefs have a dominant 20 year reign …
Millennial generation is from '81-'95. The youngest millennial is 29 while the oldest is 43. I would say the millennial generation did start the 3-point chucking era considering Steph Curry started this current era and he is a Millennials. Gen Z has now taken it to the next level of 3-point chucking.
The youngest millennials are in they late 20s cuz it goes from 1981-1996 I believe
Well they ruined everything for boomers and I am here as gen X loving it.
@@user-account-not-found I hate the current NBA and is one of the elder Millennials.
