Charles Barkley revealed that he was ready to leave "Inside the NBA" after last season, but co-host Ernie Johnson convinced him to return for one final season on ESPN.
Barkley shared that Johnson's impending retirement played a key role in his decision to stay, as he wanted to share the final season together.
The longtime TNT studio show is moving to ESPN, and Barkley's return ensures the original crew remains intact for the transition.
