Basketball Hall of Famer Charles Barkley sharply criticized the NBA’s evolving media-rights landscape on Feb. 27, calling the league’s direction a “disservice to the fans.”
In remarks reported by the New York Post, Barkley warned that the pending broadcast and streaming arrangements risk undermining the viewing experience for supporters. While he did not detail specific contract terms, the former star forward argued that any deal limiting accessibility would betray the league’s audience.
No timetable for finalizing the new rights agreements was mentioned during Barkley’s comments.
