During an NBA opening night interview on TNT, Charles Barkley held commissioner Adam Silver’s feet to the fire.
As the broadcast was about to end a sitdown with Silver and go to an ad break, the Hall of Famer jumped in to get one last question in.
Barkley wanted Silver to discuss what the league had been doing to address domestic incidents involving NBA players. “They said go to commercial, but I’ve got a serious question for you,” Barkley began. “There’s a couple of disturbing incidents of domestic violence in the NBA right now. What are we doing to address that? You can’t put your hands on women, man, and we should be at the forefront in sports when men hit women.The question seemed to catch Silver off guard, and the commissioner fumbled for a moment before responding to the pointed question.
