You had to know last night that the “NBA on TNT” was going to have to address the fact Kenny Smith wrote an open letter to Charles Barkley discussing his views on the situations in Ferguson and New York. Thankfully the network didn’t try to sugarcoat it and soon as the show started made it clear basketball talk was going to be on hold for a minute while Charles, Kenny & Shaq spoke on what is going on and more specifically the letter Kenny wrote to Charles. It seems we have been hearing from Charles non stop recently but that is only because people keep putting microphones in his face. All three of the guys make some good points regardless of what side of opinion you are on. Hit the jump.
