Barkley works best when he has a snarky white man studio host to cue him up and interject humor. Nate Burleson is just a braindead cornball. They just resorted to doing the ESPN thing where everybody stands in front of a giant monitor and yells as loud as they can and pace back and forth and touch each other. Last night they had a game where you throw ice cream and cheese slices at a backboard. TNT studio shows are often imitated, never duplicated.

It's hard to imagine that a whole team of studio producers who do this for a living and get paid well could do this god awful poorly.
