Charles Barkley roasted Kenny Smith's NBA playoffs opinion as 'one of the dumbest things I've ever heard'
Charles Barkley absolutely roasted Kenny Smith here.
Charles Barkley wasn’t having fellow TNT analyst Kenny Smith’s position about the importance of the 2024 NBA Western conference finals.
Ahead of Wednesday night’s Minnesota Timberwolves and Dallas Mavericks game, Smith argued that the winner of that series would become the face of the NBA between Anthony Edwards and Luka Doncic.
To Smith, whichever team would come out of the Eastern Conference between the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers would get overshadowed by the star power of Edwards or Doncic, to the point where the loser would get more attention than the winner if the loser featured one of those players.
Barkley immediately chimed in after Smith by saying, “that was one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.”

Like, that’s absolutely brutal from Barkley.
On the same night he got blasted for his unfounded hot take about perceived pettiness toward Caitlin Clark, Barkley got in a roast of his own at his co-worker for his hot take about the importance of this NBA playoffs.
