People love Charles Barkley because he is a genuine person. He has never held himself back from speaking the truth. This has happened yet again on camera. But only this time, Barkley has slammed his employers for their dumb security measures. Although he is getting paid millions from them, Barkley is not happy with how things are handled at his workplace.
After recently being inducted into the Ice Hockey Hall of Fame, Henrik Lundqvist joined Barkley and Ernie Johnson on their exclusive show. But little did he know that extending a small gesture from him would trigger Barkley into making fun of Turner Broadcasting.

Charles Barkley is not a fan of the security measures
In a recent episode of The Steam Room, Ernie Johnson and Charles Barkley were joined by Henrik Lundqvist. The retired ice hockey goaltender has recently released his new line of cologne called ‘Next Chapter‘ with luxury brand Morgan Madison.
As Barkley hilariously stated that he is not someone who uses cologne, Lundqvist offered to drop some off by his locker in Atlanta, where the Inside the NBA show set is located.
This led to Charles Barkley revealing some inside information about the workings of TNT and the Turner Broadcasting System. Barkley said, “Hey (Henrik), you know we work for morons down here at Turner. Just go in my locker. We all got the same code“.
Barkley also said that he found this out when he forgot his code one time. He asked what his code was, and when they told him, Shaq and Kenny also heard it. That’s when they both revealed that their code was also the same. This left Barkley laughing. He then said that anyone could walk in and open his locker, so Lundqvist is always welcome to drop by.

Will Barkley finish his contract with Turner?
Barkley has recently extended his contract to continue working with Inside the NBA. The rest of the crew has also been extended. But Barkley has previously revealed that he is not planning on working past 60. But yet, this is more money than what Barkley has made in his career as a player. Shaq went on to express his appreciation for Barkley once he signed his contract.
He signed a 5-year contract in 2020, and then in 2022, he signed another 10-year contract that could fetch him up to 317 million dollars if he completes the entire duration of the contract, according to Fox Sports. But only Barkley knows how long he will continue working.
