"Probably not a good time": Charles Barkley cracks joke as TNT mentions Jay Z
Charles Barkley had his Inside the NBA crew on TNT in splits with his quickfire response to Kenny Smith. The latter mentioned rapper Jay Z during their discussion and the former MVP stopped Smith from going further on. This comes on the back of the 55-year-old allegedly accused of rape, and Barkley made sure the discussion would end there.

And he did that in quintessential Barkley fashion with a crisp response.
Charles Barkley's response had Ernie Johnson and Shaquille O'Neal laughing as the former Suns mainstay had a wide smile on his face. Smith was caught unawares but didn't take the conversation on Jay-Z further.
Earlier, a bombshell lawsuit did the rounds alleging that the 'Intro' star along with Sean "Diddy" Combs, drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl at a party in 2000. The singer's team later fired back in a statement dismissing it as a "blackmail attempt".
