Charles Barkley said he left a minimum of $100 million "on the table" to stay with Turner Sports after TNT was left out of the NBA's new 11-year media rights deal that's set to bring in about $76 billion.
"The No. 1 thing for me is my people from Turner get to keep their jobs for at least another year," Barkley said on the Dan Le Batard Show. "That's all I was concerned with."
He publicly leveraged his popularity to get TNT to keep the show going. Now if that's not a baller move...what is??
