Love him, hate him, agree with him, disagree with him, laugh with him, laugh at him. Charles Barkley's commentary during this tournament has been an added bonus of Turner's role in the new TV coverage.
Although he may be controversial with his views on, well anything, one has to respect the conviction and humor that Sir Charles brings to the studio. Whether he is criticizing The Big (or "Little") East, One-And-Done Players or the number of hours in the studio during early rounds, Barkley always keeps things interesting. What is incredibly appealing is the candid honesty he adds to the coverage. He has no problem offending Rick Pitino on national television or causing cringes from producers and is hilarious in either capacity.
Many people may dislike him for not always being politically correct on camera, but there are many more who appreciate him for the same reason.
Barkley is to March Madness what Dennis Miller was supposed to be for Monday Night Football...the voice of the fan.
