Charles Barkley Criticizes General Managers, Wants to Become One NEW YORK — Charles Barkley thinks he can do better
than some of the general managers he criticizes on TV.

The Hall of Fame player and TNT analyst says he’d like
his chance to run an NBA team, though he’s in no rush because he’d want the
right job.

Barkley says some GMs have done a “bad job, plain and
simple” in making draft picks. He adds that some executives worry only about
keeping their jobs and some organizations aren’t concerned with winning.

Barkley spoke Monday at a luncheon, where he was joined
by Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson, his partners on TNT’s studio show.
