I’m officially putting NBA’s Halftime Report in as being one of my top 5 programs on TV right now.  Since there are virtually no good shows anymore on network television, watching Charles Barkley banter with Kenny and Ernie is most definitely worth my time.

And boy did Charles deliver last night.  The guy went on for at least 10 minutes about Sammy Sosa and being proud to be black.  He went on to pose all kinds of questions about what would happen if he became white.

Then what’d he do?  He had a makeup artist make his skin lighter.  I love Charles.  Not to mention the guy actually understands the game and tells it like it is.  I love when he says stuff like “they’re just not a good team.”  It’s awesome.

His colleague Kenny Smith shouted “Say it loud!” before continuing, “I’m black and I’m proud.” Barkley then asked Smith, “If I become white, am I allowed to eat chicken and hamhocks?”

If you guys aren’t watching these three during NBA on TNT then you really need to.  The only video evidence I have found of this is located at Huffington Post but I’m sure we’ll see something on youtube by the end of today.
