Howard grilled by Chuck during awkward TNT appearance
Dwight Howard thought he was making a guest appearance on TNT, but instead walked into an intervention.
Sitting in place of Shaquille O'Neal, Howard endured a line of questioning from Charles Barkley about his reputation in the league, whether or not he will opt out of his deal, and his relationship with James Harden.
"Why do you think people dont like you? Lakers sayin all those bad things " -Charles

Howard added that he is "always interested in winning", and admitted he has been upset with teammates - likely Harden - taking over games.
