Charles Barkley would rather watch Game 7 than Cavs-Celtics
Charles Barkley prefers actual competition.
The former NBA great and current TNT broadcaster was basically done with Game 5 between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics at halftime Thursday.
He wanted to watch Game 7 - what was left of it - between the Ottawa Senators and Pittsburgh Penguins instead:
Charles Barkley just walked into the media room and asked if we could put the hockey game on. He said he bet on Ottawa.

Here's a video of Barkley letting his feelings be known:

There's nothing better than Game 7 of an NHL playoff game. And overtime, to boot! Barkley knows what's up.
The Cavs destroyed the Celtics, by the way, and LeBron James is off to his seventh straight NBA Finals.
