He backtracked later on, eventually stating that he would be with the network as long as the NBA would be on it, and he'd work with TNT leadership to develop new shows and additional sports content.

The Hall of Famer said on "The Dan LeBatard Show" he turned down "a minimum of $100 million" in order to stay at TNT.

Barkley said the experience was "really humbling and cool."
