[Charles Barkley questions Adam Silver on the NBA’s addressing of domestic violence incidents](https://theathletic.com/4995911/2023/10/24/charles-barkley-adam-silver-nba-domestic-violence-program/?source=user_shared_article)
> Barkley’s question came at the end of Silver’s interview segment and it appeared that the former star was going off-script by asking the question, as he seemed to brush off a call for the show to go on commercial break.
> The Athletic confirmed with a television source onsite in Denver who agreed to speak under the condition of anonymity that Barkley’s question was on the spot and not scripted.

Definitely true. Imagine scripting something like that with Barkley and feeling secure that he would keep the secret under wraps. lol
Barkley dont give a F anymore lmao, respect, its not like they can afford to fire him.
Then Nosferatu handled it pretty well if true.
What’s the question?
Gigachad Barkley
Chuck knows he can ask that without repercussions from the league. Good on him to put Silver on the spot and catch him completely off guard.
Given silvers complete alphabet soup corporate talk response I’m not surprised
I don’t need a television source to know that
i was able to confirm that from my couch. respect to charles
What are they gonna do? Fire him?
Well someone HAD to ask it so I’m glad chuck did
That means a lot. Sure it’s Charles Barkley but it’s still a risk to do this. Very honorable of him.
Good on Chuck for asking silver and getting an unscripted answer
Dumbasses really thought there would be an approved question about domestic violence on opening night.
Adam Silver is a worthless candyass. Bravo, Chuck.
Good on Chuck, the NBA and its teams need to be grilled on this
That’s called using your platform for good. Chuck always delivers.
Good on Chuck for keeping it real.
It’s not just Barkley having the guts to ask it, I give him credit for actually giving a shit when nobody seems to give a shit.
Charles is really a good guy
Barkley raw doggin the commissioner on live tv is the realest shit ever.
Barkley for commissioner?
Gotta love Chuck!
Barkley signing to CNN in the office season changed him. I like it.
No shit. Adam was clearly not prepared
We gotta riot when they cancel Chuck.
Respect to Barkley putting Silver on the spot like that.
Silvers answer was terrible. “Cutting edge therapist”??
