Sir Charles celebrating in Jet's face was great!

Poor Kenny.

Did anyone else see him going ballistic when Paige hit that three? I get he's a UNC alum and all....but wasn't he working? I can't imagine the outrage if Bilas or JayWill acted like him for just one single segment. He's actually worse than what Hubert used to be.

I saw it, and he was definitely working at the time. Not very professional of him. And yes, I can imagine the uproar if Bilas/Williams/Hill did that.

Was Barkley (a) trolling Kenny, (b) an abc fan, or (c) appreciating an exciting finish?

I actually think Kenny is pretty good and fair, and I have no problem w/ his letting a little of his loyalty show off camera like that.

Or (d) watching his bet cash?

But I really don't like Barkley either, but yes that moment was awesome when he celebrated like that in front of Kenny Smith!!

Bilas had to smile last night after loss due to Hubert's behavior on ESPN broadcast during UNC win over Duke.

No cheering in the press box.

I saw that on the DP show this morning. That was so great!

I think Barkley enjoyed celebrating in front of Kenny's face - no doubt. But also, let's remember that Sir Charles played eight years in Philadelphia for the Sixers. I'm sure he's proud of his affiliation with the city of Philadelphia.

I was thinking the same thing when that happened. Sick of the double standard, I'm so glad Barkley did that right in Ant head's face.

Barkley is a fixture in Philadelphia and probably had many sweethearts at Nova.

Kenny Smith is a peon and Barkley was perfect and is sooooooo funny.
