Charles Barkley gets to try ‘Who He Play For?’ again, and again

Longstanding basketball studio show Inside the NBA took its annual tradition of testing Charles Barkley’s roster knowledge on “Who He Play For?” to another level on Thursday.

Every year, Barkley guesses what team certain role players and/or journeymen play for, and it usually goes poorly. Barkley went 0-for-5 on Thursday, which is not unusual. What was different was Shaquille O’Neal’s reaction:

“If we replay the game right now, how many will he get?”

So, in an unprecedented move for the program, Barkley got to try again! Barkley predicted he would get four out of five this time, but his confidence outweighed his retention skills.

“This is the greatest game of who he play for of all time,” host Ernie Johnson exclaimed after Barkley got two right.

“Hold on, one more time!”

Barkley nailed Moe Wagner to the Brooklyn Nets, but no one could contain their laughter when he incorrectly guessed Buddy Hield for the third straight go.

He got Taurean Prince to the Detroit Pistons and Mo Bamba to the Utah Jazz correct, but his final guess for Aaron Wiggins was wrong again.

Hield plays for the Chicago Bulls and Wiggins for the Atlanta Hawks.

“We gave him the answers, and he still failed the test!” Kenny Smith said.

Barkley has been on Inside the NBA since 2000 and always goes viral for his misadventures during “Who He Play For.” As he mulls retirement, this latest attempt would constitute as going out with a bang.
