TNT analyst and NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley has been open about favoring the NHL‘s Stanley Cup Playoffs over the NBA Playoffs all spring.
Charles Barkley prefers the Stanley Cup playoffs to the NBA playoffs: "It's not been a lot of fun broadcasting games this year."

Barkley is apparently in attendance at Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Nashville Predators.

Prior to the start of the game, Sir Charles crashed his buddy Wayne Gretzky‘s press conference and asked him who his favorite black athlete is.
Naturally, Gretzky said Grant Fuhr, who was his Edmonton Oilers teammate back in the day.
Check out the exchange below.
