Look, knowing where every single player in the NBA plays can be a daunting task. There are more than 400 players in the league and there was a whirlwind of transactions throughout this shortened offseason.
Keeping up with all of that is tough, but it’s definitely possible. And it’s sort of expected when you’re an analyst who is paid millions of dollars to talk about the NBA.
Unless, you’re Charles Barkley, apparently. He has been historically bad at NBA on TNT’s “Who he play for?” quiz where they ask Barkley who obscure NBA players play for. He once failed two weeks in a row. This is par for the course for him.
That trend didn’t change on Tuesday night’s show. He was asked where Solomon Hill, Ed Davis, James Johnson, Alfonzo McKinnie and Garrett Temple were playing. He had absolutely no idea.
It was hilarious and cringeworthy all at once.

Those aren’t even the most obscure NBA players out there. They’ve all played significant minutes somewhere along the line and might end up contributing this season. Somehow, Barkley has no idea where they play.
He was so bad he was left speechless.
Ernie absolutely roasts Chuck when he claims the public won't know the players on Who He Play For either, Charles is speechless pic.twitter.com/fe5wfO5hlE
