As the “Inside the NBA” crew readied to react to Denver’s dominant win over Phoenix in the Western conference semifinals, they couldn’t resist taking a dig at Charles Barkley’s “Auburn education” frequently referenced on the Emmy-winning TNT show.

Producers put a viewer tweet on screen referencing a prior segment during which Barkley’s math didn’t add up. During a postgame interview with Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray, Barkley asked the Canadian-born player his age (26) and noted Saturday night marked the first time the Toronto Maple Leafs had won an NHL playoff series since he was 12. The team had not won since 2004 — that’s 19 years, not the 14 that avid hockey fan Barkley deduced.

The tweet shared on screen showed an image of a confused “SpongeBob SquarePants” character Patrick Star with the text reading “26- 19=12????? Auburn education at its finest.”

“Auburn University,” former LSU star Shaquille O’Neal quipped, as Ernie Johnson (a huge Georgia Bulldogs fan) said, “War Eagle.”

Always a good sport, Barkley laughed at himself and said, “Hey, I didn’t graduate, in fairness…I’m gonna go back if I need a degree one day.”

He wasn’t done. “And just for the record, I’m doing pretty damn good for a college dropout!”

“Yes, you are,” Johnson said. “That’s for sure.”

After they broke down the Nuggets’ win over the Suns, the TNT producers shared more tweets, starting with the well-known “confused John C. Reilly” gif and text reading, “Chuck sitting class @AuburnU.”

Barkley played three seasons at Auburn from 1981 to 1984, averaging 14 points per game and nearly 10 rebounds a game during his college career. He was drafted fifth overall by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 1984 NBA Draft. He also played for the Phoenix Suns and Houston Rockets before retiring in 2000. He led the Suns to the NBA Finals in 1993 after winning the regular season MVP award. Barkley was an 11-time NBA All-Star and reached All-NBA status 11 times.

Since retiring, Barkley has enjoyed a hugely successful career as an analyst for Turner Sports, appearing on TNT’s “Inside the NBA” alongside host Ernie Johnson and fellow panelists Shaquille O’Neal and Kenny Smith.
