Charles Barkley prefers actual competition.
The former NBA great and current TNT broadcaster was basically done with Game 5 between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics at halftime Thursday.
Charles Barkley just walked into the media room and asked if we could put the hockey game on. He said he bet on Ottawa.

Here's a video of Barkley letting his feelings be known:

There's nothing better than Game 7 of an NHL playoff game. And overtime, to boot! Barkley knows what's up.
The Cavs destroyed the Celtics, by the way, and LeBron James is off to his seventh straight NBA Finals.
