A photo of Charles Barkley was used in our story about Kenny Smith by mistake. We regret the error and have deleted the original tweet. TNT’s InsideTheNBA sees Kenny Smith walk off the live show in solidarity with players boycott

, walked off the live show after a brief commentary in solidarity with the players and others who are boycotting the league’s playoff games today.

Smith said as a black man and former player, he wasn’t in the right frame of mind to participate in the discussion. “It is not right to be here. ” He then disconnected his microphone and walked off the set. Charles Barkley, another of the panelists and himself a former player, said that “I don’t think we can be shocked” about the players declining to play. “When some of the guys started talking about it the day before, that started the fire.”

Barkley said that it was “appropriate that the Milwaukee Bucks did it. You had to cancel the games tonight after the Bucks did not play.” He added: “You have to cancel tomorrow, too. My question – what is the game plan after that?” Former Laker Shaquille O’Neal called for political change. “You have to root out the evil, work out the problems. Again, make sure you get a new mayor, sheriff, governor, president. You need to put people in place that understand our language, understand our frustrations.”

Or they could use all of the money that was donated to Black Lives Matter. Wonder where that money went...oh that's right it went to the DNC. Liberals have historically screwed over black people for fundraising purposes. Notice a trend? Excellent. Greatness on and off the court. How long before those on the right tell us that peaceful acts of participation in our democracy are not acceptable either?
