For the second year in a row, Charles Barkley took home the Emmy Award for Outstanding Sports Personality in the Studio Analysts category.

Barkley was beaten out by Kirk Herbstreit back in 2011 and 2010 in his first two nominations, but he has become the champion he never was in the NBA ever since. Of course, Barkley is a member of the halftime show Inside the NBA, which airs during every TNT game broadcast.

Barkley’s brash, honest style makes him incredibly likable and relatable to the average NBA fan, and he doesn’t try too hard to turn a joke or make fun of one of his fellow analysts.

Chuck’s had a great 13 years with TNT, creating some stellar chemistry with Ernie Johnson and Kenny Smith, and even going the extra mile to try to make Shaquille O’Neal fit in more with the team.
