Charles Barkley misses Buddy Hield three times in one 'Who He Play For' segment

Barkley went 0 for 5 on Inside the NBA on Thursday, got a redo with the same five players and went 2 for 5. A third try still didn't get Hield to Chicago.

Charles Barkley went 0 for 5 on "Who He Play For" on Thursday night's Inside the NBA, and then the crew gave him the same five players again, a redo Arizona Sports called unprecedented for the segment.

Ernie Johnson's opening list was Moe Wagner, Buddy Hield, Taurean Prince, Mo Bamba and Aaron Wiggins, all players who changed teams in the offseason. Barkley put Wagner on the Charlotte Hornets. He's with the Brooklyn Nets. "Why would I watch Brooklyn play basketball?" Barkley said, according to Yahoo Sports. He guessed Milwaukee for Hield, who plays for the Chicago Bulls, Memphis for Prince, who is in Detroit, Indiana for Bamba, who is in Utah, and Portland for Wiggins, who is with the Atlanta Hawks. He also had Garrett Temple, the segment's unofficial Hall of Famer, coaching in Phoenix. Temple is an assistant with the Dallas Mavericks.

Barkley argued it was too early in the season to play. "We've only played three nights," he said. Shaquille O'Neal turned to Kenny Smith and asked how many Barkley would get if they replayed the whole game right then. Barkley said four out of five.

He got two. Wagner and Bamba came back right. Hield, Prince and Wiggins did not, even though he had just been told the answers. "This is the greatest game of who he play for of all time," Johnson said, and they ran it a third time.

On the third pass Barkley got Wagner, Prince and Bamba, according to Arizona Sports, and missed Hield and Wiggins again. "We gave him the answers and he still failed the test," Smith said. Barkley's defense was "I got a lot going on, man."

The fan channel Chaz NBA posted the segment on Oct. 23, crediting ESPN's Inside the NBA. Johnson later called the show his "get to" job and wrote, "This was amazing," Yahoo Sports reported.
