Legend Garrett Temple makes Inside the NBA appearance as Barkley takes on “Who he play for?”
A fitting face for the game
Temple played 16 NBA seasons for 12 different teams. His long career of moving among franchises made him closely associated with Inside the NBA’s “Who he play for?” segment.
In the recurring game, Barkley tries to name the teams of NBA journeymen. Temple’s longest stay with one team was four years with the Washington Wizards, from 2012 to 2016.
Barkley takes another turn
On Wednesday night, Temple appeared on Inside the NBA with Barkley for a special version of the game. This time, Barkley had to name teams where Temple had actually played.
Barkley correctly identified four of the six teams. He also knew Temple had not played for Dallas, despite Temple’s current role as an assistant coach with the Mavericks.
A playful appearance
Temple joined Barkley and the Inside the NBA crew in good spirits. The two also exchanged lighthearted college sports banter: Temple supports the LSU Tigers, while Barkley supports the Auburn Tigers.
