Charles Barkley Slams Kendrick Perkins In Scathing Rant, “Idiot and a Fool”
NBA legend Charles Barkley is known for his candid and humorous opinions, and he didn’t hold back during a recent episode of Inside The NBA. This time, he directed his sharp tongue at ESPN’s Kendrick Perkins for his enthusiastic comments about the coverage of NBA teams. Barkley has been critical of how ESPN often focuses heavily on the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors, regardless of their performance. Recently, both teams made some surprising trades that turned their seasons around, leading to even more intense media coverage. Barkley, however, is tired of it.
The Lakers shocked everyone by trading for superstar Luka Doncic, transforming themselves from struggling to having an impressive winning streak and climbing to second place in their conference. On the other hand, the Warriors revived their competitiveness by acquiring Jimmy Butler, which has helped star player Steph Curry perform at an outstanding level once again. Despite these exciting developments, Barkley thinks ESPN is taking things too far, especially Perkins, who claimed the Lakers “saved the NBA season” with their recent success. In response, Barkley called Perkins an “idiot and a fool” for such an exaggeration, while co-host Shaquille O’Neal couldn’t help but laugh at the situation.
Barkley also took a jab at ESPN for continuously dragging out the debate over the greatest player, Michael Jordan or LeBron James. He expressed his frustration, saying, “We’ve been talking about this for 20 years. Move on!” clearly wanting them to find new topics to discuss. Barkley’s outspoken comments always make waves in the sports world, and his remarks command attention whether people agree with him or not. This latest tirade against Perkins and ESPN is just another example of why Barkley’s voice is significant in the realm of basketball commentary.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”
Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.
Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.
If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.
The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.

NOAH. captures the unspoken signals in enchanting R&B track “That’s Bless”
“That’s Bless” captures the unspoken late-night message, the smile that was exchanged from afar, and the feeling you sense but are afraid to say. NOAH. offers a song with a smoky R&B feel and lyrics that capture unspoken tension, firmly in the realm of emotional ambiguity, where connection is clear but not defined.
This piece concerns the subtle discomfort of mixed signals and quiet longings, when looks say more than words ever could. NOAH. handles the theme with restraint, letting the chemistry simmer rather than explode. NOAH.’s delivery shows a confident gentleness, recognizing that some feelings don’t need strict definitions to be real.
In “That’s Bless,” he captures the essence of connection and the compelling allure that endures, even when both parties pretend it is not there. The composition is based on real-life events, and it acknowledges that specific attachments endure in the heart long after one has persuaded oneself of having progressed.
“That’s Bless” is at the crossroads of closeness and distance, clarity and confusion. The song doesn’t resolve the tension it talks about, and that’s what makes it so powerful. It sums up the connection we say we don’t want but keep coming back to in memory, rhythm, and pulse.
