Charles Barkley was notably captivated by Cardi B’s halftime performance during Game 3 of the NBA Finals, sharing his thoughts openly on the “Inside the NBA” show.

During the broadcast, host Ernie Johnson humorously remarked that they were competing with Cardi B for attention.

Barkley made a playful comment implying Cardi B’s figure, saying, “I don’t know if those are B’s. They might be Cardi D’s.”

The performance featured songs including “Bodega Baddie” from Cardi B’s latest album, “Am I The Drama?”, and her hit “Bodak Yellow.”

Cardi B is known for her strong connection to Madison Square Garden, having performed there during her Little Miss Drama tour earlier this year.

The Knicks ultimately lost the game to the San Antonio Spurs but still lead the NBA Finals 2-1.
