Naismith Hall of Famer and TNT studio analyst Charles Barkley maintains he would have done an excellent job if given a chance to run the Orlando Magic’s front office when the opportunity apparently arose in 2017. “I was very disappointed I didn’t get the job (three) years ago,” Barkley said in an episode of “The Lowe Post” podcast released Tuesday. “They were great to me to a certain degree, but I thought I should have got the job, to be honest with you,” the 57-year-old added. “They went a different direction. I think I’d be great at the job because I’m smart enough to hire people who know what they’re doing.”

“It’s extremely heartbreaking and that’s what events like this are all about — firefighters have a job, the police have a job and I feel like the church has a job, too,” Isaac told reporters. “So many churches around the country and globe have done a great job of helping people out and that’s what we’re trying to do now. Everybody is affected, so I think it shows us the perspective of how short and critical life is and it shows us how [life] can be here today and gone tomorrow. So our ability to band together, show faith and love are important, and we can’t be too afraid to step outside and help somebody else.”
