Soak it all in for the next two years, folks: After a decade and a half of hearing Charles Barkley describe things as “turrible,” the stalwart NBA analyst is thinking of leaving TNT when his contract expires in two years. Here’s Barkley, via SportingNews.com:

“I love my job, I love the people I work with. My big decision is, I’ve got two years left on my deal. That’ll be 17 years. That’s a long time to do a job. I would rather leave too early than stay too long. And 17 years is a long time. I told Ernie [Johnson] when I took the job, I was only going to be here four years. Now 15 years later, I’m still here. I’m leaning heavily toward it, toward finishing my two years and leaving on a good note.”

The ex-NBA star opened up about his past, present and future in a long and winding series of thoughts expressed at a Monday morning event at the Time Warner Center, where TNT is based. His colleagues and broadcast partners, including Johnson, Shaquille O’Neal and Kenny Smith, joined him in the 90-minute talk.

Besides his job at the cable channel, Barkley also spoke openly about his faltering friendship with Michael Jordan, who now owns the Charlotte Hornets. The two had once been friends, but had a famous falling out after Barkley criticized Jordan’s management skills in 2012 when the Hornets were still called the Bobcats. Barkley thinks Jordan’s off-court skills have improved, but Jordan, according to Barkley, has yet to come around on him.

“It’s unfortunate we’re not friendly, but I still love him, and he’s doing a good job now. Phil Jackson actually said the same thing I did, but I wonder if he is still speaking to Phil Jackson? I said that Michael had to get rid of the people around him. You can’t have your friends working for you. You have to surround yourself with good basketball people, and he had not done that. I love what he did with Al Jefferson, I love what he did with Lance [Stephenson], I love the kid Noah Vonleh. He’s done a good job — but he had not done a good job up until then. It has obviously put a strain on our relationship. We’re not together anymore.”

Barkley added that he doesn’t think Jordan has the type of personality that would lead him to patch things up with Barkley and that he himself doesn’t have the type of personality to embrace Jordan fully again, either. Again via Sporting News:

“It’s not in my personality, either. I am not going to go and apologize for what I said. Remember the year they were going for the worst record in NBA history, and I said, ‘Hey, Michael has got to do a better job, get rid of the flunkies around him and hire real basketball people.’ He does that now. He has done a great job now that he got rid of the flunkies and hired real basketball people. But he can’t hear the good stuff.”

Barkley touched on two other topics in detail on Monday morning, as well.

First, he reiterated his thoughts on whether Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is “black enough.” (He is, says Barkley, who thinks the whole debate is stupid and self-destructive, largely echoing what he told a CBS radio station in Philadelphia.)

Barkley also shared his opinion on the NFL’s handling of the Ray Rice case and domestic violence in general, calling the league’s seemingly continuous missteps on the matter “a joke.” Via SportingNews.com:
