Brian Gaines+FollowSir Charles Takes a Stand During NBA LockoutGotta respect Sir Charles for his honesty during the 2011 NBA lockout. Barkley openly questioned whether it was right to accept his TNT salary while the league was shut down, even considering donating it to charity. With the NBA losing $800 million and everyone from players to arena staff hurting, Barkley’s take really hit home. The lockout was a lose-lose, but Chuck’s integrity and support for a fairer league set him apart. What do you think—should more ex-players follow his lead? #Sports #Basketball #CharlesBarkley00Share
Ryan Lopez+FollowChuck Weighs In: NIL & Portal DramaSir Charles dropped some real talk during the Kentucky vs. Indiana clash, calling out the wild west of the transfer portal and NIL deals. Barkley’s all for players getting paid, but he’s not a fan of guys bouncing for better offers every year or G-League vets coming back to college. He says it’s time for some guardrails—otherwise, where’s the stability? What do you all think: is the portal helping or hurting college hoops? #Sports #Basketball #CharlesBarkley00Share
