Charles Barkley was once the most dominant forward in the NBA. People seem to forget how good the Inside the NBA commentator once was. Barkley was the league's MVP in 1993, he made 11 All-Star teams, and he was a five-time all-NBA First Teamer. His failure to ever claim a ring has hurt his legacy, but his squad came this close in '93, only to be thwarted by M.J. and the Bulls.
Simply put, the man could ball. Chuck's athletic ability, however, does not appear to extend to the baseball diamond.
Monday night, during TNT's coverage of Game 1 of Rockets vs. Warriors, the cameras followed the crew as they threw baseballs across the Toyota Center. Chuck's mechanics were...far from pretty.
His pitch was reminiscent of 50 Cent's 2014 atrocity. The clip of Barkley quickly spread, and viewers got a good chuckle out of it.
Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals is set for Wednesday at 9 p.m. EST.
