NBA legend Charles Barkley has never refused to speak his heart out. The 1993 MVP has always been candid when it comes to things ranging from predicting the outcome of games to cracking jokes. Besides, the Chuckster is as unfiltered as he can be while shedding light on his personal journey as well. Recently, the TNT analyst has spoken his heart out to the NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes‘ best friend and teammate. Besides, Barkley had also confessed that he himself is not a big fan of his name.

Warm moments are a given if Charles Barkley is holding a conversation. His recent interaction with the NFL star was no different as Barkley made a candid request to the Football star. Interestingly, the Chuckster sounded like an effervescent fan-boy while making the request.

Charles Barkley makes a request to Patrick Mahomes’ close friend

Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs teammate Travis Kelce has recently appeared on NBA on TNT’s The Steam Room podcast. Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes are all set to lock horns with the iconic NBA duo, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, on a golf course. The upcoming instalment of Capital One’s ‘The Match’ will see the face-off of the NBA stars and the NFL stars. After Kelce weighed in on the upcoming matchup, Charles Barkley quickly brought Travis Kelce’s and NFL star Jason Kelce’s mother to the picture.

Donna Kelce, the mother of two Super Bowl champions, had recently landed in hot waters after she made a mistake. During the last Super Bowl matchup, the Kelce brother fought against each other. Travis’ Kansas City Chiefs then outsmarted Jason’s Philadelphia Eagles. Apparently, the upcoming season is likely to witness a repeat of the Super Bowl matchup. Donna, who is an avid cheer leader for both her sons, had inadvertently leaked the upcoming NFL season schedule on social media.

Charles Barkley, however, has long overlooked Donna’s mistake. Interestingly, the NBA legend admires Travis Kelce’s mother a lot. “The only thing I ask for you, I gotta meet your mom. Watching her doing the Super Bowl because obviously I am an Eagles fan. I can’t imagine as a mom or a dad having two kids, number one go pro. But also playing in the biggest sporting event against each other. I don’t want to borrow money, I want to meet your mom,” Barkley said to Travis Kelce. In the same episode, Barkley has also hinted he doesn’t like his name.

Charles Barkley is not a fan of his name

During the episode, Travis Kelce had once remarked that he wanted to be like Charles Barkley. Later on, both Ernie Johnson and Chuck agreed that it was quite funny to note that Charles Barkley wanted to be Travis Kelce and Travis wanted to be Barkley. “My mom wouldn’t let me change it though. She says it is your grandfather’s name,” Charles Barkley said.
