During his long stint on national television, Charles Barkley has come off as a playful and notorious analyst, who has a knack to pull his co-host’s legs. He carefully analyses and grades the NBA with his own set of principles. However, when it comes to one man, all morals seem to fly out for Barkley. This is of course the case with celebrated analyst Skip Bayless.

Charles Barkley went a little too far in his hatred for Skip Bayless

Barkley has had everlasting hate for the 71-year-old analyst. He is often instigating their feud, trying to draw something from Bayless, or just venting out his frustrations. Recently while appearing on Barstool’s Spittin’ Chiclets podcast, the 60-year-old admitted he likes, “f*****g with him because he’s so sensitive and s**t.”. For the most part, Bayless has stayed quiet despite being pounded for well over a decade. Yet after this incident, he hit back at Barkley.

On his show, Bayless admitted his wife and mother-in-law have grown frustrated with Barkley’s relentless mockery of the Undisputed host. Not only that, but Bayless said he will “no longer turn the other cheek” to the 11-time All-Star’s repeating jabs. Looking at the reactions from Bayless and his family you might wonder – just how far has Barkley taken this one-sided beef? A recent video making the rounds might clear your mind.
