NBA legend Charles Barkley was infamous for off-the-court antics during his playing career. The 11-time All-Star was an avid gambler and had lost millions gambling. Furthermore, Barkley partied hard as well. Interestingly, he once started his own late-night drinking party at a casino and offered tequila and beer to everyone. At 59, the Philadelphia 76ers legend has now removed himself from all that. Recently, he even said that he intends to spend a quiet night with his grandson for his 60th birthday celebration.
Despite this, the 2000 NBA MVP made some hilarious remarks about Salt Lake City in Utah during the All-Star game. His co-hosts Shaquille O’Neal and others laughed out loud after his comments on Live TV.
