Over the years, Charles Barkley has never held back his punches in mocking his fellow hosts Shaquille O’Neal, Ernie Johnson, and Kenny Smith on TNT’s Inside the NBA. Interestingly, the Hall of Famer’s candid attitude can be traced back to his early days in the NBA. Nonetheless, the Phoenix Suns legend continues to speak his mind and fearlessly take shots. However, even his only daughter recently couldn’t escape the wrath of her father’s hilarious yet bold antics. Barkley, who just turned 60 a few days back, took the center stage alongside his Inside the NBA crew at the 2023 NBA All-Star festivities in Utah. 

However, his daughter, Christiana Barkley, made his 60th birthday even special with the ‘perfect’ present, only to get trolled by him on the Steam Room podcast.

In the latest episode of the Steam Room podcast, Barkley, alongside Ernie Johnson, covered the All-Star weekend, Travis Kelce, Aaron Rodgers ‘Darkness Retreat’, and more. However, they started off the episode by discussing the 11x All-Star’s 60th birthday. While doing so, Barkley gave a special shout out to his daughter, Christiana Barkley, only to take an uncalled shot at her. He said, “Shoutout to my daughter; all I wanted to do was spend the day with my grandson, and she let me have the little man, and it was a perfect day. ” 

After thanking her daughter for letting him spend time with his grandson, Barkley harped on her recent pregnancy and left a hilarious yet insensitive remark. He said, “She is pregnant again; yeah, they are getting it in. Henry’s [Barkey’s first grandson] is like 10, 11 months, and she’s like five months pregnant. I mean, damn, take a night off yall”.

However, Barkley seemingly comes off as a hypocrite with his comments on his daughter’s personal life.
