Charles Barkley and his weird takes never come to an end. On his podcast episode with co-host Ernie Johnson, the Philadelphia 76ers legend did not fail to make a controversial statement yet again. Speaking of the worst and best holidays, Barkley straight up went to disrespect billions around the world by making it clear that he hates Christmas. Although the 60-year-old’s Christmas Day celebrations on TNT have been a treat to watch, it looks like he still hates it. What is the reason??

We’ll see but before that a few clips of Barkley on Christmas make his latest statement sound a bit ironic. Have you ever seen Barkley singing jingles with a Christmas hat on? Let’s take a look.

Charles Barkley hates Christmas and here’s why

Johnson and Barkley shared their excitement for Thanksgiving next week and the former player went, “You know, Christmas sucks. It’s the worst holiday ever”. That indeed escalated quickly. Johnson tried his best not to get involved,?“Well, I’m not going there.”

Anyhow, the 1993 MVP wanted to emphasize more about his hate for Christmas. Barkley added,?“Christmas sucks, everybody just wants stuff”. It doesn’t stop here.
