Everyone loves Charles Barkley for his brutal banter and his unforgiving statements. His outspoken personality has caused him to engage in verbal arguments with many NBA players from the past and present. 

But there is one thing that we all know about Charles Barkley now. If he gets diagnosed with a terminal illness, his dying wish would be to get Skip Bayless on live television as we can all watch Barkley kill Bayless.

For people who haven’t heard about Skip Bayless, he used to work for the ESPN and now runs the show Skip and Shannon: Undisputed, on Fox Sports. Bayless is disliked by many for his senseless comments on the NBA as well as the NFL.

Bayless was also criticized for his infamous comment on LeBron James. He had stated back in 2010 that James can never win an NBA title. James humbled him and put a zip to his words when he led the Miami Heat to the NBA title in 2012.

Charles Barkley wants to kill Bayless as his dying wish

Barkley has a long-standing feud with Skip Bayless. He never liked him for the reason that he seemed like he knew everything. Barkley hated the fact that Bayless spoke like he mastered every sport.

In 2013, on the set of TNT’s NBA show, he said, “If I could get Skip Bayless in a room, you’d need DNA to find out who he was.”

To add to it, about three years ago, Charles Barkley was on ‘The Dan Patrick’ show. He had made startling comments on Bayless which went viral on the media. He said:

“If I get a disease and I’m gonna die, how about you get Skip Bayless in here and I’ll kill him live on national television.”

Patrick liked the idea and asked if it was going to be like a pay-per-view. Now Barkley was too fixed on his idea of killing Skip Bayless and responded, “No, no, no. Just get him in here. Only when I know I’m gonna die…cause I just want to get Skip Bayless in a room one time and beat him like a dog.”

Barkley also stressed that he wants to do it when he knows he’s dying. If he were to live, he wouldn’t do it because he didn’t want to end up inside a prison cell.

However, the fact that Barkley might’ve only joked about the entire idea of it is obvious. But the tone and the conviction with which he narrated his dying wish is just classic Barkley in his zone.
