“Tom Brady scores more because of his charm”

During the interview, uploaded on Youtube, Charles recollected his memory of his first meeting with Brady, who was with the Patriots at that time. The former NBA star said, “I made a mistake, Jimmy. I looked Tom Brady in the eyes. I’m looking at all these guys, then all of a sudden I look at Gronk and then Tom Brady’s like right here. I look him in the eyes, and I said, ‘Damn, you a pretty man’.”

Meanwhile, he also jokingly suggested why Brady was so lethal on the field. Barkley continued, “I can see why he scores all them touchdowns because the defense is looking at his eyes, and they get mesmerized. That Tom Brady, he’s a pretty man y’all. He’s a nice guy too, but man, I can’t look him in the eyes again.”

Charles’ bet against New England Patriots

Barkley also admitted something that might not go well with the Patriots’ fans. He once had bet on the Los Angeles Rams against the New England side at the Super Bowl. However, it turned out a wrong decision since Belichick’s men emerged victorious that night. It was a brave decision to reveal his betting history on a live TV show. His fans would love him for being honest.
