Charles Barkley Purposely Got Fat So He Wouldn’t Get Drafted 🤣 #shorts
I was about 300 lb in college. 6 weeks before the draft, they bring me up. Sixers owner says, “I want you to weigh 285.” So, I went down to Houston, get down about 285. My agent says, “You know the Sixers are over the salary cap. They’re going to get you a one-year contract for $75,000.” I’m like, “Yo, man, I didn’t leave college for $75,000.” He says, “Well, what do you want to do?” I said, “Let’s make sure the Sixers don’t draft me.” Man, I went on an eating spree. I went to Denny’s two straight days, two or three grand slams. We went to the best steakhouse in Texas. I fly into Philly. Man, I’m like $2.99. So, they drafted me and then the owner of Central says, “We can only give you $75,000.” He says, “Why don’t you go to summer league? Show me you can play and I might make some trades.” Man, I went to summer league. I was out there rebounding like a mad man. I was running, jumping, dunking, everything. and up trade two players.

So essentially he tried to force his way in the league, failed and then had to climb out of the bed he made
Charles Barkley strategically became a San Antonio woman to help his career.
And didn't know how to shake a hand
Barkley hasn't shut up since he hit the NBA.
