Charles Barkley was on “The Dan Patrick Show” on Thursday and professed his hatred for Skip Bayless the only way Charles Barkley could – by shocking listeners and saying that he wants to kill him. Barkley said that if he ever was coming close to death because of an incurable sickness, or should we say a disease that is “turrminal, just turrminal,” that he would fight and kill Skip Bayless on live national television.
From The Dime:
Barkley: “You know what we should do for ratings? 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: “I like it. Like pay-per-view.”
Barkley: “No, no, no. Just get him in here. Only when I know Imma die….Cause I just want to get Skip Bayless in a room one time and beat him like a dog.”
Patrick: “So you’d kill him.”
Barkley: “Yes. Only if I knew I was gonna die. Not if I’m gonna live, cause I don’t wanna go to prison. Cause like Mahorn say, ‘they would love you in prison.’”
Can someone contact Barkley’s doctor to play an innocent practical joke on Sir Charles with a dire health prognosis?
Other highlights from the interview:
Barkley said he only smoked weed five times in his life. He didn’t love the experience because all it did was make him want to eat potato chips. He also told the story of how he was hosting “Saturday Night Live” and the musical guest was Nirvana. While Chuck was in his dressing room, he got contact high because a “big mushroom cloud” escaped their room every time the door was open.
Charles also discussed Lavar Ball, and even said he would probably take Ball #1 in the NBA Draft, but would also consider Josh Jackson to be the best college basketball player.
Charles said that legendary Detroit Pistons coach Chuck Daily told Barkley that he was the second best basketball player he’s seen after Michael Jordan.
Sir Charles also talked about betting on golf against Michael Jordan.
