Charles Barkley was on Jimmy Kimmel this week and, as usual, the conversation was fascinating.
Barkley doesn’t need talking points. Sit him down and just chat.
Right around the 3:03 mark, Kimmel asked about how Barkley was nearly traded by the Sixers to the Lakers in the early 1990s.
Barkley, who played for the Sixers from 1984-92, recalled a day when he was called by his agent and told that the Sixers were indeed sending him to L.A.
He was so excited to be getting out of Philadelphia that he went out and got bombed with a couple of friends.
