Charles Barkley is looking to give back to his hometown in Alabama.
During a recent interview with WJOX 94.5, Barkley revealed that he plans to sell memorabilia from his NBA career to build affordable housing in his hometown of Leeds, Ala.
"We've probably got 30 eyesores, as I call them, where houses used to be when I was growing up. Either a rotted-up house or there's just weeds that are overgrown," Barkley said. "I want to work with the city of Leeds, I want them to give me the spaces, number one. I want them to give me the houses, and I'm going to use my own money selling my memorabilia.
