When legendary basketball player Charles Barkley interviews somebody, expect it to be silly, serious and slightly ridiculous all at the same time.

With Alabama coach Nick Saban as his guest, Barkley didn't hold back, grilling Saban about his cooking preferences, golf game and race issues.

After greeting Saban, Barkley and the coach started talking preseason plans, which includes Saban allowing his team a long weekend before the season starts. For Saban, that means time at his lake house and playing golf.
