Nearly 30 years after leaving Auburn, Charles Barkley still embraces the rivalry with Alabama.
So much so that he went on TNTās āInside the NBAā on Thursday evening wearing a bloodied bandage around his head. When host Ernie Johnson asked Barkley what happened, Barkley gave the perfect deadpan answer.
āErnie, youāre not gonna believe this,ā Barkley said to Johnson. āBeing the Auburn guy that I am, I wanted to be first class. I went down to the University of Alabama to congratulate the Crimson Tide on winning a BCS Championship and I got mugged. I got mugged in Tuscaloosa, Ernie, and my credit cards are missing.ā
Earlier this week, four Alabama players were arrested and charged with second-degree assault after assaulting two different people and taking oneās computer and the otherās student ID that was later used to by snacks. Two of the Alabama players were charged with fraudulent credit card use.
Kenny Smith called Barkley and āAlabama haterā and asked him to āleave them kids alone.ā
Barkley replied: āOh, itās my fault they bugginā people?ā
Barkley is known for his antics and this stunt was no surprise. There arenāt many opportunities for Auburn fans to pick on Alabama these days, so Barkley has to capitalize on his chances.
