It wouldn’t quite be All-Star Weekend without Charles Barkley interviewing President Barack Obama.
The NBA Hall of Famer sat down with Obama as part of TNT’s coverage of the big game, which airs Sunday night. Barkley is an analyst for the network’s “Inside the NBA” show and a big reason why the program is the top-rated show in its genre.
Barkley’s become known for his ‘real-talk’ analysis of players, teams and games that have made him a favorite among hoops fans and media members alike. Obama is a big fan of the NBA and a former player himself.
Barkley is on record as a “big Obama supporter.” It’s unclear if his interview will cover topics beyond basketball.

Nope. Worse than the Clintons. One would have to squirt Chemo therapy drugs on them to be rid of this cancer.
I suspect soon Obama will be CGI into classics movies like “Maltese Falcon”.
Bet Charles could beat him in golf too.
A friend of mine went to HS with Obama. He said Obama was in the yearbook but he never recalled meeting him or seeing him play basketball or any other sport (my friend played football).
If he means ‘NBA player’, he’s just playing to the low-info crowd, who will believe him. I can imagine bloggers and DU calling him a former NBA player henceforth.
If he means ‘has had pickup games with friends’, that would be ongoing and there’s no reason to modify it with ‘former’.
Or maybe the author is just a bad writer.
The author, Todd Johnson, no doubt has an Affirmative Action degree from a prestigious university.
Will Obama wear a $12,000 dress for the interview?
Under his suit, yes.
