Charles Barkley says fans shouldn’t be trusted to vote for the NBA All-Star Game because of the mistake they made when they last voted for president. However, Barkley quickly clarified that he didn’t mean the last presidential election but the one before.

“We let the fans vote. Look what happened last time they got to vote for President,” Barkley said.

Fill-in co-host Adam Lefkoe seemed befuddled by Barkley’s response.

Charles walked backward because he’s not yet ready to be cancelled.

So I take it he’s referring to 2016 as the last time Americans got to surprise the syndicate and get their chosen candidate into office.

No. He's a Dim. He meant the 2016 election, forgetting that the most recent election was the 2020 election.

Going to Auburn will do that to ya. LOL

Brother Chuck, you're on the wrong side of the ball.

Don't look down.

I agree with Charles but... no one gives a damn about the NBA All-Star game.

Dribble, dribble, shoot. Repat ad nauseam. How anyone can watch an NBA game is beyond me.

The college game is tolerable - shorter by eight minutes and they do play defense.

A friend of mine is convinced that the entire NBA is just a money laundering scheme for drug money.

Any sport where goaltending is penalized should be avoided.

Reminds me of “my muslim faith”... “You mean your christian faith”... “oh right, my christian faith”.

Barkley can’t choose a lane.

He’s a foul mouthed millionaire weirdo who leans slightly conservative so had to backtrack his statement. I also believe he knows Trump personally, and likes the guy.
