LaVar Ball: 3 NBA Legends that the 'Big Baller Brand' founder claims he could beat 1-on-1

#2 Charles Barkley

Barkley played for the Phoenix Suns between 1992 and 1996

Charles Barkley is widely regarded as one of the most dominant players of his generation and during a memorable 16-year career, Barkley became just the fourth player in NBA history to record 20,000 points, 10,000 rebounds, and 4,000 assists.

However, as he continued to burst onto the scene in early 2017, LaVar claimed that he could beat Barkley 1-on-1 as the Hall of Famer was 'too big':

He wants to play one-on-one and all this, and he says I averaged two points, who cares? I know he don't want to play one-on-one because he's too big. He better stay behind that TNT thing ... and eat them doughnuts.

The two have sent insults back and forth since LaVar's initial comments, and Barkley eventually challenged LaVar to prove his claim. However, Ball refused the offer, and a potential 1-on-1 battle looks unlikely to happen.
