Charles Barkley had a decorated 16-year career that landed him in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Following his retirement, the 1992-1993 NBA MVP has become one of the most popular voices on television. Barkley participated in a segment where he discussed his 'icks' while a voice filter was used.
The first 'ick' mentioned was wearing underwear to which the eleven-time All-Star stated:
"They weren't comfortable so I burned 'em, like twenty years ago. It's a big ol' fire too. I want to make sure it was all gone."
Barkley was later asked why he drops names every time he has a conversation, to which he responded:

"Just because I know famous people and y'all are nobodies. Why do I get penalized I get to hang out with somebodies?... I was using it in the proper context."
Barkley also discussed blaming his Inside the NBA co-host Ernie Johnson whenever things go wrong, as well as licking his phone screen with his tongue as a way to clean it.

Charles Barkley revealed that he has no plans to work past the age of 60 years old
Charles Barkley will have a milestone birthday next month as he turns 60 years old. The NBA Hall of Famer could be headed to an early retirement, as he revealed that he has no plans to work past 60. He said he doesn't want to work up until his death. Speaking to 106.7 The Fan, Barkley stated:
"I'm trying to hang off for another couple of years until I am 60, and then they can kiss my a**. I'm only working until 60, I'm not working until the day I die, that is stupid. If i don't have any money by now, I'm stupid, and they should fire me anyway."
Barkley elaborated, noting that the job has become less fun:
"You can't even have fun these days without these jacka**es trying to get you cancelled and things like that. We've had fun all these years & now all of a sudden in the last year and a half everybody is trying to get everybody fired. They won't even let me talk about San Antonio anymore. I'm always talking about big ole women down in San Antonio."
It is unclear if Barkley will walk away from the gig anytime soon, however, he reportedly signed a new ten year contract that will pay him between $100 and $200 million.
