Charles Barkley and Blake Griffin roasted each other at The Match Superstars. The 10th edition of the golf challenge matches is being held at Breakers West Country Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Eight celebrities are competing including Barkley and Griffin. Barkley was paired with MLB legend Ken Griffey Jr. against actor Bill Murray and NHL legend Wayne Gretzky. During the match, Griffin, who has a net worth of $110 million as per Celebrity Net Worth, acted as a commentator.
In a clip shared by Bleachers Report, at one point in the match, Griffin unleashed a volley of roasts at Barkley. Griffin commented on Barkley's golf cart driver and said:
"You're forcing Ken to ride that cart with one leg out."
Griffin didn't stop there. As the video of Ken getting off the golf cart was shown on air, he said:
"Ken just got out and took a deep breath of fresh air. That cart smells like Italian BMTs from Subway. I can't imagine what that cart smells like right now. There's all sorts of olive oil on the seat."
When asked about the experience of sitting next to Charles Barkley, Kenbcompared himself to an eight-month-old puppy hanging out the window to get some air. Barkley even had to change his T-shirt during the tournament because of a lot of sweating where he had a hilarious moment.
Charles Barkley also didn't miss any opportunity to roast Blake Griffin. When Griffin was competing and he missed the hole, Barkley questioned his gameplay and said:
"How do you win closest to the hole and lose the hole?
Griffin was paired with comedian Nate Bargatze against Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps and Mark Wahlberg.
