Charles Barkley: ‘I Won’t Eat Another Meal Until The Lakers Win’

Charles Barkley is just as famous for his mouth as his ability to crash the boards.

On TNT’s “Inside the Game,” the former NBA all-star announced that he was going to fast until the Los Angeles Lakers get their first win of the year.

That’s a “turrrible” idea, Chuck.

Someone needs to tell Sir Charles just how tough the Lakers upcoming schedule is. Over the next five games, L.A will face off against Charlotte, Memphis, New Orleans, San Antonio and Golden State. Not exactly a walk in the park.

I’m not sure if this is a legitimate bet, or just a clever ruse to cover an upcoming tummy-tuck. Either way, I do respect Barkley’s commitment to the essentials, namely “water and vodka.”

At least he’s got his priorities straight.
