Once a NBA champion.
Now he’s infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Charles Barkley said earlier this week on that if he came across a black person wearing a shirt with Trump’s mugshot, he’d punch him in the face.
That caused a backlash among many.
But don’t worry, he said he won’t go around punching people.
That is, “unless they had Trump sneakers on too.”

Breitbart reports:
Former NBA player Charles Barkley said Wednesday on CNN’s “King Charles” that black people who wear former President Donald Trump’s mugshot-related merchandise are freakin’ idiots.
Co-host Gayle King said, “I don’t know if you know, normally, you know, we’re sitting here and we don’t make the news, but this past week, Charles, I don’t know if you know but you’ve been in the news for some comments you made on our last show.”
Last Wednesday, Barkley said, “If I see a black person walking around with Trump mug shot I’m going to punch him in the face.”
Barkley said, “Number one, obviously, I’m not gonna go around punching random strangers in the face – first and foremost. Secondly, people can vote for who they want to. People can vote for who they want to. The point I was trying to make, no, the point I was making, I wasn’t trying to make it – when Donald Trump compares his plight with that of the black person, that is what I had a problem with.”
King said, “But you aren’t gonna go just randomly attacking people in the street. That’s the only point I wanted to make.”
Barkley said, “Unless they had Trump sneakers on too.”
Charles Barkley goes on @CNN and says he will viciously assault black Americans who wear a Trump shirt and CNN’s host @GayleKing laughs it off.

And to think I used drink out of a Dream Team McDonald’s cup with his image on back during the 1992 Summer Olympics. If I still had it, I’d have to chuck it.
Bonus: This reminds me of what Kanye West said about Charles Barkley.
That “they can control him”.
In light of @RyanGarcia’s/Tate Space today…we need answers.
“They can control Shaq, Charles Barkley, LeBron…they control Jay-Z and Beyoncé…but not me. My Mom was sacrificed, Michael Jordan’s Dad, Bill Cosby’s son, Dr. Dre’s son…people go missing in Hollywood…” -Kanye West pic.twitter.com/72kq91CtkQ
