When Kevin Garnett witnessed the power of Charles Barkley and his trash talk for the first time

Sir Charles Barkley had numerous trash-talking tales in the NBA. One such incident happened on December 10 1996, when Minnesota Timberwolves played against Houston Rockets in the regular season.

Kevin Garnett witnessed the power of Sir Charles trash-talking from the bench of the Timberwolves. Charles’s Rockets were leading the game by 2 points. With no time left on the clock, Chris Carr of Timberwolves was sent to the free-throw since he was fouled in the last possession.

Charles said something to Carr resulting in him missing the free throw. He said, “I told him you couldn’t get a pen up his ass with a jackhammer. He was little tight on that one” to the reporter who inquired about the trash talking.
