Charles Barkley might be worth millions today, 50 million Dollars to be precise but what if he wasn’t who he was? Where would he be? 

Charles Barkley, NBA legend, revered host on Inside the NBA, and a McDonald’s aficionado? Well, yes if we’re going by his early years and the flurry of stories that came out he would be described as a fan of McDonald’s.

There was that infamous story about him on an exercise bike, yelling at his teammates, all the while devouring a big mac? we presume.

He also once said that he never made the McDonalds All-American team but he sure ate a lot of them.

But what if he wasn’t a basketball player? What if he wasn’t 6’5 tall?
