“Jordan Poole Cannot Be a Boxer”: Charles Barkley, Who Once Got Punched by Shaquille O’Neal, Mocks GSW Guard After he Gets Elbowed in Mavs Game
The Draymond Green and Jordan Poole drama created a lot of fuss before the 2022-23 NBA season started, as if teams getting better wasn’t enough for the league’s viewership.
Talking about viewership, who better than Sir Charles Barkley, to get make the best mockery out of any situation, irrespective of serious it might be for the people involved?
And it looks like he is not going to let go of the whole Green punching Poole incident. Not especially when he can still come up with some hilarious jokes out of it.
Charles Barkley mocks Jordan Poole for not being able to defend himself
The Warriors suffered yet another loss on the road when they visited the Mavericks on Tuesday and Barkley was right there to rub salt in their wounds with his wits.
JP was successful in getting hit with Spencer Dinwiddie’s elbow but did not retaliate like any other NBA player, or any athlete for that matter would do after getting hit on the face so hard.
That was enough for Chuck to hysterically call him out on Inside the NBA and say “He cannot be a boxer”.
Nice observation Charles. But that’s why he is a basketball player. Not everyone likes violence.
Chuck was a hot-headed man himself in his time who kinda got punched by Shaq
Do not get fooled by this funny-guy-persona of Charles Barkley, the analyst for NBA on TNT. Along with being one of the greatest forwards of all time, Chuck was a menace on the court, especially if somebody messed with him.
Even if that somebody was 6-7 inches taller and much bigger than him. The man once famously got into a tussle with his long-time studio partner Shaquille O’Neal back in the day, and probably caught something of the left-handed punch the then-Lakers star threw at him.
We know where it’s coming from now, Chuck. The man surely knew some boxing to dodge something that quick. And some wrestling too, by the looks of it.
