Charles Barkley is one of the most entertaining personalities in the league. Netizens are getting a full taste now that the NBA legend has made it into Instagram. Recently, Sir Charles thought of going live on his Instagram, however, he ended up making a simple post. And fans couldn’t help but playfully tease Chuck. After watching Barkley’s live video with TNT colleague Kenny Smith, UFC sensation Nina Marie Daniele also suggested another wild idea. 

Perhaps, the idea wouldn’t be crazy if Barkley did it in his style.

After extensively highlighting the negatives of social media and offering critiques, Chuck ultimately gave up. Just days ago, Sir Charles revealed his Instagram presence during an episode of ‘Inside the NBA,’ which has seen a rise in followers since then. His recent attempt at a live video to celebrate Smith’s birthday also turned funny, gaining hilarious reactions from fans and followers. Model Nina Daniele is also one of them. She took to the comments section to drop a playful warning to Chucks’ followers. She wrote, “Wait till Chuck discovers TikTok LOL”

The Philadelphia 76ers legend confirmed that his Instagram account isn’t meant for his personal enjoyment.

The likelihood of Chuck joining TikTok is slim, but then again none of us anticipated the legend making a debut on Instagram either! Let’s take a look at how fans reacted to Barkley’s first live.
