Charles Barkley opens up about Kobe Bryant’s failure

Charles Barkley recently appeared on an episode of the podcast

‘New Heights,’ hosted by Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce from the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs. While on the show, the trio went over a wide array of topics, including why Chuck gave up on pursuing football, his retirement, and his pick for the NBA finals. They also talked about the late Los Angeles Laker legend, Kobe Bryant. Surprisingly, Bryant was supposed to be a cast member of the ‘NBA On TNT.’ Can you picture how that could’ve gone?

The host then asked Chuck about how having Kobe on the

‘Inside the NBA’ crew would change the show. Chuck then answered his question.

Although, in his response, he ended up taking down Bryant

.”I don’t think his personality…..  I don’t think he’s built to have a lot of fun.” He continued, ” I don’t know like I don’t know if …He’s a great person, I liked him.  Rest in peace yeah like he’s a real serious guy.”
