In his recent interview on the Jennifer Hudson Show, the 11-time All-Star revealed why Brady wasn’t his “man crush” any longer.

“Well I just had to get rid of Tom Brady, cause he retired,“ said Barkley. He further added, “…I met him a couple times and I made the mistake of looking him in the eyes, and once I looked him in the eyes I don’t remember anything he said after that. Now that he’s retired and I have to get rid of him, the next guy…and I haven’t met the next guy…Idris Elba. I’ve got to meet that guy, he looks so cool to hang out and just be around.”
