Recently, Charles Barkley appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to rant about his lost bets on the Philadelphia Eagles. The Kansas City Chiefs had an amazing star on their roster to take the game away from the Eagles in Patrick Mahomes. Understandably, the Phoenix Suns legend couldn’t help but be angry at Mahomes’ amazing performance that made him lose over $100,000 on the game.
“We had a great time, until the game ended,” said Barkley, during the show. He further added, “I love the Eagles and they had a great year. Loved Jalen Hurts and Fletcher Cox and all the guys, but shout out to Pat Mahomes and Travis Kelce.“
When Kimmel enquired about how much did those guys cost Barkley, the 76ers legend had a hilarious comeback.
“I wanted to come by last night and beat the hell out of him[Patrick Mahomes],” joked the 11-time All-Star. Barkley went to Las Vegas with his friends for his annual tradition of betting on the Superbowl. Although Chuck lost a lot of money, he had a lot of fun with his closest friend in Vegas.
