Sometimes it’s a boon and sometimes a bane, but Charles Barkley has never been one to control his tongue. In fact, he has often gotten into trouble for making controversial remarks about various topics, but that’s what makes him entertaining.
There is one person that Barkley has not shied away from bashing, and that’s his former agent, Lance Luchnik. Anyone would be amazed to see how much hatred Charles has for him.

Barkley stated, “So my first agent was a crook. So he stole all my money. So after four years, I was broke. I don’t want to mention his name. Lance Luchnick, that’s this a**hole’s name…. so, he um, he stole… ye-yeah, so he stole all my money. So after four years, I was broke…”
“He’s a scumbag. If I see him today, I’d blow his damn brains out. I hate that S.O.B. His name is Lance Luchnick. He’s a scumbag,” he added.
What did Lance Luchnik do to the Hall of Famer?
Barkley narrated, “Well back then, I think players are a lot more smarter now. Your agent got your paycheck, he gave you an allowance, and he ‘invested’ the rest of your money. I was getting $15,000 a month allowance just to have fun with and I’m a 21-year old kid.”

“You can’t give me [that money]. I think I was given $15,000 allowance. That came at the first of every month and man I didn’t care. He said, ‘I’m investing the rest.’ I’m like, ‘OK.’ And after four years, I was broke, hadn’t paid taxes. Like I said, I don’t want to mention his name — Lance Luchnick,” he concluded.

Charles went on to explain that stealing is one of the worst things you can do to someone. It’s a sign of disrespect for all the hard work the person has put into earning it. He isn’t wrong but maybe making threats about killing Luchnik is a little too much?
