Despite Boasting About His Changed Game, Charles Barkley Suffers a Bitter Verdict Behest of Stephen Curry And Other NBA Legends

The upcoming Golf Tournament in Tahoe is expected to draw a lot of prominent individuals from different fields. In attendance are likely to be basketball stars, Charles Barkley and Stephen Curry. Barkley has been working hard to improve his game since last year, and he is confident that he will finish at least in the top 70 of the event. But Curry and other NBA legends test Barkley’s bold claim, questioning his ability to pull off such a task. 

Fans are looking forward to seeing if Barkley can back up what he says on the golf course, which adds to the excitement of the event. The rivalry between these well-known athletes and their friendship off the court set the stage for an event that will be fun to watch. It sure will spark discussions among golf and basketball fans alike.

NBA stars Stephen Curry, Dell Curry, and Andre Iguodala consider Barkley’s chances doubtful

Golf Sub-par recently polled 25 celebrities on their expectations for Barkley’s performance in the upcoming competition. Most of the celebrities’ polls expressed skepticism about his chances. Surprisingly, the poll results came in from NBA luminaries such as Stephen Curry, Dell Curry, and Andre Iguodala. They all seemed to agree that Barkley didn’t have a chance to pull off such a miraculous achievement.

Skepticisms from fraternity suggest there’s enough reason to doubt Barkely’s claim. And when it’s coming from the likes of Curry and his father, it does put doubt in everyone’s minds. While there’s a noticeable improvement in his gaming skills since last year, he faces swinging difficulties. His prior struggles on the golf course might also affect his peer’s judgments about him. 

Despite widespread skepticism, some people maintained an upbeat outlook on Barkley’s potential. Among the 4 people who thought Barkley might make the top 70 was NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers said, “I’m gonna say inside and he’s gonna beat Brian (Baumgartner)”  & country music singer Jake Owen. They may have trust in Barkley since they have seen him improve and grow as a player since the last tournament.

Ignoring the naysayers, Barkley said, “I’m not worried about the other 21.”

Charles Barkley, after knowing only 4 out of the 25 thought he will make it through the top 70, said, “I am not worried about the other 21” 

He admitted that his success in previous years had been affected by both his lack of fitness and the fact that he had gained over 100 pounds after having hip surgery. “My lack of conditioning killed me”, added Barkley. 

Barkley stressed that he has been working hard to get better since then. He said he has lost over 60 pounds and worked hard on improving his total ability.

He even claims to be confident in his ability to go ahead and perform better in upcoming events. He’s been putting efforts into his health and takes a fresher perspective on the sport. Barkley is more optimistic about his golfing future now that he’s lost weight and improved his stance.
