Charles Barkley’s Auburn fails to secure the Iron Bowl

The football fans at Alabama will spend the rest of their nights calling out Barkley on social media for Auburn’s heartbreak. The Tigers had a one-point lead entering the last quarter, followed by which they secured a 3-point touchdown. Forty seconds away from securing the Iron Bowl, Alabama’s Jalen Milroe found Isiah Bond in the back corner of the end zone.?

Bond caught a 31-yard pass for the touchdown, giving Bama a 27-24 lead, leaving just 30 seconds on the clock for Auburn. This last-minute turnaround created chaos on the internet as Crimson Tide fans showered Bond and Milroe with love.?

Barkley has always been confident in his alma mater. Especially when it comes to Iron Bowl, the 1993 MVP gets a bit too excited. Apart from this, Barkley has immense hate for the fans of Alabama.

In an interview, the NBA icon shared, “Alabama is a great program, I got a lot of friends that played there. You know how much love and respect I have for Coach Saban.?But I just hate their fans because they?re obnoxious and entitled.”?

Well, now that Auburn has lost, this will be the perfect time for the fans to give a reply!?

Charles Barkley gets demolished on Twitter

No Alabama fan would let go of this perfect opportunity to shut Barkley up. As soon as the game ended, the Twitter stars decided to call out Chuck. Here are a few reactions:

At the Iron Bowl 2017, Barkley mocked the Alabama Crimson Tide as Auburn won the game. The 76ers legend shared, “A ?few years ago it was the kick six, today it?s gonna be the kick a***”.?Now, he must wait at least another year to use this quote again.

Barkley’s rivalry with Alabama started when he joined Auburn University. The rivalry was witnessed in basketball as well where he played three seasons for the Tigers.

Once Barkley bet against former Alabama veteran Jalen Hurts, on live television. The basketball legend accepted to wear a Crimson Tide jersey on TNT if Auburn lost and Hurts accepted to wear the Tigers jersey to his campus if Alabama lost. Sadly for Hurts, Alabama couldn’t secure the win. As a man of his word, the current Philadelphia Eagles superstar wore an Alabama jersey to his campus. His university’s handle shared a video of it as well.

The last-second fumble today has now led to heartbreak for Charles Barkley. What are your thoughts on the above reactions? Does Barkley deserve this? Share your take in the comments below.
