NBA legend Charles Barkley just revealed himself as the biggest boomer in the basketball universe with his latest admission. The Phoenix Suns icon has been quite the character in his time as an NBA analyst for TNT but it seems as though all the limelight still hasn't convinced him to adapt to the digital world.
In a recent episode of his podcast called The Steam Room with long-time co-anchor Ernie Johnson, Chuckster made a wild admission that he actually has not written an email yet in his 58 years of existence.
“I've never sent an email,” Barkley said. “I know how to respond but I don't know how to initiate one. I can respond, I will admit that,”
The former league MVP even went on to admit that he's only used an emoji once in his life and it was the same instance that Ernie taught him how to use one. I didn't realize Charles Barkley was an 85-year-old grandpa.
Barkley went on to explain that he prefers talking about people the ‘old fashioned way' which is simply behind their backs. No paper trails, as he puts it, as he tries to further rationalize the fact that he has no clue how to compose a simple electronic message.
With this new revelation, Barkley continues to be one of the most colorful characters in today's NBA. Aside from his on-cam antics with Johnson and fellow co-hosts Shaquille O'Neal and Kenny Smith, it appears that there's definitely more than meets the eye when it comes to Sir Charles.
