NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
NBAObsessed is going on record for being in favor of Charles Barkley getting a job as an NBA General Manager. Charles has spoken and he wants the job. He is ready to grow, he says.
Ok, ok, stop laughing now, Charles meant he is ready to grow as a person and was never referring to his waistline and you have to believe he means it, because in the world of Charles Barkley the truth is always what you say no matter who you offend or how dumb you sound. That is one of my favorite things about the Round Mound of Rebound.
The Chuckster is tiring of criticizing teams and wants the responsibility to build a winner with his own hands.
“It’s time for me to be a general manager,’’ said Barkley, who has been at TNT for eight years. “I think everybody around me knows it’s time for me to take a different challenge.
“I always want to keep going as a person. I love my job. I love the people I work with. But now it’s time for me to take on another challenge as a man. I need to grow as a person and it’s time for me.
“And certainly I can do a better job than some of these guys have been doing.’’
Introducing the future GM Charles Barkley
Think of how much better the interviews with the GM would be if Charles was in Charge!
Hey Charles, what did you think of your team tonight?
“They stunk up the joint. They have no idea how to play basketball. We’ll be lucky to ever win a game again. It was stupid for me to even pick up some of these guys and, you know what, it is time to just get rid of them.”
Charles, are you sure, some of them have guaranteed contracts?
“Guaranteed contracts, who cares about guaranteed contracts? It is not my money we are spending here. It belongs to that old rich guy that owns the team.”
Charles, you don’t seem so upset about losing, why not?
“This team is so easy to bet against it ain’t even funny. They just keep losing and my winnings just keep piling up!”
Wait, you are right, no one could be that honest, not even Barkley.
