Finger: He knows there are certain principles worth standing up for. And it’s never been hard to see the good in him, as a viral video from an event at Lake Tahoe proved this month.
STATELINE, NV - JULY 09: Sports analyst Charles Barkley talks to the Tahoe Douglas Fire Department about their efforts before teeing off Round Two of the 2022 American Century Championship at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course on July 9, 2022 in Stateline, Nevada. I’m rooting for him to come to his senses, or to reveal this all was a big joke, because he makes me laugh, and I’m not ready to lose the guy yet. Basketball needs him. My TV needs him.
One reason I’m rooting for Barkley is that he has a knack for finding a salient point even when he’s wrong, whether it’s about basketball analytics or about capitalism. He’s absolutely right when he suggests that the NBA and the NFL and Major League Baseball all have profited in at least some small way from injustice or human misery, as have most of us who live in the world.
It was significant for LIV Golf to get Mickelson, who signed up even after acknowledging to author Alan Shipnuck that the Saudis are “scary mother to get involved with.” It was significant when they added players such as Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka, who opted for Saudi riches even after it was clear they’d have to give up their PGA Tour membership to do so.
See, another reason I’m rooting for Barkley to get this right is that I’ve always believed - in part due to countless stories from those who’ve long known him - that he’s as genuine as a celebrity can be.
