Thats alot of cheesesteaks. Man, I knew the Barkley gambling thing was pretty bad but, that’s almost half a million dollars and if he doesn’t pay up he’ll prob have to throw another $100,000 at a lawyer.

Ah, to live in a world where you could “forget” you lost nearly half a million. I’m apoplectic is I lose on a scratch off.

He did admit that he’s a “dumbass”. I guess this is just further proof. I still love the Chuckster though.

Whales (big spenders) get interest-free credit lines (markers) from casino’s. It’s like having a running account at a dept store or a bar tab. Charles has the cash, he’d made over $100mil back in the 90’s, plus the interest/returns on it & Nike/T-Mobile/TNT $.

Charles Barkley made over $100 million in the ’90s? News to me. According to good ol’ Basketball Reference, he made $44 million (rounding up) in salary over his entire NBA career. I understand that doesn’t include endorsements, but it DOES include the ’80s. Somehow I doubt he made $60 million in endorsements alone in the ’90s.

Does the Chuckster have a problem? I fully expect to hear about him being found on the side of the road rolled up in a carpet one day.
