Charles Barkley on Basketball, Politics and Supporting People over Party

This week, Andy sits down with basketball legend, Hall of Famer and TV star Charles Barkley for a conversation that covers a lot of ground – because Charles never sticks to one lane. They talk early league memories, how modern day basketball differs from the old days, and where Charles sees the future of the sport going amidst all the recent controversy. But this wouldn't be a real conversation with Charles Barkley without a little politics. He doesn't hold back on what he thinks Democrats still need to fix, on speaking out in support of immigrants, and on why he refuses to stay quiet just to protect his brand. Basketball, politics, and zero filter. Welcome to the big league, let's get started.
