Funny NBA off-court discussions have centered around Charles Barkley. When going for work, the 61-year-old appeared to be toting a suitcase the size of a kid. Reggie Miller saw this and grabbed Chuck’s leg outright, setting up another unforgettable moment between the two of them.
The incident involved Barkley’s extremely large suitcase, which was featured in Miller’s most recent Instagram story. The 58-year-old uploaded a video of Chuck checking in with his kid-sized bag and said,
“I am sorry, Charles Barkley, no way in hell any of your suits fitting kids size carry on”.
The 1993 MVP took a positive stance towards this covert jab at Chuck’s physique. To show that he agreed with the comments, he reposted Miller’s tale from his Instagram account along with laughing emojis.

Reggie Miller fat shames Charles Barkley
Reggie Miller is obviously making fun of Charles Barkley’s weight and the fact that his outfits have to be extremely big in order to fit him. The NBA icon is beyond used to it at this time, despite some people wondering if he will take offense.
Shaquille O’Neal, the latter’s TNT coworker, has made fun of him for just this reason on multiple occasions in the past. They even had a back-and-forth on the same subject last month, during which Shaq declared, “I’m lighter than you.”

Miller’s remarks thus served to emphasize the intimacy among coworkers and to further the running joke among the TNT group. Chuck appears to have accepted his lot in life at this point, even beginning to giggle at the jokes.
Seeing how close-knit the TNT ensemble is, especially Charles Barkley and Reggie Miller, and how much they enjoy each other’s banter is quite sweet. If they had formed a team while they were players, maybe much more of this would have occurred.
