Kevin Garnett Roasts Charles Barkley for Calling him a "Borderline Hall of Famer"
The yucksters over at TNT's Inside The NBA had a healthy bit of yucking to do last night thanks to Charles Barkley's foolish attempt to poke the bear that is Kevin Garnett. Barkley was discussing how his fellow Hall of Famers, including KG's guest Gary Payton, were going to vote after the most recent candidates for the Hall of Fame were released. The conversation quickly derailed into a roast session.
As Barkley begins—"Gary, you're in the Hall of Fame, Shaq, you're in the Hall of Fame, I'm in the Hall of Fame, Kevin you're a borderline Hall of Famer..."—Kenny Smith gets the ball rolling with a quizzical "borderline?" That frees Garnett up to go for the kill:
"Champion. Champion, it's all good. I'm a champion, too. Go 'head. Uh, Shaq, you're a champion. Gary, you're a champion. Kenny you're a champion—you know Chuck, you're almost a champion. Borderline champion."
