If you’re old enough to remember Charles Barkley as an NBA player, you’ll know that he didn’t take any nonsense from anybody. As Shaq can attest, he wasn’t afraid to mix it up no matter how big the opposition was. He wasn’t necessarily your prototypical enforcer, but he certainly intimidated guys.
But something changed when he retired and became even more popular from his analysis on TNT. He has morphed into this charismatic, likeable figure known to make people either laugh or cringe. But he certainly isn’t intimidating anymore. Proof of that is the fact that he’s a pitchman for Weight Watchers. You never wouldn’t associated Chuck with such a product in the past. Not just because he wasn’t overweight, but because it didn’t seem like him. You know what else didn’t seem like him: wearing a dress for said product. I don’t know how much they’re paying him, but judging by this video it has to be a whole lot.
