Barkley called in, and they talked for a bit. I just caught part of it. He said that the doctors were on pins and needles, cuz his knee was only 70%. He haad mobility, but no explosiveness in his jump. He begged Othella not to hurt him, cuz he doesnt want to have to rehab all summer. He still has two months of rehab and hes gonna do it in Houston. He also said that when he loses 17 lbs over the summer hes gonna look really sexy. Patrick also played a past interview with Barkley's wife, and she said somethin like this - "Oh yeah, its a great joy having him around. I came into the bedroom the other nite around 3 and hes naked watching ESPN highlites with a bag of Doritos in one hand and the remote in the other. Beer all over the place ... His gut was so big it was touching his knees ... He looked like a big pile of brown mashed potatoes. Barkley just acted all PC and steered away from commenting much on her comments, but he was clearly embarrassed. It was funny. ------------------ I'm not a role model.
hilarious... OK...who else in here has sat naked on the bed or couch eating munches vegging on TV with beer all over the place when you had the run of the house on a girls night-out!! And then imagine if you'd do it if you could turn on ESPN Highlights of past footage of yourself flying through the air at age 22, still with hair. This is why we love this man. I couldn't see Drexler or Pippen doing that. How about Michael. [This message has been edited by heypartner (edited April 20, 2000).]
