To Charles Barclay "Auburn Education" Under fire as ex-ESPN host trains him for hilarious accident – EssentiallySports

Charles Barkley’s words carry considerable value in the world of sports media, but he just had a moment of embarrassment over one. yes Inside the NBA is back and so is the teasing. And it seems he had one of those moments where he used a made-up word during one of the episodes. THE ATLANTIC writer Jemele Hill was quick enough to point it out on a humorous note.

“Who’s going to tell Chuck that ‘lighter’ isn’t a word.” This Auburn education strikes again 😂😂😂,” she wrote to X. But now the question arises, is it really a made up word? Well, not according to some of the online dictionaries. Wiktionary defines the word as “comparative form of slightly”.

Meanwhile, the Cambridge Dictionary and Thesaurus mention the word as an adjective. However, this does not necessarily prove the grammatical authenticity of the word. Because many made-up words are now included in online dictionaries to provide an understanding of their usage.

Also, it’s not as if Charles Barkley never messed up while speaking English. In fact, according to user X in the Hill post, “Chuck’s pedestrian grasp of the English language is what makes him a folk.” You can easily find a compilation of one on YouTube.

“It’s very simple. The agony of victory, the great thing of victory, or the agony of defeat. And losing just sucks. But winning is the greatest thing. You talk to every great player or coach. The victory you fear to lose” — just another example of do what you can do in Charles Barclay’s English. However, this in no way means that the former Philadelphia 76ers star is not effective in his words. When he speaks, the sports community listens.

Charles Barkley’s blunt statement about the Golden State Warriors

Chuck didn’t hold back his thoughts on the future of the Golden State Warriors this season. And if you’re a Warriors fan, brace yourself – his opinion isn’t exactly optimistic. Despite the Warriors’ promising 3-1 start to the 2024-25 season, Barkley tuned into NBA on TNT to clarify his position.

“They are a playable team at best. The window is closed… They had a great run. It’s all over and they had a great start… That window is closed.” he said. It’s easy to see where Barkley’s doubt comes from. The Warriors have won 4 NBA championships since 2015, but have also missed the playoffs in three of the last five years.

Last season, they climbed to the tenth seed with a 46-36 record, but were unable to overcome the Sacramento Kings in the game. It’s been a bumpy ride to say the least. However, Tuesday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans showed a glimmer of their old spark. Even without their 2x MVP, Stephen Curry, the team pulled off a 124-106 victory. But for now, Charles Barkley has given his verdict – in what he thinks are the best words.
