Basketball Hall of Famer and current NBA analyst Charles Barkley is no stranger to speaking his mind.
Now the basketball legend says he has a real shot of running for president…with a running mate that will blow your mind.
During a recent episode of The Steam Room podcast that Inside the NBA hosts Charles Barkley and Ernie Johnson broadcast, Barkley believes that he and billionaire Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban would be a formidable Presidential ticket.
Barkley doubled down on his assertion, saying he and Cuban would “definitely” win a Presidential election if they were to run together.
Cuban, who was a guest on the show, was asked whether or not he would be interested in running for President on the same ticket as Barkley.
Cuban confidently said that the pair would easily in, which is an assessment that Barkley agreed with.
“Yes, absolutely,” Cuban said. “We would win running away. No question about it.”
“We’d win. We’d definitely win,” Barkley added, echoing Cuban’s confidence.
Cuban was a vocal supporter of Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2024 Presidential Election. Barkley also publicly endorsed Harris.
Both he and Cuban have been vocal critics of President-elect Donald Trump for many years.
“If I see a Black person walking around with a Trump mug shot, I’m gonna punch him in the face,” Barkley famously said of the 2024 Presidential election earlier this year.
