Charles Barkley is many things but one thing he is not is a supporter of the man bun. You’d expect an old-schooler like Barkley to have zero tolerance for anything that didn’t involve playing really hard, fighting, and making sure to mention that things in his day were 100 times better and more fair than they are today. Listening to every single segment of Inside the NBA there’s no chance that Barkley, Kenny Smith, Shaq or Ernie have any support for the man bun.
Turns out that Barkley got a chance to do away with one man bun right on his own set, and for a paltry $1,000.
According to Uproxx
On Monday night in the TNT studio, he got to take out some of his frustration towards one of those three things when he paid a TNT staffer $1,000 in cash (by way of Kenny Smith making it rain) to step into Chuck’s barber shop (a chair in the studio) so Barkley could lop off his man bun.
The Chuckster isn’t the most gentle of barbers, as he cut through poor Andy’s hair while tugging on it with some less than great scissors, but eventually the man bun fell to the floor and Andy collected his money as Kenny Smith let it fall over his newly cut hair.
