Auburn junior Charles Barkley (34) attracts the attention of Kentucky teammates
It is not easy for Alabama Crimson Tide fans to genuinely like a current or former Auburn Tiger. For many Crimson Tide fans, Charles Barkley is an exception. The former ‘Round Mound of Rebound’ is now known affectionately by many as Sir Charles.
Barkley has always been somewhat of a misfit. As both a collegian and an NBA professional, Barkley played power forward at just a shade over 6-foot-4. Older Alabama Crimson Tide fans have pretty much forgiven Charles for the dominance he had over the Crimson Tide’s 6-foot-9, Bobby Lee Hurt.
