Charles Barkley wanted to ‘punch’ kids looking for autographs during trick or treating

Despite his tough-talking personality, Charles Barkley has shown a softer side , particularly when it comes to the people he cares about. However, that doesn’t mean he’s always patient with young fans on Halloween. During a recent appearance on NBA Tip-Off , the Basketball Hall of Famer shared a hilarious story about children showing up at his house on Halloween with more than candy on their minds. Instead of simply enjoying the treats, some youngsters arrived carrying basketball cards, hoping to get Barkley’s signature.
