The legendary NBA star and Hall of Famer Charles Barkley is very educated. He is an Auburn University graduate and one of the game's powerful power forwards. Controversial yes, but outspoken, he should have ran as an Independent or a centrist Democrat or something in Alabama.
He thought of running for Alabama governor in 2010 or 2014, but never followed up with it. I wonder why? The money that he gets as a TNT commentator, maybe?
