Charles Barkley has revealed a message from his doctor that proved to be the catalyst for his weight loss journey.
But during an appearance on Turner Sports ahead of game four of the Stanley Cup Final, the basketball pundit disclosed the profound words that helped him knuckle down on his journey. "My doctor told me I was fat. So I'm down 60 pounds," Barkley said.
"She said to me, 'There's no fat old people, only fat young people.’ And she said, ‘If you don't get this stuff together you're not gonna be around.’" Last month the NBA legend, who previously weighed 352 pounds, appeared on the Pat McAfee Show and revealed he had shed 62 pounds (4.42 stone) and now stands at 290.
