With ABC broadcasting the NBA Finals, Charles Barkley’s work for TNT is over for the year, opening up his schedule to attend the Stanley Cup Final. The Basketball Hall of Famer was in attendance for Game 4 between the Panthers and Golden Knights on Saturday, and he shared a humorous story about one of the competitors in this year’s NHL championship series.
Barkley said he recently introduced himself to Golden Knights star Jack Eichel, but the NBA analyst is convinced Eichel didn’t recognize him.
“The other day I was at the hotel. I walked up to Jack Eichel and said how great he was. I think he had zero idea who I was,” Barkley said. “He looked at me like, ‘Who the hell are you?’ It was pretty funny.”
