Charles Barkley does not believe that the animator of ESPN, Stephen A. Smith, shot in the fact of becoming president.
Barkley, 62, answered categorically when he asked him about Smith’s chances of sitting in the oval office.
“Hell no! Come on, stop it.” Barkley declared during a recent appearance on “Do’t @ Me with Dan Dakich d’Outkick”.

“Hey, hey, dan, throw it now. Stop it. Go guy, don’t do that.”
Barkley said Smith is one of his friends and implored it to “stop” entertaining the possibility of running for the presidency.
The temple of basketball renown thinks that Smith is too much on television and that people could become “sick” from him.
“I was in the studio last night and I saw that he was going to be on” Law & Order “tonight. I mean he is already at” General Hospital “, he is already at” General Hospital “, now he will be on” Law & Order “tonight, and I laughed.

“Like, you are going to be on CNN, you are going to be on” Fox & Friends “, now you on” General Hospital “, now you on” Law & Order “, I am like”, you, launch. But once you do too much, it is too late and people do not take you seriously, and I think it must pay attention to this aspect. “
Barkley said he wanted to be on television less and less, because “less that’s more”.
“My friends close to me give me a lot of credit, and I do not breathe my own horn, I want to be on television as much as possible, to be honest with you dan. This is why I do only a few advertisements per year. I am not going to a lot of shows, the less it is, I do not feel not to grasp all the people.

“I argue with my agent, he said that we could make five advertisements per year, I said that we are going to make two advertisements per year, that’s all. I don’t want to be on television all the time. The more, I want to be less on television.”
Smith posted to X in April that he “leaves all the doors open” concerning the possibility of presenting himself to the presidency, but declared that he “hates the idea of being a politician”.
Whether Smith decides to go to the presidency or not, it is clear that Barkley does not think that the ESPN host has a chance.
