NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley said he's going to run for governor in Alabama.Now, wary as I am about announcements to run for something in six years, I can wholeheartedly get behind this. As he said, how's he gonna make Alabama worse? Set it on fire? Garrote Nick Saban? Plus if the debates are basketball themed, say make a shot get to state a position, he's got it in the bag. The GOP can't put up someone that can out muscle The Round Mound of Rebound in the paint, unless they run Shaq, Chamberlain, or Walt Bellamy. Plus he's the only guy that ever threw a man through a plate glass window and stayed beloved. By 2014, Alabama's racial attitudes will have advanced to those of late seventies America, so he'll have a shot there too.
"I plan on it in 2014," Barkley told CNN's Campbell Brown on Monday.
When asked if he was serious, the former Philadelphia 76er said, "I am, I can't screw up Alabama."
He added that his native state could only improve. "We are number 48 in everything and Arkansas and Mississippi aren't going anywhere," Barkley said.
I think he has a shot at winning, provided Olajuwon and Drexler are on his staff and Jordan stays retired.
