Charles Barkley butchers Kyle Kuzma’s name as ‘Karl’

Originally posted on Larry Brown Sports  |  By Larry Brown  |  Last updated 8/18/20

Charles Barkley was on another level with his pregame commentary before Game 1 of the Los Angeles Lakers-Portland Trail Blazers playoff series on Tuesday, and we don’t necessarily mean that in a good way.

Barkley butchered two Lakers players names. He called Kyle Kuzma “Karl,” and then hilariously downplayed it.

As if that weren’t enough, Barkley also called Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (aka “KCP”) “CP3,” which is actually Chris Paul’s nickname.

Between these name mix-ups and Barkley saying Portland will win the series, there is a good reason to question his sanity.
