Charles Barkley has some unique takes on how men should look and behave. During tonight’s Inside the NBA show held before the 73rd NBA All-Star game, Barkley and the crew were about to get some gifts courtesy of Emirates. That is when Barkley went on a wild rant about something men should not be wearing.
Charles Barkley and the crew were receiving gifts in duffle bags from the Emirates air hostesses. When Kenny Smith was about to open a duffle bag, Barkley started his rant by saying;
A man cannot have a neck pillow….. Every time I see a man with a neck pillow I really wanna punch him in the face!

Barkley alluded that it is a rule he enforces. Barkley said that a man cannot be a man and have a neck pillow. He confirmed to Ernie Johnson that it is a new rule and he sticks by his rules. This entire rant had Shaquille O’Neal laughing his heart out.
Charles Barkley reconfirmed his status on neck pillows. He mentioned that his blood boils when he sees men with neck pillows at the airport. Although neck pillows are known to reduce neck and head fatigue over long durations, Barkley isn’t a fan of them. He prefers that men stay away from such things.
The fact that he wants to punch men who use neck pillows is wild. After all, they were invented to serve a purpose. A purpose, Barkley feels should be disregarded just because it is not a manly thing to do. Barkley’s beliefs about how men should behave might be old school, but the neck pillow thing seems far-fetched.
How a man should behave by Charles Barkley?
NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley is a man’s man. At least that’s how he wants to portray himself. He even speaks that language whenever he gets the opportunity. He once mentioned a controversial pregnancy joke which was later confronted by his daughter on Inside the NBA. Even though he apologized to his daughter, he did not take the comment back.

Barkley said a man bun is not a thing and a man should not be sporting it. It seems Barkley has certain rules as to how men should look and behave. He preferred to not reply to a controversial comment made by streamer Sneako.
Although Charles Barkley has sobered down from his controversial past, he still wants to keep things manly. If a wild rant during the NBA All-Star weekend is the way to enforce it, it is good entertainment for fans.
