Everyone loves Charles Barkley. He’s funny and charming, even though his actions during his playing career would inspire 1,000 Twitter polls today. Why wouldn’t you like him? Maybe if he heckled you while eating breakfast.

Barkley’s former Sixers teammate Jayson Williams – you know the onerecently told VICE’s “Cookies” podcast about a time Sir Charles showed up to practice, chowed down on a McDonald’s breakfast, and yelled at his own team:

“My second day of practice we’re out there running up and down. Charles Barkley comes in about five minutes late. He comes in and he has a big McDonald’s bag. And he goes and he sits down on the [stationary] bike. And like a chemist. You know a guy over there cutting up lines or something. You know? He’s just making – he’s got his back towards us and he’s doing stuff – I’m like what the hell is he doing? So he takes the eggs, and he takes the pancakes, the sausage, maple syrup and butter, puts it all in one, warps it up with the pancake and gets some extra syrup. And the butter’s oozing out. And I’m going wow, you going to eat that then and come run with us? Hell no. He’s going to eat that while he’s on the stationary bike. Peddling one mile an hour going “You sons of bitches! Run the floor! You lazy bastards! You f—ers! That’s why we ain’t never going to win the game!” And pancake is spitting out his mouth.”

That team actually won 44 games and lost in the East Conference Semi-Finals that year. Neither of the two players were with the Sixers for much longer. Barkley’s eating eventually caught up to him, but Williams has since spent time in jail for the “accidental” shooting death of his limo driver and a DWI. One of those two is preferable. He had a really sweet episode of MTV Cribs though, in the home where he later shot that limo driver.
