NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley said he's going to run for governor in Alabama.
"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 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.
He said that his top priority as governor would be education. "The public school system in this country is the worst it has ever been and what that does is that hurts crime, it hurts the judicial system," he said. "You know if you don't give people education and hope, they become criminals. They get involved in drugs. So we have got to fix the public school system."
Barkley probably should finish his degree at Auburn and stop the obsessive gambling before his run for governor in 6 years.
There is no way of knowing if Barkley can win the thing or not but he'll at least provide great sound bites.

He would be a welcome relief from the narrow-mindedness and ugliness we are going through right now, and have been going through for too long.
More people in politics need to have more involvement in the real world. His being in the public eye as well as several other politicians I believe it has helped them and will help the other that he would govern.
Are you suggesting that our politicians should have jobs, outside of politics or law, before we elect them?
That is just crazy talk MOM...
I wish there was a smiley for dripping sarcasm.
What else would you expect, from the Mind of a MadMan...
