Charles Barkley goes animated for untold Auburn stories, and it’s not ‘turrible’

Auburn will always love Charles Barkley, and now there’s something new to love about the former Tiger great who’s joined the ranks of stars doing animated work.

Animated Sir Charles? Yes, that’s right.

Thanks to a partnership with the team at HEARTLENT Group and the NBRPA, Charles Barkley is the first in a series of animated shorts featuring untold stories from legends of the NBA. In the video, the former Auburn basketball star tells a story about stealing pizzas with Bo Jackson and shows off his winning sense of humor.

Auburn fans will love all the easter eggs within the video, including some Bo Jackson Tecmo Bowl footage (there was nobody like Tecmo-Bo!), a little nod to Inside the NBA analyst and Chuck’s broadcast partner, Kenny Smith, and even some graded school work (guess who’s is “turrible”).

Sir Charles and Bo are two Auburn fan favorites, and it’s hard not to love this and to think about how much fun it was watching them play. It’s no surprise that some hijinks happened during their time at Auburn.

From HEARTLENT Group:

"“The custom animation series is part of a new partnership between the National Basketball Retired Players Association (NBRPA) and social-first sports marketing collective HEARTLENT Group. HEARTLENT is leading a brand refresh for the organization, which also included the creation of a new NBRPA logo.”"
