Charles Barkley has caused a stir after unleashing his thoughts on fraternities.

On Thursday night’s “Inside the NBA,” following TNT’s coverage of Game 2 between the Timberwolves and Warriors, Barkley didn’t hold back.
“I don’t want to be in no fraternity,” he declared. “A bunch of damn loser dudes getting together all the time.”
Kenny Smith defended fraternities, citing their community work. Barkley dismissed it instantly: “Knock it off. If they were that good, you’d join.” When Smith said he didn’t have time back in college, Barkley fired, “You were busy. Yeah, only losers join fraternities.”
Shaquille O’Neal and Smith then mentioned Michael Jordan’s affiliation with a fraternity, hoping to sway Barkley.
“Michael ain’t wasting his time with no fraternity,” he said. “He might be, but he ain’t doing nothing with them bums.”
The moment turned comedic when Smith joked that Barkley didn’t have the GPA to pledge. Barkley clapped back: “I did. I averaged 20 points and 20 rebounds. That’s my grade point average.”
