Looks like the Alabama public shool system and Auburn University did a great job teaching Chuck Geography.

[Mikeanaro]

:lmao
Barkley knows

[Gagnrath]

On an unlabled map I will honestly admit that I will generally get the general vicinity and continent but will be off on a lot of the individual countries especially in central Asia and Africa.

[wildcardX]

Barkley needs to go on SNL's Celebrity Jeopardy as himself.

Don't blame Auburn...guy played ball for them but didn't get anywhere near a degree.

:depressed

[thiste]

I've only ever seen Americans be so wrong at Geography. Not pointing fingers, just an observation...

[BillMc]

:depressed

Sorry man. :depressed

[BillMc]

I like how he initially places the Congo in Sweden. But, its understandable, the countries are so similar. Easy to confuse.

I don´t get why that is funny, what is funny for me is that ignorant people are examples for your society.

I am from argentina, and i went to a middle of the pack school and i could set all of those countries, or at least be right with the continents.

It is funny in the sense it is so embarrassing. Barkley went to college, went to the Olympics, interacted with people from around the globe, but clearly has learned very little about the world. To place Argentina in Asia is just sad.

It is disgraceful, to Argentina, and the rest of the Baltic countries, I apologize for Barkley on behalf of the rest of us Americans.

Ha ha, good one. :lol I'm sure it has something to do with Riga time...

Because when you live in the supposedly best country in the world you dont need to know about other countries, its a cultural thing they dont like to watch foreign subbed movies they always say SPEAK ENGLISH is the most used language (thats Chinese).
I watched a documental like 5 years ago and lots of North Americans think Argentina is some part of Brazil, of course there are lots of smart tourists here who knows the maps outside USA but that shows how lazy is most of the North American population.

I think he knows very well where Argentina is but he is just playing his character and to me is so funny always looking like a dumb brute fatty.

Ahh, the gorgeous capital city of Argentina. Don't forget to roll the Spanish Rrrriga!

[TXstbobcat]

I wonder if if he actually attended a class in his three years at Auburn.

[Canyonero]

Sorry man. :depressed

Nah it's fine. I bet 80% of Americans don't know where Argentina is in a map, we're kinda irrelevant to the world tbh.

[BillMc]

We Americans are terrible with geography (though Charles is a worst case example). I live in Latvia, and my own father, a well-educated Air Force grad, asks me "How's Russia?" every time I talk to him.:depressed

[pgardn]

Holy fuck...

I guess I like maps and Charles does not.

Chuck didn't even know where Jamaica is located and didn't know that it is an Island.

Maybe living in San Antonio for most of my life has made it fun to travel outside of Texas and the US. Even business.

Maybe if one lived in LA or NYC...maybe one thinks that's all there is.
Other than that, I don't get it. The people I hang around know where these places are. It's astounding...

Nahhh. I don't get it.

That is a poor example of America. I would have got them all except for possibly Georgia but would have still been close on it.

[EVAY]

Pretty much doubt it. It's an engineering school. He certainly doesn't sound as though he ever went to an English class.

Still closer than Barkley tho

[spurs10]

He is a jock who wanted to and did make millions playing basketball. He obviously knew nothing about geography, back then, which is never taught much in public schools in the U.S. I'd say I could probably be stumped about certain Middle Eastern countries with bizarre names pretty easily.

I didn't know where Riga was until I read a book by the Swedish writer Henning Mankell. So it's all relative...I reckon. I bet he was really embarrassed and would do much better now.

[SpurPadre]

Well, he'd still beat George W. Bush, Palin, and Trump at this game, tbh. Still sad, though, even if it's staged.

[Uriel]

Charles Barkley is a jock. His skill lies in basketball, not academics.

We may be 10x smarter than Barkley, but he's 100x better than us at basketball. He's still a far more successful human being (if you define success by socio-economic standing) than all of us here in SpursTalk will likely ever be.

That was academics we were watching?

Just knowing where a frggn country is? That's middle school memorization.

[Sybok]

They don't say shit "he's close, he had the right idea". You say that to a 5 year old, not a 50 year old.

[nowitzkikopf]

damn- how old is this video?

[spurs10]

damn- how old is this video? Old

[Spurtacular]

For a guy who has had to travel as much as he does and who at least broaches geo-politics, this is turrible.

[nadie]

How can he miss it? Argentina is in South America which is below North America.

That's Colombia, right ? Right next to Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador, and the land of Mr. Pineapple face who was invaded by you know who, if i am not mistaken.

[hater]

Manu a Filipino nurse :lmao

[hater]

US Imperialist school system does this on purpose. You can't be mad if you don't know who the fuck we bombing :lol

Yes, that's Colombia

I lived in Switzerland for a few years and will be moving back at some point. Over Christmas my dad, a very well read man, asked me "So when are you moving back to Sweden"? smh

[MB20]

Funny. Non issue

[bic50]

:lol its Charles Barkley so it's no surprise.

[bic50]

and Kawhi is the best BBall player in da world :(

thankfully he's not as clueless about basketball as he is geography.

[maverick1948]

So glad Charles went to Auburn otherwise he would have never made the NBA. Any where else and he would have been shoveling coal in Birmingham.

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

Charles should hook up with this chick.
