Former NBA basketball great, Charles Barkley and two of his colleagues walked into an On Tap Sports Bar and Grill located on Highway 31 in Hoover to have a couple of drinks on Sunday, January 15. Shortly after sitting down, according to an eyewitness, someone purposely threw a plastic cup at the six foot six NBA legend. Barkley immediately got up and, without hesitation, initiated a physical altercation with a Caucasian male sitting next to the young man who originally threw the cup.

Hoover police were called shortly after, but reportedly no one was severely injured or arrested and no charges were pressed against Barkley. Deputy Chief A.C. Roper of the Hoover Police Department stated to The Birmingham Times that there were many conflicting stories told by eyewitnesses about how the very brief brawl got started. However, all eyewitnesses do agree that Charles Barkley was taunted which resulted in a confrontation.

Known for his temper on and off the basketball court, Barkley has had numerous bar scuffles across the country but has never been convicted or found liable in civil suits.

What is with people throwing cups at basketball players?
Stupid asses.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

It's like those 2 guys who started trouble with Mike Tyson in an elevator, and got the living hell beat out of them.

Charles Artest. :lol

Now we'll have to wait and see if Round Mound of Sound will request a trade to ESPN Ocho.

But at least he speaks the truth about the Mavericks. I'm sure that has nothing to do with your view on this issue.

defending yourself is proof that you're an idiot??? no wonder you're a Mav fan

[Despot]

Mavs fans sure do hate Barkley now. Get a grip, Barkley rips on all teams from time to time and the fans don't get all upset and want to crucify him like the mavs fans, there must be something more to this. My theory? I think it may be caused by sand in their vaginas.

They repeat whatever their moron owner says. There are very few original thoughts up here when it comes to the Mavericks. Dallas just isn't a basketball town. Cowboys fans can speak critically of the Cowboys because they want the team to win, but Mavs fans are cult members for little frankenstein's party machine.

Mavs hate Barkley as much as the spurs hate Stephen A. Smith. The spurs were once a regular season team as well. See 1995. They finally added some defense and that is what won them their first title. The mavs are doing the same thing now.

[ALVAREZ6]

Charles should have whooped his ass.

[Big Pimp_21]

This is just another reason not to sit next to a guy with who may throw a cup. Its always the guy sitting next him that gets his ass kicked. (see Artest)

The '95 Spurs had three of the best defenders in the league, one first team all-defense, one first team all-defense and MVP. One of them was third in the league in blocks and the other led the league in rebounds. What defense did they add to that again?

[Vashner]

He should of paid someone (bodyguard) to kick his ass..

Like just snap the fingers...

Guess he's not that rich anymore...

[mikejones99]

He should go out with Stephen Jackson next time. If the cops let Barkley beat the shit out of these people this kind of thing will end and even Detroit fans will be careful.
