Charles Barkley Shows Us His Kobe Finger [Video]

During a recent TNT pre-game show, Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith and Sir Charles were engaging in typical mindless banter about Kobe’s f**ked up index finger.

Charles was playing down the severity of Kobe’s crooked finger by saying that all NBA players have messed up fingers.  Kenny Smith begged to differ, but not so authoritatively.  Ernie asked for proof by saying “Show us your Kobe finger.”

I’m sorry Ernie, but you threw that one right down the middle, about 80 MPH.  You had to see it coming from a mile away.

Even better, Ernie did his best to clean up the mess.  He gave Barkley an easy out, practically begging Charles to say it was an April Fool’s prank.  Charles didn’t apologize as Kenny and Ernie proceeded to bathe in awkwardness for a solid 5 seconds.
