[For a long period after retirement, Charles Barkley's weight was a topic of conversation.
In Portland, he embarked on an epic weight loss journey to grasp his last chance at a championship ring and succeeded.
But once he got the coveted championship ring, his weight ballooned like a balloon, even after becoming a commentator at Turner Television.
Charles wasn't ashamed of this; he even agreed to participate in a reality show about obesity, weighing himself in front of everyone.
Charles said he hoped to return to his playing weight of around 265 pounds, which was his ideal state.
When the scale showed 337.5 pounds, Barkley himself was quite shocked and had a bit of a meltdown.
This was 20 pounds more than he had anticipated.
His weight almost equaled the combined weight of Albert and Flattero (hosts at Turner Television).
