Summary
92%ers we are back with another episode of New Heights presented by our friends at Fireball.
In this episode, we are joined by an absolute sports legend. NBA Hall of Famer, Emmy Winner, Olympics Gold medalist, the round mound of rebound…Charles Barkley!
Before we get to Charles, Travis has to address some rumors that we might have started on this show, we recap the Chiefs' visit to the White House and what Travis was going to say at the podium, and we give you guys an update on the Ocean Drive Beer Bowl.
In our great conversation with Sir Charles Barkley, we find out why Charles decided football was NOT for him, what it was like living next door to Mike Tyson, how he knew it was time to retire, what it takes to play in Philly and who he's picking in the NBA finals.
We also get the incredible story about playing against a young Dirk Nowitzki, his welcome to the NBA moment, why Kobe wasn't a fit for Inside the NBA, the truth about the rumor Michael Jordan used golf to beat him in the '93 finals, and the one thing he stole from his time with The Dream Team.
As always, watch and listen to new episodes of New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce every Wednesday & check us out on Instagram, Twitter, and Tik Tok for all the best moments from the show.
