Charles Barkley Reveals Why He Isn’t Featured In Any NBA 2K Games: “They Piss Me Off Every Year!”

Just like in previous versions of the game, Charles Barkley also isn’t featured in NBA 2K20. 

In an interview with ‘Nick’s Trick Shots’, Chuck was asked for the reason of his absence in the most popular basketball video game. It turns out that the Chuckster isn’t a fan of 2K Sports’ distribution of profits.

While he isn’t asking for anything that would benefit himself, Barkley has been trying to get 2k to set up some kind of retirement fund for NBA players.

“I’m asked that question a lot. So, they pay those guys to do it and they make 300 million dollars and they pay the guys chump change. And I’m like nah, I’m not doing that. I said this is what I’ll do, because giving me some money doesn’t help anybody. I said give the old retired players a million dollars and I’ll be in the video game. They’re like, well, we’re gonna pay you the same thing we pay others, and I said I’m not like the others. They piss me off every year. They call me every year and say ‘hey, have you changed your mind?’ Why in the world would you think I’m gonna change my mind?”
