The crew behind the scenes of the show always have the camera running, and this time they captured Barkley licking the lenses of his glasses.
Barkley's co-hosts provided some detailed analysis of the footage during the American Express Halftime Report at halftime of the Phoenix Suns-Dallas Mavericks game. Co-hosts Ernie Johnson thought it was disgusting, while Kenny Smith and Shaquille O'Neal thought it was hilarious. O'Neal joked that the video of Barkley licking the glasses should be used for an NFT.
Barkley didn't see it as a big deal, simply explaining "That's how I clean my glasses."
Even though he has the specialized cleaning cloth for his glasses, Barkley further explained "I have to get them wet first...It's more important for me to be able to see than to worry about hygiene."
