VIDEO: Charles Barkley Trolls Kenny Smith About Bill Clinton Probably Not Knowing Who He Is
Former President Bill Clinton showed up at Thursday night's game between the Brooklyn Nets and the Los Angeles Lakers at the Barclays Center. He was seen speaking with LeBron James following the game, and the guys at TNT's "Inside the NBA" had some fun with the chance encounter. Charles Barkley had the most fun, however, when he used the meeting of the minds to roast Kenny Smith.

Barkley may not be wrong in that Clinton may not recognize Kenny the Jet.
Saying he would confuse him for a hot dog vendor, however, is a vintage Barkley comment that belongs under glass in a museum.

To be fair, Barkley was spurred to make the comment after Smith ensured that Clinton would recognize him. Smith is also only 6-foot-3, so he doesn't have the size of Barkley or Shaq on his side when it comes to being recognized in a crowd as a basketball player.
Another day, another glorious moment of an "Inside the NBA" co-host dunking on another.
