NBA’s Charles Barkley throws in for Kasich

Former NBA star Charles Barkley mocked the superstar lifestyle in an ad for T-Mobile. Many commercials that appeared during Super Bowl XLII took a satiric tack, spoofing movies, television shows, video clips, celebrity misbehavior and more. A typical though entertaining cast of characters -- animals, babies, pop stars -- all made their appearances, lending a lighthearted spirit to the annual festivities.

Former NBA star Charles Barkley mocked the superstar lifestyle in an ad for T-Mobile.

Basketball legend Charles Barkley said if he had to pick a president today, he’d vote for Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

“Right now, I like John Kasich, the governor of Ohio,” Barkley said today on ESPN Radio’s “Mike & Mike,” The Hill reported. “He’s the only person that I’m really paying attention to right now, to be honest with you.”

Barkley said he hasn’t made a decision, and that he prefers to vote Democratic.

The Hill reported that Barkley told Sports Illustrated earlier this year that he also liked former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
