Dude, him dropping “I have to go to Dallas for games 3 and 4 and then take the next few months off” was so dang funny. Dagger to the heart man. – SpezGarblesMyGooch
Unconventional Lineup
Mark Messier looks photoshopped into the picture, adding an element of doubt to the authenticity of the image – griffs19
Height Matters
Charles makes everything better but they need him here. Subban and Messier have zero chemistry – funnyredditname
I was in Chicago airport a few weeks back and a college team was coming through. If they’d been hockey players, they’d just blend in. But it’s tough to hide if you’re with 10 other guys and you’re all over 7 feet. – dogsledonice
Testing his new, potential home at ESPN for when his TNT career is forcibly gone. – Overall_Nuggie_876
This actually makes me respect Barkley as a player more. It puts his height disadvantage in the NBA into perspective. To be one of the most ruthless glass cleaners in the league and not be a genetic height freak is just pure effort. – ChuckEJesus
Everyone needs to move over left lol this panel looks so weird – Jasbuddy
One of these guys was undersized for their position. – Allstate85
Mark Messier was listed at 4″ shorter than Barkley. I’m not so sure about that mark – RelevantJackWhite
