It’s nothing new that Charles Barkley would say something hilarious but his latest quote might be one of his best.
With his daughter, Christian Barkley, marrying Ilya Hoffman, who is Jewish, the Round Mound of Rebound was obviously worried about one of the traditions of a Jewish wedding: the hora.
For those who don’t know, that is a traditional dance where the parents are lifted up in chairs by other guests at the wedding and paraded around the dance floor.
“I’ve been really working out hard because apparently they’ve got to pick me up in a chair,” Barkley told Kimmel on March 4. “Listen, I need all Jewish people on deck, brother. Cause I can only get so skinny by Saturday, man.”
According to The Jerusalem Post, the hora went well and Barkley, along with his mother-in-law, enjoyed themselves during the dance.
Mazel Tov, Charles!
