Charles Barkley Fires Back After Scottie Pippen Calls Him 'Fake Tough Guy'

Talking with Tyler Tynes, Pippen labeled Barkley as a 'fake tough guy' since he only fought players when referees were around.

Interesting you mentioned Charles Barkley, because he once said that he would «get arrested for murder» if you didn't apologize to him for calling him «fat» after your breakup with the Rockets.

I wish he woulda went through with it. I never apologized to him, but I'll tell you what: He only got arrested for throwing some little white guys out of a window. I ain't never seen him fight a Black man unless there were referees around. He plays his role like he's tough. I don't know nobody he done whooped. Go back and check his record. Did I apologize to him? I told him to get me the hell out of there. That's what I recall.
Barkley finally had the chance to reply to these comments, making a big claim too. The 1993 NBA MVP stated that he's tougher than Scottie Pippen, although he's not trying to be a bully every day.

«I don't walk around saying I'm Billy Badass, but I can promise you one thing I'm tougher than Scottie Pippen. Let me put that to rest right now.»
