Charles Barkley is one of the most iconic figures in NBA history.
The Hall of Famer is well known for his legendary NBA career and, more recently, his role as an NBA analyst.
By working with TNT on Inside the NBA, fans around the world have gotten to know The Round Mound of Rebound inside out.
Including some of his likes and dislikes. Like his love for donuts.
In particular, Krispy Kreme Donuts.
He’s such a fan that Shaquille O’Neal and the rest of the Inside the NBA team once decided to give him 53 dozen original glazed donuts for his 53rd birthday.

It’s not every day you turn 53. It is a memorable birthday that you can never forget, especially if you are Sir Charles Barkley.
In 2016 Chuckster celebrated his 53rd birthday. A big milestone for him. One that got even bigger when Shaquille O’Neal, Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith and the rest of the Inside the NBA team gave him 53 dozen Krispy Kreme donuts to celebrate the day.
A gift that left Sir Charles stunned and wondering what they would do with all that original icing.

A great joke from the crew. A delicious one that was also quite expensive, to say the least. Though, given the crew’s new contracts, it’s doubtful their wallets felt it.
Barkley and the Inside the NBA team recently signed massive $100 million contracts
53 dozen Krispy Kreme donuts is definitely an expensive joke. But it’s one that won’t have any effect on the wallets of Charles Barkley and the crew. Why? Well, Sir Charles and the rest of the team have struck a long-term $100 million deal to own TNT.
The entire 'Inside the NBA' cast has agreed to long-term contract extensions.
New management at Warners Bros. Discovery have shown a willingness to do what it takes to re-up with the NBA — and fend off deep-pocketed bidders Amazon and Apple.https://t.co/C9bXrX9cFZ

With that kind of money, they could buy their own Krispy Kreme franchise. Something that wouldn’t be too far-fetched for Barkley.
Shaq already has one.
