Charles Barkley Talks Golf, Family, Pickup Basketball with Alabama's Nick Saban

Charles Barkley is usually the one getting interviewed.

But on Sunday, the retired NBA star-turned-analyst for Turner Sports held a conversation with Alabama head coach Nick Saban.

When talking about golf—not a strong spot for Sir Charles—the 64-year-old coach insisted Barkley was not a lost cause. The big man responded by saying that if Saban could help turn his game around, Barkley would erect a statue of him at his Arizona home.

The two also talked family, and Saban said he wished he attended his children's athletic events more often over the years.

Toward the end (about the seven-minute mark), Saban touched on his preseason pickup basketball routine. He said that when 16-year NBA veteran Avery Johnson came to coach the Crimson Tide, the career point guard had to switch positions.

Saban runs the point.
