Sixers legend Charles Barkley golfs with Knicks star Jalen Brunson
It's deep into the offseason in the NBA so now is the time for random players and legend to link up and participate in a random activity. New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson and Philadelphia 76ers legend Charles Barkley fell into that category on the golf course. Barkley, who is considered one of the best players in the history of the league, is famous for his unorthodox golf swing. He was on the golf course posing with Brunson, his father Rick Brunson, and legendary Villanova coach Jay Wright via the younger Brunson's Instagram account. The legendary Sixers forward certainly like he avoided any lowlights when considering there was no other video clip on Twitter. Brunson and the Knicks have to be considered the favorites in the Eastern Conference in the 2025-26 season. They are currently the healthiest team and have their core intact from a conference finals run the previous season. The Sixers will look for their own clean bill of health to take down the Knicks in the coming season.

Fitness guru and Professional Long Driver Averee Dovsek shares how using a wall and a golf club can put an end to coming too inside at impact or delivering the club early.
