"I had to go there, didn't I": Ernie Johnson and the Inside the NBA crew were stunned after hearing Charles Barkley's tattoo idea
Back in December 2022, "Inside the NBA" hosts Ernie Johnson and Charles Barkley talked about Chuck's tattoo idea. There was an upcoming segment at the time wherein Barkley would get a tattoo live on TV. The NBA legend graphically described the tattoo he was planning to get.
"I'm gonna get two big Ms on my a**," Barkley said. "So when i'm standing right up it's going to say 'Mom', when I stand upside down it's gonna be 'Wow'.
Ernie Johnson was initially confused about how his tattoo would spell 'Mom' and 'Wow' considering that Barkley was only going to get an 'M' and an 'M'.
"I'm dumbfounded," Johnson said. "That's just an 'M' and an 'M'. Where's the 'O'?" Johnson then slowly realized. "I had to go there didn't I?"
