Charles Barkley responded to a rumor that claimed he gave Phoenix Suns tickets to Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton.

Birmingham sports anchor Jim Dunaway sent a tweet on Wednesday saying, “Hanging at Lakers-Suns … Pugh and most Auburn players in upper deck … Cam in lower bowl. Thanks Barkley for the tix.”

Dunaway explained later that he was just thanking Barkley for the tickets and wasn’t claiming the Inside the NBA analyst gave Newton tickets.

Something tells me that Barkley and Dunaway aren’t exactly the best of friends.
