Charles Barkley doesn't want kids on the podium

Charles Barkley wants NBA players on the podium solo.

Weighing in on the controversy that was stirred up after Stephen Curry brought his adorable daughter, Riley, to a postgame press conference with hilarious results, Hall of Famer Barkley admitted he would like player's children to skip the podium.

"Reporters are there trying to do their job," Barkley told USA Today Sports' Nina Mandell. "I don't think it’s a big deal but I would prefer (players) not bring their kids, reporters are trying to do their job."

Barkley explained that he didn't consider bringing his daughter to a press conference when he was an active player.

Riley, though, isn't concerned.

Bye, Charles.
