Enough with the DUIs

Charles Barkley

They make millions, yet they partake in foolishness like this and risk everything.

Here’s the latest in celeb DUI cases – both former NBA stars.

The very sweaty Charles Barkley is pictured here in a mugshot. He was charged for drunk driving and running a stop sign in Arizona on New Year’s Eve.

His reason? He was reportedly racing to meet a girl for a particular sexual favor.

He even jokingly offered to get a tattoo of one of the police employees names on his butt, in an attempt to get out of the charge.

Charles Barkley had a 16 year NBA career and was inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame in 2006.

This is not his first run-in with the law.

Antoine Walker

Next up is Antoine Walker, the three-time All-Star player who helped Miami Heat win the NBA title in 2006 .

Not even a week after Barkley’s charge, the former NBA star was arrested and charged with suspicion of drunk driving in Miami yesterday.

He was driving a black Mercedes without the lights on when he was pulled over, and he refused a breathalyzer.

And apparently he was hoping to get back into the NBA game soon…

Your thoughts?
