Now, the test results have come back, and it’s great news. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Finally, some good news. Finally, we have something to cheer about. If the virus had come for Barkley, then it just would have been a bridge too far.
Charles Barkley isn’t just a basketball legend. He’s an incredibly entertaining and optimistic man. He lifts the spirits of everybody whenever he’s talking.
We need him on the front lines healthy and as entertaining as ever.
Luckily, it sounds like Barkley is going to be 100% okay, and that news couldn’t have come at a better time. We desperately need to hear good things.
Stay frosty, Chuck! Stay frost and stay healthy!
