Since the NFL regular season is over, rookie QB Cam Newton  has been seen at a couple NBA games.  The latest was the Phoenix Suns game against the Portland Trailblazers (who they demolished by the way 102-77).  This game was a little different because controversy erupted over how Cam Newton acquired the tickets.  Rumor spread that Charles Barkley gave him the courtside seats.  It all doesn’t make much sense to me, I mean Cam is the former Heisman winner and easily the Rookie of the Year to me, I think he’s more than capable of obtaining courtside seats to a Suns game.  Check the pic and what Barkley had to say after the jump.
“They can kiss my [rear],†said Barkley, who still lives in the Phoenix area and plans to attend Monday night’s Tostitos BCS National Championship Game. “I didn’t get Cam Newton tickets. My phone was going crazy and I was surprised. I don’t know Cam Newton. But if Cam Newton had asked me for tickets, I would have gotten them for him.â€
Barkley said Newton deserves a lot more than courtside tickets to an NBA game with all the money he’s helped generate for Auburn.
“I personally think that as much money as they’re making off these kids, the system is broken and we need to fix it,†Barkley said.
