Barkley teased Walker s name🤫 The real person responded: I was a little offended. This name is very important to me

Previously, Barkley teased the name of Timberwolves player Nikil Alexander Walker on the show.

Barkley quipped: "Is Nikil his real name? Who is making characters? Nikil is not a name at all. It is probably named after the nickel, and he spelled it incorrectly."

In response to this remark, Walker himself responded in an interview: "To be honest, I felt a little offended at first. This is somewhat disrespectful because I am proud of myself, and my name is an important part of my identity. You know that this name comes from someone I care very much, and it means a lot. My mother is Nicole and her father is Nicholas. My mother originally wanted to name me 'Khalil ' - a friend gave the baby this name a few months before the birth of her child. Finally, my grandmother named me 'Nickeil '. You know, grandmother has a very important position in my life."
