Charles Barkley has been involved in some classic NBA fights.
He didn't find this week's tussle between Joel Embiid and Karl-Anthony Towns to be anything like a classic.

"A snuggle party," Sir Charles called the altercation when asked about it on TNT. "They were two guys holding each other. There was no punches thrown. How can you call something a fight when there’s no punches thrown?”
The league is taking the fight a little more seriously than Barkley is; both Embiid and Towns have been suspended for two games.
Although that may be as much for their social media activity after the fight than for the fight itself.
Here's the Embiid-KAT fight and Charles in action back in the day.
KAT and Embiid GOING AT IT.
