Charles Barkley Is Selling His Awards To Give Back To His Hometown

A former NBA star plans to sell his 1996 Olympic gold medal and 1993 NBA MVP trophy to fund the construction of up to 20 affordable green houses in Leeds, Alabama. He will collaborate with the sports card company PANNINI to auction the memorabilia, expecting to raise $300,000 to $400,000. The star expressed that he doesn't need the awards to define his identity and wants to contribute positively to Leeds. His daughter supports the idea but wishes to keep the 1992 Dream Team Olympic gold medal for its sentimental value.
