Charles Barkley Compares Jhoni Broome to LeBron James, Praises Bruce Pearl for Elevating Auburn Basketball
Auburn legend Charles Barkley is never one to hold back his opinions, and after Jhoni Broome’s dominant 22-point, 13-rebound performance, he made a bold comparison that caught everyone’s attention. The Hall of Famer and TNT analyst likened Broome’s impact on Auburn basketball to none other than LeBron James, emphasizing how the Tigers’ star big man has become a game-changer under Bruce Pearl’s leadership.
Barkley: “He’s Controlling the Game Like LeBron”
Speaking after Auburn’s latest victory, Barkley was full of praise for Broome, highlighting the forward’s ability to dominate both ends of the floor.
“Jhoni Broome is out there controlling the game like LeBron does,” Barkley said. “He’s scoring, rebounding, and making plays for his teammates. That’s the kind of all-around impact you don’t see often at the college level.”
While Broome and James play different positions, Barkley’s comparison focused on their ability to dictate the pace of a game and elevate the players around them. Broome’s 22-point, 13-rebound performance showcased his versatility, much like how LeBron has dominated games throughout his career.
Bruce Pearl: The Architect of Auburn’s Rise
Barkley didn’t stop at praising Broome—he also made sure to give Bruce Pearl his due credit. The former NBA MVP has long been an outspoken supporter of Auburn basketball, and he believes Pearl has transformed the program into a powerhouse.
“Bruce Pearl has taken Auburn basketball to a level we’ve never seen before,” Barkley said. “We were never supposed to be a basketball school, but now, we expect to compete with the best. That’s all because of Bruce.”
Since taking over in 2014, Pearl has led Auburn to multiple NCAA Tournament appearances, including a Final Four run in 2019. Under his leadership, the Tigers have developed NBA talent and become a force in the SEC.
The Future is Bright for Auburn Basketball
With Broome leading the charge, Barkley believes Auburn has the pieces to make a deep run this season. The former NBA star also had a message for the rest of the college basketball world:
“Y’all better stop sleeping on Auburn. Bruce Pearl’s got these boys playing with confidence, and Jhoni Broome is a problem.”
As the Tigers continue their march through the season, Broome’s performances will be key in keeping Auburn among the nation’s elite. And with Charles Barkley hyping them up, you can bet the spotlight will only get bigger.
