Charles Barkley has decided to shy away from his old habits as he declared his resolution for his New Year as he was joined on the basketball show NBA on TNT by fellow hosts Shaquille O’Neal, Ernie Johnson, and Kenny Smith.

Charles Barkley announces his New Year’s resolution
As the cast of the show were discussing their resolutions for the New Year, Charles Barkley announced his 2024 New Year resolution.
The one-time MVP and eleven-time All-Star announced to the crew that he would be giving up Diet Coke for the upcoming year in an attempt to live a healthy lifestyle. Before he made the auspicious resolution, the former superstar revealed to the crew that he used to drink about 10 to 15 Diet Coke cans daily.
Barkley, who recently had an online feud with Shaq, said to his fellow counterparts, “You know I drink about 10 to 15 to 20 diet cokes a day, I want to give up Diet Coke.”
It is quite certain that the former NBA legend took on this type of lifestyle after his glorified NBA career. The legend has played 1,073 games in the league, where he has averaged 22.1 points per game while also grabbing 11.7 rebounds per night.
Barkley was joined by his fellow hosts in making resolutions for the year. Shaquille O’Neal wished all the people who could not have a good 2023 a great 2024 and urged them to follow their passions. Kenny Smith made a resolution to stay organized, while Ernie Johnson promised to reduce his tendency to procrastinate.
Previously, Barkley also lost over 60 pounds in a massive lifestyle change, which saw the legend take to healthy ways and eliminate all of these unhealthy habits while also taking controlled medications.

The Suns’ legend underwent a massive weight loss after he started taking weight loss medication, Mounjaro. The star previously used to weigh a high of 352 lbs and dropped down to around 290 lbs in the massive change.
Barkley said that the change in his lifestyle inspired by his weight loss was one to be continued in the future. He also said that he loved his new life, where he felt great physically.
Speaking on his amazing weight loss, Barkley said, “At some point, I’ve got to get off the drug, but I feel so good physically, I’ve got to make sure I don’t get fat again. You don’t even realize how crappy you feel until you start losing weight.”
Barkley joins Tesla founder and one of the richest people on the planet Elon Musk, who also relied on the use of the drug for increased and enhanced results in their respective weight losses.
