Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith ride around on Ron Hunter-style scooters (Video)
Ever since he tore his Achilles while celebrating the Sun Belt Conference tournament championship, Georgia State coach Ron Hunter has been using a scooter known as a “steerable knee walker” to get around at the NCAA tournament.

After CBS aired a piece about Hunter and his son R.J., who hit the game-winning shot for GSU against Baylor, studio analysts Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith decided to try out the steerable knee walker for themselves.
Smith and Barkley seemed to enjoy themselves quite a bit. When host Greg Gumbel said that the knee walker’s weight limit is 300 pounds, Barkley made sure to let him know that he meets the criteria, thanks in part to Weight Watchers.
We hope that Hunter can stay upright on his knee walker until he sits back down on his now-famous rolling chair (that he fell off) for GSU's Round of 32 matchup with Xavier on Saturday.
