Charles Barkley butchers Kawhi Leonard's name on air

NBA on TNT/Vine

Charles Barkley occasionally has trouble pronouncing the names of certain NBA talents, with center Jonas Valanciunas of the Toronto Raptors being one of his more legendary flubs.

Prior to Monday's Game 5 matchup between the Dallas Mavericks and Oklahoma City Thunder, Barkley royally butchered the name of NBA Defensive Player of the Year Kawhi Leonard, calling him "Kowee Leonard."

He eventually owned up to his mistake, saying that he confused Leonard with Kyrie Irving.

It happens, Chuckster.
