Teen reporter Jarrius goes toe to toe with Barkley, sits in for Westbrook
Fourteen-year-old Saints superfan and social media correspondent Jarrius Robertson is once again stealing the spotlight, this time at the NBA All-Star Game festivities in New Orleans.
First up for Robertson, who has a rare liver disease called biliary atresia, was a meeting with the "NBA on TNT" crew, during which he was challenged to a fight with Charles Barkley.

On Friday, Robertson entertained the media while they waited for Russell Westbrook, and received some advice from the Oklahoma City Thunder star.

He also asked John Wall about his favorite home-cooked meal, and wasn't at all impressed with the response.
This young reporter is not fond of @JohnWall's choice for favorite home cooked meal 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/MzLxl930fv
