Charles Barkley to auction off MVP trophy, gold medal and other memorabilia to build affordable housing in Alabama

NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley is getting ready to part ways with some of his most valuable memorabilia as a way to fund affordable housing in his hometown of Leeds, Alabama.

He shared that he’ll be auctioning off his 1993 MVP trophy, one of his gold medals, and a flag signed by every Dream Team member, among other things during an interview with WJOX 94.5 FM, to raise money for the project.

That’s just a tremendous act of generosity by Sir Charles, who has a history of giving back to communities in need. Recently, he donated $2 million to a couple historically black colleges — $1 million to Alabama A&M University in Huntsville, Alabama, and another $1 million to Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta.
