Eichel, a fan of Inside The NBA, revealed that he supports the Boston Celtics.
Despite Eichel's awareness of Barkley as a prominent TV personality, he may not be familiar with his basketball career.
Nevertheless, Eichel expressed his appreciation for Barkley's interest in the NHL and his love for hockey.
«I think that was a little unfortunate. I think it was taken out of context. I was in a conversation with somebody, and he came by and introduced himself. We said hi quick. And he said, �I don't want to interrupt you,' and he kind of just kept on walking down the road. And that was the extent of it,» explained Eichel, a Massachusetts native who roots for the Boston Celtics.
«So, it might have just been taken a little bit wrong. But he's awesome. It's great that he's been following hockey, and it's cool to see the relationship that the TNT guys have formed.
«But I'm a big Inside the NBA fan. I think they do a great job on that show, and I really enjoy watching it.»
