Saturday was a special day for Auburn alum Charles Barkley.

Barkley, who played basketball for the Tigers from 1981 to 1984, had a statue unveiled in his honor on Saturday morning before the Iron Bowl.

He also was asked to be on ESPN’s College GameDay as a guest picker.

Barkley was joined by former Auburn running back Bo Jackson at the statue unveiling. Jackson spoke highly of Barkley, while also poking a bit of fun at him.

Jackson wore a shirt that said, “Barkley, mine is bigger than yours.”

That was, of course, referring to the fact that Jackson also has a statue on campus. Auburn is lucky to have both a football legend and a basketball legend who each now have a statue.

Here are a few tweets that capture the unveiling:

Barkley seemed quite appreciative of the gesture from his alma mater:
