Charles Barkley and Grant Hill wore oxygen masks to withstand Denver’s high altitude
Denver’s height may cause trouble in the world as Charles Barkley and Grant Hill want to play it safe, leading to a VIDEO capturing them from their Game 1 commentary wearing oxygen masks while on vacation. Nuggets NBA Finals with the Heat.
5280 is everywhere in Denver. The reason is to remind people that the elevation in this area is 1,609 meters (5,280 feet). Oxygen levels in the region are low. And that’s what made Charles Barkley and Grant Hill decide to… take oxygen with them to make sure they didn’t get into trouble.
A VIDEO that has emerged shows the two veteran stars — and current commentators — taking a break from their commentary and donning oxygen masks to avoid trouble in the first game of the NBA Finals between the Nuggets and the Heat in Denver.
Barkley and Hill’s specific decision was met with humor by many, some recalling Erik Spoelstra’s rant about…air conditioning in Miami. However, the two veteran NBA players didn’t do it to go viral. They felt they had to do this in order to have enough oxygen in their bodies. Both have played on this field many times as players and know the dangers better than anyone.
