It's a nickname coming from the fact that Charles is an English name

Yeah, it´s just a nickname cause of "Charles" (popular name in england, Prince Charles).
And yes you can be knighted if you´re from the US (like Bill Gates or f.e. George Bush, Ronald Reagan). But he is not "Sir" Bill Gates, because you have to be born in Great Britain or the commonwealth to call you "Sir".

RE:
Was "SIR" Charles Barkley of basketball really "knighted"? Is this just a nick-name?

I am no fan of England or of the idea of a King and or Queen Or any of their "Royal" Stuck up prissy *** crap over there where they say stupid terms like Bullocks and blimey and govnah and bloody wanka and add U s to words they do not belong in knowing full well they do not belong, BUT... This man s name being Charles is no excuse nor valid reason to ever refer to him as "Sir" if he has not in fact been knighted by the Queen! That is how things are done there and it is inappropriate in the extreme for him to have carried that Nickname when he did not earn it! It is no different imo that Chump *** Trump now having a Purple Heart HE DID NOT EARN!!! Barkley is no Knight and Trump is no war hero!

nope. it's a nickname. sir is supposed to be there because it fits into a royal name.
