More quotes by Charles Barkley
If you go out with a girl and they say she has a great personality, she's ugly. If they tell you a guy works hard, he can't play a lick. Same thing.
Charles Barkley
I think anybody who is racist is an idiot whether they are black or white.
Charles Barkley
You know what I always say about basketball whenever anybody tried to tell me the Knicks are gonna be good: They're old. Old people don't get healthy. They die.

Charles Barkley
I think it sucks that in our country [the USA] there is such a double standard education-wise. Which part of the city you live in, or something like that, determines if you'll be successful, and that's not fair.
Charles Barkley
We don't need refs, but I guess white guys need something to do.
Charles Barkley
Any time a little midget does something like this, you gotta give him a 10!.
Charles Barkley

Charles Barkley
If ifs were gifts, every day would be Christmas.
Charles Barkley
I think the biggest problem is parents are so concerned with being friends with their kids. You're not their friend. You're their parent.
Charles Barkley
Kids are great. That's one of the best things about our business, all the kids you get to meet. It's a shame they have to grow up to be regular people and come to the games and call you names.
Charles Barkley
I didnt wear the pink panties because I didnt want America going crazy with excitement.
Charles Barkley
He's got to bring something stronger than that. That's like bringing milk to a bar, it's not strong enough
Charles Barkley
Adrian Dantley is a guy that I looked at . . . on how to maneuver my body around.
Charles Barkley
Most sportswriters don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.
