I'm not a role model... Just because I dunk a basketball doesn't mean I should raise your kids.
Charles Barkley
People always say turn the other cheek. If you turn the other cheek, I'm gonna hit you in the other cheek too.

It's kinda great to see the Celtics doin well again cuz that was so much fun in my day to go to the Boston Garden and they spit at you and throw things at you and talk about your mom. It sounds like dinner at Kenny Smith's house.
Charles Barkley
The older I get, the faster I was.
