Any professional league that goes on strike right now - that's just suicide.
Charles Barkley
It bothers me when I hear these reporters and jocks get on TV and say: 'Oh, no guy can come out in a team sport. These guys would go crazy.' First of all, quit telling me what I think. I'd rather have a gay guy who can play than a straight guy who can't play.
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
Poor people have been voting for Democrats for the last 50 years and they're still poor.

Charles Barkley
I'm afraid of the skeletons in my closet. I've got a whole cemetery full of them.
Charles Barkley
I'm still going to Disney World.
Charles Barkley
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
I didnt wear the pink panties because I didnt want America going crazy with excitement.
Charles Barkley
Sometimes that light at the end of the tunnel is a train.
Charles Barkley
I can be bought. If they paid me enough, I'd work for the Klan.
Charles Barkley
People say I eat a lot. I really don't. More or less I just eat all the time.
Charles Barkley
I don't hate anyone, at least not for more than 48 minutes, barring overtime.

Most sportswriters don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.
