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

Charles Barkley
They run like deer, jump like deer and think like deer.
Charles Barkley
I don't hate anyone, at least not for more than 48 minutes, barring overtime.
Charles Barkley
