More quotes by Charles Barkley
Any professional league that goes on strike right now - that's just suicide.
Charles Barkley
Well, when I went off to college, the guys I used to hang with were pumping gas and voting Democrat. Today they're still pumping gas and voting Democrat. Guess the Democrats didn't do much for them.
Charles Barkley
I don't believe professional athletes should be role models. I believe parents should be role models.... It's not like it was when I was growing up. My mom and my grandmother told me how it was going to be. If I didn't like it, they said, Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. Parents have to take better control.
Charles Barkley
The only difference between a good shot and a bad shot is if it goes in or not.
Charles Barkley
I don't hate anyone, at least not for more than 48 minutes, barring overtime.
Charles Barkley
Look, I'm in the top 20 of players who ever lived.
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
The main thing to do is relax and let your talent do the work.
Charles Barkley
I think anybody who is racist is an idiot whether they are black or white.
Charles Barkley
I'm never embarassed.
Charles Barkley
I think that the team that wins game five will win the series. Unless we lose game five.
Charles Barkley
They always try to make it like jocks discriminate against gay people. I've been a big proponent of gay marriage for a long time, because as a black person, I can't be in for any form of discrimination at all.
Charles Barkley
I don't how anybody taller than 6-4 can sit in those seats. And the airline executives don't give a damn 'cause they never walk back there in the first place. I don't fly first class because I have a lot of money. I do it because I need the room.
Charles Barkley
There's nobody you'd rather beat than your good friend.
Charles Barkley
Hakeem couldn't kick your ass cause you were too close, kissing his!
Charles Barkley
When you get arrested it's in big letters. When you get acquitted it's in small letters.
Charles Barkley
If somebody hits you with an object you should beat the hell out of them.
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
Adrian Dantley is a guy that I looked at . . . on how to maneuver my body around.
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.
