Charles Barkley
They run like deer, jump like deer and think like deer.
Charles Barkley
I'm not paid to be a role model. I'm paid to wreak havoc on the basketball court.

There's only 5 real jobs in the world. Teacher, fireman, policeman, doctor and somebody who is in the armed service. If you don't have one of those 5 jobs, you shouldn't take your life that serious.

Charles Barkley
Hakeem couldn't kick your ass cause you were too close, kissing his!
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
I can be bought. If they paid me enough, I'd work for the Klan.
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
Poor people cannot rely on the government to come to help you in times of need. You have to get your education. Then nobody can control your destiny.
