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.

More quotes by Charles Barkley
The older I get, the faster I was.
Charles Barkley
I know I'm never as good or bad as one single performance. I've never believed in my critics or my worshippers, and I've always been able to leave the game at the arena.
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 remember sitting down with the Rockets and saying, 'Yeah. I'm going to retire.' They said, 'Well, we'll give you $9 million.' And I said, 'You got a pen on you?'
Charles Barkley
I can be bought. If they paid me enough, I'd work for the Klan.
Charles Barkley
Poor white people and poor black people just don't know how much they have in common. Rich people don't give a damn about either group.
Charles Barkley
I'm really disturbed about the gay marriage thing. Because I think gay people should get married, cause it's their own business ... Because as a Black man, I think you've got to be against any form of discrimination.
Charles Barkley
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
He'll never be Jordan. This clearly takes him out of the conversation. He can win as much as he wants to.
Charles Barkley
Every time I hear the word conservative it makes me sick to my stomach.
Charles Barkley
The only difference between a good shot and a bad shot is if it goes in or not.
Charles Barkley
Sometimes I have to criticize guys to try to make it fun, I mean, I'm out there trying to bust other people. I want all these guys to do well, but when they do something stupid or don't play well, I try not to kill 'em, I try to make 'em laugh a little bit.
Charles Barkley
He's got to bring something stronger than that. That's like bringing milk to a bar, it's not strong enough
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
I'm so sick and tired of people in the media telling us that because of the war, sports aren't important. Fans need sports. We'd have only crime and war to watch on TV if not for sports.
Charles Barkley
Only poor people go to jail.
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.
Charles Barkley
I think anybody who is racist is an idiot whether they are black or white.
Charles Barkley
Poor people have been voting for Democrats for the last 50 years and they're still poor.
Charles Barkley
I'm just what America needs: another unemployed black man. (on his retirement from basketball)
