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.

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
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
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
If all babies are so cute, how the hell do we have so many ugly people in the world?
Charles Barkley
I think anybody who is racist is an idiot whether they are black or white.
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
If somebody hits you with an object you should beat the hell out of them.
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
If I weren't earning $3 million a year to dunk a basketball, most people on the street would run in the other direction if they saw me coming.
