More quotes by Charles Barkley

Charles Barkley
I'm not a role model... Just because I dunk a basketball doesn't mean I should raise your kids.
Charles Barkley
There's nobody you'd rather beat than your good friend.
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'm not paid to be a role model. I'm paid to wreak havoc on the basketball court.
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
