More quotes by Charles Barkley
Any professional league that goes on strike right now - that's just suicide.
Charles Barkley
I always laugh when people ask me about rebounding techniques. I've got a technique. It's called just go get the damn ball.
Charles Barkley
Most sportswriters don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.
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
He'll never be Jordan. This clearly takes him out of the conversation. He can win as much as he wants to.
Charles Barkley
Unfortunately, as I tell my white friends, we as black people, we're never going to be successful not because of you white people but because of other black people.
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 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
Curling is not a sport. I called my grandmother and told her she could win a gold medal because they have dusting in the Olympics now.
Charles Barkley
I want her to understand that it's going to be a factor in her life. I just want her to know that (racism) does exist, and I want her to always be diligent, and if she sees it, address it and fight it.
Charles Barkley
I'm not a role model.
Charles Barkley
Jerry Krause must have pictures of his boss's wife having sex with a monkey.
Charles Barkley
There's nobody you'd rather beat than your good friend.
Charles Barkley
I May Be Wrong but I Doubt It.
Charles Barkley
I'm not a role model... Just because I dunk a basketball doesn't mean I should raise your kids.
Charles Barkley
I just wish all these young black kids would realize how significant it is to stop acting a fool out there, killing each other, not getting their education. You know, people have died to put us in a situation to be successful.
Charles Barkley
I'm not paid to be a role model. I'm paid to wreak havoc on the basketball court.
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
There's no medical term for what I've got.
