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.

More quotes by 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.
Charles Barkley
The most underrated player in NBA history is Dominique Wilkins. Right behind him is Gary Payton. He never has gotten the respect he deserves. If he doesn't spend the rest of his days in Seattle, I hope he goes someplace where he has a chance to win a title.
Charles Barkley
We don't need refs, but I guess white guys need something to do.
Charles Barkley
If all babies are so cute, how the hell do we have so many ugly people in the world?
Charles Barkley
If you go out with a girl and they say she has a great personality, she's ugly. If they tell you a guy works hard, he can't play a lick. Same thing.
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
You got to believe in yourself. Hell, I believe I'm the best-looking guy in the world and I might be right.
Charles Barkley
But when I see a story on welfare on television, they only show black people.
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
If you're scarde to fail, you don't deserve to be successful.
Charles Barkley
It ain't like we're curing cancer or anything, we're watching basketball.
Charles Barkley
I was a Republican until they lost their minds
Charles Barkley
They run like deer, jump like deer and think like deer.
Charles Barkley
Only poor people go to jail.
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 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'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
Poor people have been voting for Democrats for the last 50 years and they're still poor.
Charles Barkley
People say I eat a lot. I really don't. More or less I just eat all the time.
Charles Barkley
I don't believe professional athletes should be role models. I believe parents should be role models.... It's not like it was when I was growing up. My mom and my grandmother told me how it was going to be. If I didn't like it, they said, Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. Parents have to take better control.
