Charles Barkley
We're not all supposed to think alike.
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
Any professional league that goes on strike right now - that's just suicide.
Charles Barkley
What does politically correct mean? If you're fat, don't ask me if you're fat, because I'm gonna tell you the truth. You're fat.

Charles Barkley
I can be bought. If they paid me enough, I'd work for the Klan.
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
