More quotes by Charles Barkley
If ifs were gifts, every day would be Christmas.
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.

Charles Barkley
All I know is, as long as I led the Southeastern Conference in scoring, my grades would be fine.
Charles Barkley
Sometimes I have to criticize guys to try to make it fun, I mean, I'm out there trying to bust other people. I want all these guys to do well, but when they do something stupid or don't play well, I try not to kill 'em, I try to make 'em laugh a little bit.
Charles Barkley
I don't care what people think. people are stupid.
Charles Barkley

Poor people have been voting for Democrats for the last 50 years and they're still poor.
Charles Barkley
Listening to a woman is almost as bad as losing to one. There are only three things that women are better at than men: cleaning, cooking, and having sex.
Charles Barkley
I can be bought. If they paid me enough, I'd work for the Klan.
