It bothers me when I hear these reporters and jocks get on TV and say: 'Oh, no guy can come out in a team sport. These guys would go crazy.' First of all, quit telling me what I think. I'd rather have a gay guy who can play than a straight guy who can't play.

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 hate anyone, at least not for more than 48 minutes, barring overtime.
Charles Barkley
I played against him (Wilkins) in college. Getting nominated with him, that's pretty cool.
Charles Barkley
If somebody hits you with an object you should beat the hell out of them.

I think that the team that wins game five will win the series. Unless we lose game five.
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.
