Still, though the volume came down a bit, Barkley continued throughout his final years as a player to challenge the predilections and prejudices of the men who present him to the world. He calls the journalistic pack "flies," because they're always buzzing around, annoying. One day, in front of his locker, I witnessed pure Barkley. Before the throng could lob its first question at him, Barkley singled out a Houston television reporter. "Would you suck a for a million dollars?" he asked. A roomful of men all instantly looked at their shoes.
"No," came the cracked-voice reply.
"A billion?" Barkley challenged.
"No," said the reporter, stronger now.
"Well, how much then?"
"I wouldn't do it for anything!"
Barkley grinned widely. "Well, if you'd do it for free, come on over here then," he said, while nervous laughter filled the air around him. "Tell y'all what, I would. If I was poor, I'd suck a for a million dollars."
He paused and looked at his audience. "And all you mutha as would do the same, you just scared to admit it," he said. "Like, remember when that movie 'Indecent Proposal' came out? Oprah had on three couples who said they wouldn't let their husband or wife sleep with someone for a million dollars. Couldn't help but notice that they all had money already."
I always enjoyed the "I'm gay and I'm going to rehab" quote that he said on Inside the NBA. I think he was making fun of Isaiah Washington.
13. On North Carolina missing 22 of its last 23 shots in losing to Georgetown in the NCAA tournament last weekend: “Stevie Wonder could make one of 23 shots.”
hahahahha barkley is hilarious
Love Charles!
Got to love him!
This guy is FUNNY!
What a jackass. I wish this guy was off the air.
Vagina.
Chuck is the truth, good laughs
nice find thanks for posting this
No prob.
15. On supersized Oliver Miller: “You can’t even jump high enough to touch the rim, unless they put a Big Mac on it.”
ohh the irony
Charles Barkley's definitely the most entertaining sports broadcaster ever.
Barkley comes up with a few funny lines but most of the entertainment value with him is because so many of his ignorant comments are unintentionally funny.
thanks for posting this
30. When the Dream Team was about to play the Angola national team, during pre-game interviews the other USA players provided diplomatic, face saving comments about how they would play hard and felt strongly they would win. When Chuck was asked about Angola and the game, he replied: “They’re in a lot of trouble."
I saw the video of this a while back on youtube, my god that had me rolling. It was comedy because the rest of the dream team even though they knew they were gunna own Angola, they at least tried to play it off. Chuck just straight up owned them haha
